Apathetic Staff

I liked nothing.

There was another guest in the room who constantly watched loud videos and took calls, but when I complained (even after midnight) the staff said they could do nothing about it.

Amazing relative price and location but no frills attached. Exactly as expected :)

Amazing location. Other reviews that complain have no idea as this is the cheapest private room you can find in central Dublin. If you want a glamorous hotel, expect to pay double or even triple for a private room in the same area. The room was clean and stayed warm with the heater and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and had hot water and clean towels provided but bring your own soap (I picked some up at the airport for cheap- 3 for 2 on essentials at Boots!) The wifi worked really well and I didn't have any issues with smells from the pizza place downstairs (and the discount was a plus as it was a good drunk meal). Even traveling as a solo female, I felt safe and the staff were very friendly.

Need to have a little document in each room to explain the facilities- where the kettle, fridge etc is. Would have been nice to have a smaller light on a bedside table as the only options at night are big room light or darkness, but this didn't bother me too much. The windows are thin and whilst this isn't a problem for heat, it allows a lot of sound in- although I was fine with this, especially at the price and location. Overall very minor complaints that I'm willing to overlook for the (relative) value...

Was only iffy

Close to the nightlife

The bunk beds weren't the most secure.... and the locks on the doors weren't working

Would not recommend

Great location

Our room was in the back of a fast food kitchen, we didn't have any windows and a really poor ventilation. I had to go through 2 stairs and enter 2 codes to go to the toilets. No lockers in the room to secure our belongings. Only two showers for 6 or 7 rooms of 6 people.

Pleasant experience

Location great. Room 5 on ground floor has little room with sofa outside if you come back and don’t want to disturb the other guests in the room. We arrived midnight on Friday night. Door from street was open. As another guest hadn’t shut it proper but guy from pizza shop checked us in very quickly. Couldn’t really see the room as other guest were asleep at this time. And up early before other guests. Did notice the next day the bedding was rather stained..Bed was comfy enough. Shower and toilets upstairs. Broken shower holder but water hot and managed to get clean. Microwave kettle and toaster on first floor. You certainly get what you pay for. In the heart or temple bar for £30 odd per night you’re definitely not getting luxury. If that’s what you’re after definitely do not go here. I was with a friend, overall felt safe.

Is what it is. You want a bed for a night that’s what u get

Old, noisy and unkept

The location is the only thing going for this place. It's just on the edge of temple bar.

Way too dirty and old fashioned to be charging what they're charging. The place is generally very unkept. There's no real reception or socialising area. No equipment or services. The rooms just have a bed. Mine had no desk or chair. Very old and almost falling apart. The bed was comfy, but given how old the windows were, you could hear anyone breathe on the busy streets below you. Every time I've stayed, other visitors were always loud or drunk and just never felt super safe. Would highly recommend somewhere else. Pure greed charging this much for a bed on top of a take away..

Rundown

Location is central.

Very old and dirty. No real socialising area or other services available. No real reception. Felt fairly unsafe. Could hear all street noise with old windows. Even with headphones or earbuds. Way too noisy and run down.

Unsettling

Good location, cheap

Noise, didn’t feel safe. I had a very unsettling interaction with another person staying there. I had my own room and when I went out to use bathroom a man came out of the toilet opposite, saw me and started loitering. He was still sitting on stool at window on level one opposite bathroom when I came out of ten minutes later and tried to talk to me. It was a real red flag. I said nothing and he got aggressive and said I was rude. I felt quite panicked by him. He continued to loiter outside my room until I left for work 30 minutes later.

Horrific

Only thing I liked about the property was when I left my keys at reception and walked out the main entrance at the end.

Too many items to mention. wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. Prisoner of war camp springs to mind. To very quickly summarise, my friend set foot in the property for all of 2 seconds before having to walk out. His room had no windows and ventilation, smell was atrocious. Trip hazards making me way up to the top floor where I was located. Never seen such bodged decor in all of my life (takes cowboy builder to a whole new level). Place was rather untidy messy and the guy working on the front desk couldn't be anymore unhelpful if he tried. Made a booking for 2 of us, put in separate rooms, requested whether we could be put in the same (stated these had already been taken) at 10pm still no sign of the other people, so we raised it again, Just stated "it is what it is". Never stay in this place you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy…

Location.. that’s it

This is single handedly the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. The room I was given had no window or ventilation. The complex was practically falling apart and it lacked basic amenities like a plug socket for the upper bunks. Walked out after 5 minutes and booked other accommodation.

Basic with a great location

Great location

Bit of a basic hostel, outdated a little but worth the price considering location and other prices in dublin

AVOID. Great location but pizza kitchen extractor fan all night makes it impossible to sleep.

The location is great if you want to be right in the heart of the city with bars and pubs nearby, and right by the river. The mattress was comfortable.

AVOID this place. The extractor fan from the pizza take-way place on the ground floor ran up and either behind and/or across the top of my room. So not only was it unbearably loud, the room vibrated. The pizza place is open until 5am on weekends, so I had to check out and book somewhere else. The room was tiny, and basic, which would be ok if not for the really expensive price. The single plug sock worked but was smashed into the wall. The curtains were so thin you could see through them. The bed covers were quite dated and worn. The one member of staff was ok, the other seemed to view guests as an inconvenience. There is also no signage outside, other than a one word "HOSTEL" sign.

Stayed here less than 24 hours & that was all we needed for our stay.

Right in the heart of Dublin! Location was great

Facilities weren’t great, but the host was very nice and gave us a lot of information.

You can only take rooms for 2 people. A room for 6 people is worse than a prison!

location

why is it not written anywhere that this hostel has rooms only for 2 guests?? we were given a room for 6 guests, but it was not a room, it is not intended for people!! it was a room without windows, without ventilation, without access to fresh air, very small. only 6 beds could fit in it and there was nothing else! nothing!!!! the bed linen was not fresh, it smelled of strangers, there were 6 of us in a tiny room without windows, there was nothing to breathe, it was stuffy. but we could not open the doors because our room was 1 meter from the front door to the street. I checked the rooms on all the other floors and everything was completely different there. nice rooms with windows with beds with a table, a wardrobe... I am very offended and unpleasant!! our friends lived together in a room with a comfortable bed, a window and furniture on the second floor, with a toilet on the floor and a shower on the floor for the same money that we paid. only we had a basement!!!

Disappointing

The location was great and the staff were helpful and friendly.

The bedding was not fresh, in fact it was very old and stained and it had a sour smell.

Very close to everything and great for a place to rest

Great location! Very comfortable mattress, great discount on the food downstairs. Small but cozy and secure room

Pillows were very flat and the curtains kept no light out. The toilets were a bit dirty but they were communal so it’s understandable

Would not stay again

Location very close to temple bar

Very untidy, dirty bathrooms, sheets smelt unclean and could feel all the springs in the mattress. No window in the room and no circulation. Hostel is attached to a pizza shop which is very noisy. I was meant to stay there an extra night alone after my friend left and booked to stay somewhere else because I didn’t feel safe alone there.

Great location to everything

I liked that the hostel was close to everything within a walking distance.

I got there early, kept buzzing the door and nobody ever answered the door. Someone was leave the hostel and I asked them how can I go inside? They let me in and nobody was at the front counter. I noticed there was a small waiting room, so I sat there. Then a Brazilian man came and said that I couldn’t sit there because they needed to clean in a rude tone. I apologized, and said I just wanted to leave my luggage to walk around, to which he did accept my luggage and kept it inside a closet. Second thing I didn’t like was that there was no lockers to lock up my luggage or valuables (most hostels I’ve stayed at have one). But I still have my locks that I use on my luggage.

Never go back

very little

The 6x bunk room had no natural light or air, it was a dungeon basically - very uncomfortable and hot, especially when more people arrived.

not wanna come again or recommend

only the location was good

the bed was so weak that I felt like it’s gonna break soon. There was no main entrance so I had to go to the pizza place to check in

5.0 / 10.0

Passable

The room and bathroom were fine. Nothing too awful or excellent to report, just basic hostel standard.

The location was very noisy. We had zero interaction with staff - there was never anyone working at the desk. We only interacted with the pizza staff once to check in and that was it. The bed was uncomfrotable and the windows unglazed so it was both cold and noisy.
