The staff were friendly and welcoming but it was a little far away from the shopping side of the bridge and other tourist attractions as dublin is deceptively larger than it looks. I think some organised activities would have made it a much more fun and interesting stay but it was clean and comfortable so there's nothing to complain about.

I thought Four Courts Hostel was a good hostel to stay in. It was pretty cheap and rooms were pretty clean. I didn't really have any problems and I stayed in 6-8 mixed dorm. The staff was very helpful and provided a lot of information for my friend and I. The only thing I didn't really like was the breakfast. I mean, it was free but it was just average. I'd also have to say that it was a bit difficult to mingle with others, though we went on a bar crawl and it was fun. Go on bar crawls!

I truly enjoyed my stay in this hostel. The reception is always staffed. Before your check in time you can leave ur suitcases in the luggage room. Breakfast is great, with a wide range from toast, cereals, milk, coffee, tea & chocolate. Toilets and shower rooms are properly cleaned. Each room is ensuite. Additional showers are fitted in the end of the corridor so you never hv to carry abt taking shower when urs is occupied. Kitchen got all cutlery, cooking utensils for u to use.

One of the better hostels I've stayed at. And the staff definitely deserves more than 5 stars. They were absolutely awesome, and really helped make my trip an amazingly memorable experience.

Four Courts is a good hostel with excellent staff and location in the marvellous city of Dublin.

The location was great and having a private room with en suite bathroom was perfect. I would say it would be nice to have wifi in the rooms but there wasn't really time for wifi since we were out having fun in Dublin! The free breakfast was great and the staff was so nice and fun. Such a great experience!!

Average for Atmosphere only because of the noise. I was suprised. Young people were very noisy at night even at 2.00 am !!

Great staff, most of them were quite helpful and very friendly. WiFi doesn't reach all of the rooms, so to use it you have to be in the main lobby area downstairs, but they have computers. The hostel is HUGE - the biggest one I've ever stayed in - so it's always busy, but it can make it feel a little less personal. The water in the showers was always hot, and everything was pretty clean (except the comforter on the beds). Laundry was broken and they ran out of bath towels on our second night.

This was our first experience with staying in a hostel and it took a bit to get used to sleeping in the same room with 14 other women but the place was clean with friendly staff and the beds were comfy enough. Will stay again.
