Tell customers whatever they are expected to find. Extremely small rooms without bathroom ( terrible common bathrooms) and no toilets functioning on the same level.

Good Morning Aurelia, Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you had problems with the bathrooms on your floor during your stay, however like all buildings we do from time to time have maintenance issues and during your stay we did have a problem with the bathrooms on the 4th floor. Our maintenance team closed off the bathrooms and dealt with the issue as quickly as possible. Extra bathrooms/showers are available on all of the other 3 floors which of course all guests can use. Thank you for your comments. Kind Regards Jennifer Farrell

All of us thought it is a nice hostel. It is actually my second stay there, I recommended it to my friends. However this time it was even noisier than last time. Especially one night where there was someone in the common room playing the guitar until well past 4 am which I think is well past the time when of the hostel employees should have shut that guy up. Let's just say it made for an uneasy night. Another thing I would love is for the breakfast to include proper coffee, not the instant one.

The hostel smelled terrible and it was dirty. It smelled like someone had never taken out the trash. The room for four guests is way too small. I would not take a shower there because the bathrooms were too dirty.

Good Morning Andrew, I am sorry if you felt our Hostel smelled. I can assure you all areas of our Hostel are cleaned daily, self catering kitchen cleaned twice daily and the bathrooms 3 times. Also our rubbish like all other city centre businesses are emptied very regularly. Thank you for your comments. Kind Regards Jennifer Farrell

I thought this was a very clean and safe hostel. The staff was helpful and nice. I just thought that it didn't have that vibe that drives you into meeting new people, since most of the guests I saw were concentrated on their laptops or on the computers the hostel offers. But it is a good value for money.

The single hostel smelled like a senior living home. I imagine its been trashed over the years but its still pretty brutal to deal with for a couple nights.

Good Morning Sammy, Thank you for your review. I have checked Room 115 were you stayed and I don't seem to get the smell you are describing. The room was freshly painted early on in 2012, and all other features are cleaned in the room daily. I appreciate you taking the time to write this review. Kind Regards Jennifer Farrell

One of my favorite hostels that I've stayed at in four months! The house has a great ambience and attracts many locals, which is a treat for travelers trying to have a more authentic experience. Great facilities, especially cute cafe/restaurant. Also in a fantastic location. I definitely recommend Avalon to any traveler in Dublin!
