Globetrotters/The Townhouse Reviews

Everything great for the budget except the showers. For a girl that could have caused major critic.

Cant speak highly enough of this place, friendly polite helpfull staff, lovely double bedroom with en-suite, great breakfast, great location and all at a great price A fantastic place to stay if your visiting Dublin

Staff were very helpful and the place was kept really clean. Really liked the locked drawers right under each bunk. The breakfast was the best I've had anywhere, in any hostel I've been to anywhere.

Had a great time . I definitely recommend it

Excellent rooms warm and clean Breakfast lovely Staff friendly Nice rear garden would recommend

Very nice hostel, wish there was lockable lockers in the room couldnt find a shared bathroom, we had 1 ensuite between 12 people

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed on!

Not such a great pick for winter -- it was fine as a place to sleep and everyone was pleasant enough and the breakfast is good, but the big selling point seems to be a garden. Without the garden, there was no real way to meet people (I stayed in a big dorm for 4 nights and had only one conversation the whole time). And lukewarm showers were a problem in the cold, even though the central heating was great. Also, while the decor added character, carpets are a bad idea for a hostel: they get dank.

Overall great experience. The only two things that could've been better: We had a private 4 bed room and the shower did not have any kind of border, only a curtain, so the water went everywhere which was a pain. Also, there's only wifi in the main common room which always has loud music playing and lots of talking so if you need quiet, you're probably going to have a hard time finding it. Other than that, everything was great.

The hostel has a great atmosphere and character, I really loved that! Breakfast is good as well, even if you don't like the typical Shottish breakfast. Sometimes there seems to be confusion about the booking of beds, since I had been given a bed that belonged to another girl in our dorm. After some confusion we could resolve the problem. All in all I would definitely book here again!

The dorms are a bit cramped, not really a lot of space for luggage, and it would've been nice to have power outlets by each bed for charging phones etc. That said, the hostel breakfast in my eyes makes up for it :) After being in so many hostels where the breakfast is white toast and cornflakes, getting a full Irish breakfast in the morning was brilliant. Well done!

Excellent value for money, great location and breakfast and helpful staff. We just missed a bar or central location in the hostel where you can meet other people and have a chat.

No locker in the room and the bathroom a bit sketchy but all the rest is perfect. Incredible kitchen, unforgettable breakfast, comfy beds and very nice staff. All that for a totally reasonable price ! A very good place to stay in Dublin, near the bus/train station and close enough from downtown and Temple Bar.

The staff treatment was abismal. A friend of mine had caused no trouble at all but to wait for me in the waiting room as i took a lukewarm shower on a disgusting cubicle floor. He was then told to leave (he had stayed the previous 5 nights and was treated like garbage as soon as he had checked out), and as i prevented him from arguing his rightful case against the bitter owners, i was evicted for no apparent reason. The fact that the police had to intervene for me to get my refund spoke volumes.

Location was very central. Staff was VERY VERY helpful! Room was clean and quiet.

Initially, the location was excellent, and the free breakfast added to the value. However, the fact that the toilets were dirty and the bedroom lights were automatically switched on and off at the convenience of the hostel was very irritating. Later on in my stay, i noticed a few other discrepancies. The breakfast staff had no regards to hygiene; for example one of them dropped a piece of toast onto the floor and thinking that nobody was looking, placed it back in the bread basket!

This hostel is situated close to Connelly Railway and bus stations. A very good location.

Wonderful place! Can't be better.

Our triple room was simply lovely. The value for money with our beautiful room and filling hot breakfast was amazing.

I don't have to say about this hostel. It was fantastic and the best hostel I've ever stayed!
