This hostel has a great location with easy access to most attractions. Our stay, however, was underwhelming. We booked a twelve bed mixed dorm and we were placed in a room with ten men, which wouldn't have been an issue except for the bathroom - as the only female in the room, I was expected to shower behind a flimsy curtain in an area shared by the entire room and with no towel hook I could have been 'walked in on' naked . The hostel in general, and staff, did not feel very welcoming or secure.

Great location to everything in the city including Temple Bar, Bus Station, and Guinness Storehouse. Breakfast included with cereals, toast, and juices. Three computers with free internet are handy and the staff is very helpful with any inquiries about the city or transportation around the country. Rooms are clean and definitely worth the stay here.

The room was spacious enough, warm and clean. The kitchen was great, well furnished and big enough for several persons. Common spaces, also, were large. Free WIFI in the common room and 3 PCs available for free. The breakfast is good, the staff available and kind. The location is 5\10 walking mins to the very centre of the city. We'd stay here again.

Near Court House, not Temple Bar. Close to Train Station. Staff was friendly. Rooms were warm for winter weather. If you're looking for a bed and place to store your luggage, this is the perfect place. Free breakfast and internet were a plus.

The actual hostel was nice enough, especially for the price, but get ready to be abused by the staff! Not only did they lie about when we were allowed to check in, they were annoyed with our every question. We ended up waiting 4 hours for our beds to be ready! Check in is at 11, you should be ready for us at 11! Also, although we are college students, we are not stupid, so don't treat us so.

Owner Comment (Show)
There appears to be confusion regarding check in times so I will help clarify. Check out from the hostel is 10:30am and this is when the housekeepers start. All rooms are ready for check in by 3pm. The supervisor checks each floor as it is finished so Check in can be between 1pm and 3pm depending on the floor. Your statement that check in is 11am is incorrect and the staff member that checked you in was correct in his information. Your comment about lies is not warranted or appreciated by any of our staff. We went to college too...and had a great time. Cheers, All of the Four Courts Crew.

Bathroom was a little nasty (since it is shared by TWO 12-girl dormitory rooms) and breakfast is decidedly mediocre (only instant coffee, juice that tastes more like over-diluted Tang). The staff was super friendly though and the location was absolutely perfect. Also, the room was well heated.
