I arrive in Dublin, the whole city is booked out because of the concert and this hostel has closed down. I am very dissapointed that neither the hostel or yourselves let me know before arriving in Dublin. I spent most of the day trying to locate somewhere to stay for the evening. Suffice to say my word of mouth feedback for fellow travellers about your site and this hostel has not been good.

Well, the hostel closed down a day after we checked in and the company kept the deposit I had paid to book it online. So, I am not very pleased by this since they put us up in another hostel with unfriendly staff (the international youth hostel in Mountjoy street). I wish I had stayed in Dublin City Bunkhouse because it looked like the best deal in Dublin (with regards to cleanliness and staff) and it had mixed dorms as well, so this was really cool.Well, the hostel closed down a day after we checked in and the company kept the deposit I had paid to book it online.

Your doors were closed during our stay in Dublin so unfortunately I have to give a poor rating for the inconvenience caused and since I am forced to fill in all fields. I am pleased that you found other accommodations for my group though.

I had a very bad experience becaouse of the room mates. 16 bed, I think 10 of the people didn´t get any education in their life time. There was a cuple really annoying. The best, the guy @ reception @ morning, the breakfast lady and the extra bacon and egs just fot one euro.I had a very bad experience becaouse of the room mates. 16 bed, I think 10 of the people didn´t get any education in their life time.

Friendly staff and clean. You have the choice to eat a continental breakfast or an english breakfast for 1 € extra. It's near the city, you can go out and come back to the hostel witout problems all night.Friendly staff and clean.

This place was really reallly nice. the bathrooms were a bit dirty and some taps were broken and toilets didnt flush. Our room also didnt lock after the first night. But all in all, it was really fun and i had a great time!This place was really reallly nice. the bathrooms were a bit dirty and some taps were broken and toilets didnt flush.

Although located in what feels like a slightly sketchy neighborhood, it is great for getting to the important sites in Dublin and easy from the airport. The staff was really helpful and nice. The first night they did put us (a mixed group) in an all male room, but they were changing it over. Overall, we rather enjoyed our stay.Although located in what feels like a slightly sketchy neighborhood, it is great for getting to the important sites in Dublin and easy from the airport.

Kieth, Peter, and Sam are great guys. Very helpful in suggesting activities. Also very fun to party with. The daily breakfast for one euro was excellent. They need to put soap and paper towels in the bathrooms, so people can wash their hands. They should also encourage a little more hostel unity, so all the travelers can get to know each other.Kieth, Peter, and Sam are great guys. Very helpful in suggesting activities.

The room I was in overlooked the smoking area in the centre of the building. You could hear people chatting til very late - even with the windows shut which was pretty annoying. But apart from that everything was good.The room I was in overlooked the smoking area in the centre of the building.
