all reviews » Our family of 9 with ages ranging from 11 to 78 stayed 2 nights in 3 triple rooms with private bathrooms. We liked being able to cook dinners and eat breakfast there. Did get crowded during dinner time. Free wifi is available but only in lobby and up to 2nd floor. The bigger room on the 4th floor, suitable for up to 4 people, it was quite clean and comfortable, we stayed there for three of the four nights. REALLY close to O'Connell, practically anyything in the city centre reachable on foot. cheap, en-suite without having to pay extra, clean bedlinen, clean bathroom, free tv in the room, free wifi in some areas, location is 2 min walk of Parnell Street. Very close to the city centre, the bus from and to the airport has a stop in the same street, private rooms with bathroom at a cheap price. Triple room replaced a Quadruple room, one double size bed one bunk bed. Warm room, you can cook by yourself in the kitchen. The value and the price was perfect, but it is really important you don't look for the cleanest place in Dublin. Still a reasonable price on a very busy weekend. Staff were very helpful. Good location to city centre. i liked the staff and i was happy there were clean sheets but thats as far as it goes. Friendly staff, check-in and check-out were quick (something I always appreciate). The hostel offered fantastic value for money and the staff were very friendly. The staff was nice, good location, nice common lounge and kitchen. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Close to train station. Very good location, less than 5 min from o'Connell street. I liked the staff. They are very helpful and friendly. Price is very good being so close to Oconnel Street. Staff very friendly, especially young french girl. location, surprisingly comfy bed. great position: all is near!. Location and staff and heat. affordable. Very good location and price. Very practical for all transport connections (bus station, tram, trains, airport coaches etc). Walking distance to everywhere. Feels perfectly secure and people working there are nice. The staff were friendly and gave me a quiet room at the back as requested. The bedroom and ensuite toilet/shower were clean and the bed was comfortable. it's very close to city centre ..nice male staff who know some stuff and did help me out ... Good location in the centre, not far from O'Connel street and the AirCoach bus stop. The rooms themselves were clean and were a good safe space to sleep. position near o connol street and staff very friendly. Staff was friendly and helpful Clean bed linen. Central Location Inexpensive. lower price would be better. The location is great. Close to city center. Ubicació. Location. Location and price. Only the rooms. Nice Staff. Nothing. Location and price. If you want cheap and good location, this is for you. But I highly recommend paying a bit extra and not staying in a crack den. The only good thing of this hostel was the location since it was 5 minutes walking from O'Connell St. and just 10-15 min to Temple Bar. Position was good and very close to the O2 Arena that we needed to go to. Within walking distance to the central city and shopping areas. There was nothing to like. Good location. Having to say your room no. every time you enter, wristbands would have been easier. Lack of toilet paper. Cold bathroom (windows open too often) Not enough power sockets for everyone to charge their devices. (2 sockets per room). The bathrooms are a bit damaged. The place has potential but isn't well kept. Kitchen stove doesn't light on its own and staff didnt have any lighters. We were constantly asking people for lighters. I didn't realize there weren't any elevators so it was a bit difficult for the grandparents in our party. Rooms were clean. Toilets didn't flush well. Door locks worked but were flimsy. Keep your money and passports on you at all times. The first night, only two of us had arrived, so we booked a smaller room at first. This was located on the second floor and was pretty disgusting. The bathrooms ceiling was mould infested, the room smelled of smoke and the matress was holey and full of staints. We were glad this was for one night only. place needs some maintenance, if you stay in a dorm you need to use the common bathrooms which are gross, kitchen is not very clean or well-equipped. Not very clean, the table in my room was broken, the bathroom had no curtains and was a bit small for taking a good shower, I had to cross another room to get to my private room. No tower in the bathroom,. The bed was really unconfortable and I needed to clean the bath because it was really dirty. The shower/toilet area felt like a Resident Evil movie, including the flickering fluorescent lights to make it feel even more spooky. Came back at 2.30am to find someone had tossed my stuff onto the floor and was sleeping in the bunk I had been using. Not the hostels fault, but you do sometimes get odd people in budget hostels. the floor felt like it could collapse at any moment carpet was not vacuumed the shower and toilet was filthy i wondered if the building was structurely sound. Towels in the room would be nice... I've seen hostels that have them and it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to provide them... The room was very basic and there were limited tolietries in the bathroom. The showers were dirty. We had a private, en suite room.There was mould on the floor in the bedroom and all over the bathroom. The shower was grubby. There were several pieces of used chewing gum stuck to the bed post. Shower, very warm in room. The walls and the ceiling in the room 23. Dirty and badlly maintained and run down. Sheet for bed didn't look clean. bathroom, bad wi-fi, neighbourhoods may be dangerous at night. good only if u come back to the room totally drunk and u wake up early to visit something. Toilet didnt work properly, black mold all over bathroom, thin walls, no warm water. wi-fi only available at lower floors. Wi-Fi only works on the first two floors and I was on the 3rd. Not very clean. Needs a lot of renovation. There was a TV in my room covered in dust and broken. Shower and toilet not working well either. The kitchen was dirty and poorly equipped (few utensils, no microwave, dirty kettle, dirty floor, shelves and tables). Also, I had to keep the bedroom window closed as it opened on to a fire escape and although it was restricted to opening about 25 cms, someone small could have got in during the night when I was asleep. The ensuite toilet/shower was clean but stained and could have done with upgrading. female staff didn't seem to know anything and was more or less guessing at things...hairs on beds and shower hadn't been cleaned fully ,no heat .. Rather dirty and badly equipped kitchen, lack of minimal bathroom fascilities, towels etc., lack of card terminal at the reception. The rooms were freezing, they water was freezing so no shower was possible. The staff was rude. The towels were way overpriced and were the size of tea towels. The common room is small and cramped. The wifi sucks, even down in the common area or reception. The room is terrible dirty, toilet is something you cannot imagine! wc is broken, floor is dirty, there were chewing gums attached to beds!!! Absolutely to avoid!!!!. Very dirty everywhere - dirty window, curtain, mustiness on the walls, very old and dirty bathroom, tv didn't work. Thin walls so you can hear every sound especially when at 4am in the next room someone talks loud and opens the window. Stinky Urine in shower Filthy Carpets Television did not work No towels( not that I would have taken a shower with the urine). poor facilities. The bathroom war really dirty. The shower broken and the washbasin drain did not work properly. cleanliness, facilities,. Neteja deficient. Les plantes superiors no disposen d'internet ni aigua calenta. Habitacions molt petites i mobiliari precari. Very small rooms and old furniture. Not clean. Internet and warm water don't work at upper floors. Cleanliness of the rooms was poor although to be fair the sheets, pillow cases, etc. were fresh and clean and probably shielded us from the dirty mattresses and pillows. The en-suite facilities were also poor, with a gift from the previous occupants still in the toilet... The bathroom is not clean also the kitchen. Dirty room, Moldy, bad wifi, room gross, no water pressure, so so location The room was had bugs in it, i woke up after one night of being there with bug bites all over. The place need to be fumigated. Bathroom were broken. They don't give customers printed receipts, just hand write. And the room is too small. change the lock on the door on the group dorm. if people are constantly having issues with it then it should just be changed. Dirty, dirty room. Dirt and dust all over window sill and plug sockets. White curtian which didn't even cover the whole window, with brown stains all over, and which dangled over the pillows on the bed. Tiny bathroom. Single duvet for a double bed (not really big enough for two adults to share, is it?). Foreign staff who didn't know about my booking or when housekeeping were going to show up to make up our room. Basically, we walked in and instantly knew we'd make a mistake booking this place. It was really dirty. The luggage room was full of what it looked like lost suitcases, kitchen looked disgusting and they didn't even have a hall and our room carpet looked like it hadn't been hoovered in a long time. In addition, they didn't have the heating on, even though it was cold outside. The room I booked was not available (private room and private bathroom). They asked us to share the room with other guests. Eventually we had a private room but we had to share a toilet in awful conditions where we could barely wash our teeth as it was too dirty for doing anything else. They were extremely overbooked for that night but this is unacceptable as I did book my accommodation in advance and they did not keep the promise. I had a discount on the rate, at least. Staff clueless and unhelpful. Very dirty and noisy room with questionable security. Shower barely worked. Perhaps the Dorms are better? Overpriced for what you get I felt. My room was not clean and the girl on the desk was not very helpful. It was the worst place i have ever stayed at. Bathroom was filthy Bed really uncomfortable Room was bad condition It was cold.
