Perfect location, friendly and helpful staff, common room. I'd definitely stay at Barnacles again!

A breakfast comprising of toast and juice was a bit miserly! Coffee machine out of order + no cereal. Wud pay a couple of euro more for a decent breakfast!

Brilliant location right in Temple Bar! Pretty standard rooms but nice all the same. Was only there one night so didn't use the common room but it was a very nice set up with lounges, tv, and a dvd collection at reception.

You can't beat the location, perfect for going out in the Temple Bar area, well recommended for that reason if you are only there for a short weekend. A typical large hostel in terms of social level, not too easy to meet people, but then again I was only there for 1 night!

Right beside the temple bar street which is a lot of fun. If you are here to party and are looking for somewhere cheap to stay then this is a brilliant place for it.
