The place where you can leave your luggage is just a common room. It's closed with keys by the owners, but everyone can ask for access and get your stuff if he want to. A little far from centre (15 min by feet). The double room is very big and confortable; it has got a table, a big wardrobe and a inner shower too. The kitchen is pretty big and works fine.

Well, the hostel was not that bad, I was expecting the worst after reading the comments in this website! Sure it is not the cleanest, fanciest, or best-located hostel, but it was the only one with spare rooms at the time I looked for accomodation (late, as always), and what I found was not as terrible as described here.

Like many others have mentioned, bed was literally springs with a sheet or two over it. We had to sleep on top of the comforter so that we wouldn't be bruised by the metal.

Location was great, Staff very friendly and helpful - we had a pick-up for the airport arranged easily. Walls were a little thin and the bathroom was ok, but some more places to hang clothes or put towels (we had a shared bathroom) would have been useful... overall good value for the money.

I am pretty sure our room wasn't cleaned before and the common kitchen wasn't so clean either. Unfortunately the staff was not really friendly and welcomening.

Very small room, beds weren't very comfortable, water ran for 5 minutes in the morning then wouldn't work, sink nor shower. Booked our room for check in at 3pm though weren't allowed into our room until 3.50pm as apparent;y it hadn't been cleaned yet. Not worth the money considering the generally unsatisfactory experience we had.

Definitely not the best choice. Very small rooms, not even a chair in a twin private. Descent breakfast, no fun, problems with wi-fi. Good location is the only advantage.

The staff were VERY rude. We were locked into a boiling hot room, after being threatened by a crazy woman. We phoned reception at least 20 times because we were so afraid that this crazy woman might have a weapon f sorts. There was NO response from reception even though we had seen somebody there a few minutes earlier. We were left out of the the room after 11 am on Sunday morning. It was a HUGE HUGE HUGE fire, health and safety issue. Thank God, none of us suffered with asthma . Terrible experi

Owner Comment (Show)
This people they came back to the room after a night out very late. They were making lot of noises in the room + his friends ( that they were in other rooms ) were going all the time to this room. They were disturbing other guest all night, we had many complains from this people, comments like they were very drunk, shouting, banging the doors + the broke the handle from the room. In the morning they couldn't leave the room because it wasn't handle ( which they broke ). I don't think it is very fare this comment. we don't need drunk people in this hostel.

Aside from the gentleman at the front desk who was very helpful this was VERY POOR I have stayed in a number of hostels throughout the world and this is not exactly the worst but certainly not good The private room was a triangle shape the bed filled the room when you opened the door it opened into the back of the bed The place was dirty and felt unsafe especially the lift my girlfriend was in tears and we dropped the keys back after an hour without getting our money back and going for a hotel

The room was not tidy or very clean . The mattress was very uncomfortable and clearly had big bends where it was so worn. The bed sheet had a hole in it and they didn't seem very freshly washed. You could hear people talking from the room opposite ours and above, plus the constant running water noise coming from outside our room too. Thankfully we only had one night here!

Quite rude staff speaking a very poor english, kinda a labyrinth getting to the room with narrow stairs, narrow beds. Not so close to the very downtown.

The staff wasn't very friendly, the bathrooms were the worst and if you would've slept on the floor it wouldn't make any difference to the beds, you could feel every single bedspring in the matress. For that much money i would expect more than that in a double room!

Very polite staff; located not in the very city center (15 min by walk from Temple Bar) but close to a couple of good nightclubs.
