Convenient location

Very centrally located, with little or no outside noise from my side of the building; Ventilated dorms/bedrooms & friendly/helpful staff; Like all hostels, this one had it's pro & cons....was the cheapest place I could find for the night in question

No kitchen/canteen facilities for "outside food" eating, as they don't allow or encourage "outside food". Eating area is really only supposed to be for food sourced within the hostel itself

8.0 / 10.0

Good

I shared room in a 12 bunk one. The bed is pretty comfy and private. Also, the bathrooms were nice. Location is really good if you like being around temple

I don’t feel it’s a charming place: there is personal, yes, but check in is done in a machine, not by a worker. I think this loses the purpose of a hostel. Then, also felt they were charging money for anything: sleeping on the upper bed, on the lower, only-girls room… the last one, specially, shouldn’t be charged…. Plus, they don’t have a locker room for those who stay there: you receive the same treat as someone who doesn’t and have to pay to leave your stuff. That’s not helpful Also, I never encountered this problem before: two guys, specially one, were snoring a lot. Maybe offering a change of room or earplugs, as a welcome, would be very nice

Best hostel in town.

I had a great stay at Clink i Lár! The location right in the heart of Dublin was perfect — walking distance to Temple Bar, O’Connell Street and plenty of sights, which made getting around so easy. The hostel has a lively vibe and social spaces like the bar and lounge, which made it fun to meet other travelers. The overall atmosphere was enjoyable — great for both solo travelers and friends exploring Dublin. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were tidy. All in all, it’s excellent value for money in a superb central location — I’d definitely recommend it if you want a fun, convenient base for your Dublin trip!

8.0 / 10.0

Great location

The room is spacious considering the space. Comfy enough beds, loved that the toilet with sink was seperate to main shower and sink, as this helped with amount of people in the room. Good sized mirror, bunk bed space is a cosy nook with curtain to pull across for privacy. Shop next door is perfect and overall a fantastic spot for short stay.

The staff signed us in on arrival. Then the night before check out they knocked on our doors after midnight (as we'd been out) asking for ID, confirming email addresses from booking and suggesting there was outstanding payment on the booking (which there wast). They not only checked with us but also our guests in another room as part of our booking. The staff were friendly but it just overshaddowed the stay and caused confusion, and anxiety where it wasnt needed. Noisy but to be expected and smell of chinese takeaway next door is STRONG.

Worst place I’ve ever stayed

Absolutely nothing I got scammed I paid for a private room with a private bathroom got the money taken from my account all of a sudden there is “maintenance issues” you obviously just sold the room on at a higher price and put us in the 4 bedroom dorm. The staff were all cheeky and didn’t want to listen or help me At all. Was also told when booking that there was a 24hour bar for guests. When I went for a drink at 2am I was told that it was a lie. Your staff ruined my experience and I will never be back again!! Was getting no help either of your staff about my refund until I asked about 12 times for email confirmation which still took longer than what it should have been

I’m not currently liking how long it’s taking for my refund to go back into my account

Terrible Experience -- Overbooked and Left Alone at Midnight

I booked and paid for this hostel just a couple of hours before arrival via Booking.com. When I arrived shortly before midnight, I was refused check-in because the hostel was overbooked. The staff took no responsibility for the situation. They did not offer any help in finding an alternative accommodation or provide any practical solution — they simply said they would refund me and told me to “find somewhere else yourself.” This left me stranded in Dublin at midnight with no place to stay. As a solo female traveler, this felt unsafe and unacceptable. A professional accommodation should have contingency plans for overbooking, especially late at night. I will never stay here again and would strongly advise others to avoid this hostel.

10.0 / 10.0

Price friendly and close to centre.

It’s close to centre and you’ll feel safe when walking alone as a solo traveller. This hostel is cleaner than the other hostel I’ve checked in. The toilet is clean and more spacious too. Staff were so nice and I like that they have a mini bar to stay if you got bored in your room. The cabinet for each person feels secure too.

None.

7.0 / 10.0

comfortable

Clean, hospitality of the staff and location

If I may offer a humble suggestion, it would be to consider paying for language storage, as I did in my experience. This option is available for 8 euros for six hours before checking in. It seems that the check-in and check-out times are quite far apart, at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., respectively. Perhaps it would be beneficial to consider checking in at 12 a.m. and checking out at 1 p.m., which would align more closely with the typical duration of a stay.

Luke and Ciaran went the extra mile to be kind and helpful and ensure that my stay was comfortable. Great customer service.

Great location and very clean but look out for the additional upcharge if you need the add-on

This hostel is located very conveniently in downtown Dublin and close to 2 big shopping centers, Jervis and ILAC. There are also a lot of restaurants around. If you just want to grab a quick bite, there are major supermarkets as well - Marks and Spencer / Dunnes / Tesco. Booked a double room with a city view and it was on the highest floor. The size of the room was comfortable and the view of the city from the room was great ! This was away from the dorm rooms, which could get a little noisy with the younger-aged group that was there during my stay. The bed was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is also a LUAS (tram) stop just a few steps away from the hostel and it is easy to get to Dublin Heuston Train Station. The Irish Rail is a great form of transport to get to the other major cities of Ireland.

The temperature of the shower - even though the shower is hot and the water pressure is great, the water could get cold all of a sudden then get hot again. Maybe the temperature regulator isn't working or there could be a water flow issue as I'm on the highest floor. Also, the room door cannot be locked from the inside. The explanation given was that this is due to fire safety, in case they need to open the door. Wonder how major hotels allows guests to lock their doors from the inside without it being a fire safety concern.

Good for one night but wouldn't have stayed longer.

Location was great, room was clean.

Check-in process of waiting in a huge queue to check yourself in. It seemed like everyone had a problem and needed assitance. Also check out time of 10am is not ideal.

6.0 / 10.0

Location great, rest not so much

The main advantage of this hostel is its location - 5 min walk to Temple Bar.

The rooms are actually really small. If you get the bed that is closest to the door, and you are for example packing your suitcase, you have to make space for anyone entering the room. The lockers in the room for bed 1&2 are actually very high, you cannot put your suitcase there and you have to store it under bed. Also the beds are uncomfortable and the ventilation is very loud working non stop.

Overpriced with no view / opening to outside

Central location

I just hated the room: dirty walls, cleaning every 3 days only, very small and NO view from the window (e.g. the window has a non-transparent film on it, you cannot open it neither) - basically living in a closed box. Very cold in the room since the A/C is blocked to a low temperature, staff cannot change it neither. Definitely does not worth the money you pay. I will not come back to this hotel and rather book a place on the south Dublin where the most sightseeings are.
