My sister and I stayed in the 6 female door. The room was absolutely cramped and disgusting. There were dead bugs on the walls and mold all over the place. This wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but it was pretty bad. As far as location this place was amazing. Walking distance or a short bus ride to anything you want to see in Dublin and to the airport or train terminal. Overall I would probably stay again, I just wish they wouldn't over pack rooms and that they would clean once in a while.

Friendly and helpful staff! Good location for walking around Dublin. Close to Temple Bar area with lots of good restaurants and nightlife. Had an excellent time!

The hostel was in a great location and you could walk to just about anywhere but it was far enough away from Templar Bar that you didn't get the noise. Staff was very helpful when we needed directions to places and even told us what bus to take and where to get on. Had a great time.

perfect location to avoid paying for public transit and enjoying dublin. my reservation got messed up somehow and the girl at the desk did everything she could to find us a place to stay which was their sister hostel Abigail's a 2 min walk away. they accommodated my friends and I by putting us all in the same room. old building but clean. good atmosphere. great security. need to rent a lock to use lockers. breakfast was all u need cereal, yogurt, toast, tea, coffee(allday) GREAT STAY! 100%

The hostel was good, the breakfast is really good, people were noisy in our room, but this happens in big rooms :) The computer didnt work in several days. I would recommend it!

Shower in the mixed 6 bedroom was superloud. i had a really bad conscience because i had to get up early in the morning and i imagine the noise wasn't that pleasant for my fellow guests.

The location was great. The staff members were most helpful overall, especially the lady staff. Unfortunately, Our 6 person room was not fit for more than 4 people. It was not much bigger than a closet. The hot water ran out after 2 people took a shower and everything there seemed out of order or broken down. I do not recommend this for handicapped people as it appears their elevator has been broken since 1975. The cost was pretty low, but I guess you get what you pay for.

The 18 bed room was full so it smelled a bit and it was hard to sleep as there was always people coming in and out. But you can get free ear-plugs in the reception and the breakfast is nice! The bathroom inside the room doesn't give much privacy, specially being a mixed dorm, but overall for 10€ a night it's totaly worthy!

Good location for walking around Dublin. Close to Temple Bar area with lots of good restaurants and nightlife. Not very clean... mold in the bathrooms and on the walls. But very helpful staff and a great free breakfast.

It would be better to check the rooms are empty before giving a key away. Within 3 nights it happened twice, we found customers ready to enter our room with our luggage in it.
