Barnacles Temple Bar House Reviews

The kitchen was great! Able to cook anything I felt like it (saved some money) and whenever I wanted to make a new friend I just headed to the kitchen. Although the hostel could use a bar. Temple Bar has too many random people to be considered the hostel's bar.

was a nice stay, will keep the name in mind ^^

The rooms were really small and the bathrooms were iffy. The toilet in my room didn't work and the shower was really dirty. I loved the location and the staff was great. But its worth it to pay the extra money to stay in a room by your self or with fewer roommates.

Hello, it was very good and i hope i get the diposit back. I can recommend it.

The staff was very friendly, the rooms were comfortable and hostel was very clean! Excellent stay-will definitely recommend to anyone heading to dublin!

Excellent location. Right off the Temple Lane which has multiple large pubs located in the vicinity. Short walk to Guiness Storehouse and night clubs. Everything you need in a hostel.

I got a two person suite which turned out to be a very cramped room, hard mattresses and weak pillows, and a dirty bathroom. Upside: free towels to use, a mirror in room, and a small closet and drawer space. Relatively good price for its location to Dublin nightlife. Staff was not overly welcoming. Bad/no wifi.The breakfast was just toast - no paper plates or napkins and had to do own dishes which was a hassle. Choosing not to stay here again.

Fantastic to have such economical, comfortable accomodation right in the heart of Temple Bar. The staff were particularly friendly and accomodating. I'll definately pick Barnacles next time I'm back in Dublin.

Don't come here if sleep is important to you. The hostel is nosiy, but that is nothing compared to the noise from outside. The hostel is in an entertainment area with a lot of pubs and clubs with people out and about late making a lot of noise. Then you have the pubs cleaning up in the morning and staking all the empty metal kegs in the morning at 6am. Breakfast is very basic, just toast and coffee/juice.

this place was awsome, with great service and location. very helpful for first timers to dublin.

The front desk staff was helpful, but the breakfast was not very filling. It was only toast, coffee, and orange juice. You have to pay for towels as well which is not what the website said when I paid for this.

Had an awesome time here! Perfect if you want to meet people, have some fun going out and partying and have some quiet time either sleeping or relaxing in your room or chillout area. Kitchen is very big so if you're into cooking then you can do that as well.

It was amazing! Had an amazing time! The bed was really nice to sleep in! The location was excellent, right in the middle of everything! The staff was very helpful! One thing though, the showers could be a little cleaner :)

I understand that this is a larger hostel, but that is no excuse for the condition of the bathroom. It wasn't exactly dirty, but most hostels have cleaner bathrooms.

It was a good hostel. Wife and I stayed in a double room with a bathroom to ourselves. We only wish there was wifi available in the rooms... But there was a free breakfast, a nice clean kitchen and dining area, great location, and friendly staff.

Bathroom was broken the day i arrived, i told someone at the reception the following morning, they said maintenance would take care of it, ibut the toilet remained broken for the rest of the 3 days i stayed there, didnt help that drunk girl got sick in it and drunk guys kept peeing into it. Smelled bad. Other than that, met alot of cool people, very good location, big kitchen to hang out it and cook food in.

Excellent place, will definitely look to stay here again!

Great staff with great recommendations for anything from tours, to restaurants, to bars. always kind and willing to help!

will def stay here again. Blonde Irish girl on front desk very helpful nd smiling.Apleasure.I wish other hostels in dublin were as comfortable plus 15 mins free internet and breakfast fantastic value for money,

Great place to stay with a fabulous location and a warm and friendly staff who are always happy to help with almost anything ! Really clean and great rooms :) especially Daisy Ellis was really brilliant :)
