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 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.

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.

I loved the location because it was so easy to find no matter where in the city I was. Breakfast is very good, bathrooms are ensuite with additional toilets in the hallways which was very convenient. I just wish wifi wasnt exclusive to the common area. The common areas are nice though, one of the better hostels out there!

Two important points in which this hostel must improve: -wifi network probably can't handle everybody and because of that I stayed without internet connection in my phone during all my stay. They have 3 computers but this isn't enough when a lot of people can't use their own. -there's no electrical sockets near the beds. There's only 2 per room and like this you have to trust your room mates or stay in the bedroom until your electronics are completely charged.

There are two sockets at all of the bottom beds in the 8 bed dorm so that is 16 sockets. They are at the same height on the wall as the mattress but in fairness a little looking would have realized this. The wi-fi is the strongest that our current provide can supply. We are looking into another supplier but the current company should be strong enough. It depends on if people are just browsing on downloading. 200 people downloading will drain anyone's system....and possibly kill the internet...worldwide... and then you guys will just have to talk to each other...like in the 80's.

We stayed in the Four Courts Hostel for one night. Even though we had to walk a little bit longer from the City Center to the hostel than I had expected, I would definitely recommend it. We had a family room with four beds and there was plenty of space for all of us. Moreover everything was pretty tidy and comfortable. The next time I'll be in Dublin I will certainly check the availability of beds in the Four Courts Hostel. :)

Check-in time depends on which floor you are on as the housekeepers start on the 3rd floor and work down. They start at 10:30 which is check out time and finish around 2:30-3:00. Cheers for appreciating the breakfast!

Had a great time in Dublin. The hostel was great, and the staff was friendly. There were lots of large groups moving in and out.
