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.

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!

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

It was just an amazing stay. The location was really excellent, the breakfast was really a lot (and good!) and the staff helpful and kind. I was expecting a very scraffy tiny room but i've been so surprised when I walked in, it wasa very good double bed size, very clen and cosy. Definitely a plus that the room are all ensuite, spotless. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Great location and friendly staff. We had to leave early on the last day and the receptionist made us a light breakfast so we did not miss out, which is good!

This hostel (more like a hotel) is amazing in almost all respects. The double private room was beautiful and the bed was comfortable, and I really appreciated the personalized information about Dublin that was left for us to peruse. There was even a book of local short stories! The staff was charming and friendly, the decor was thoughtful and lovely. The only small improvement could have been more of a variety of breakfast options for vegetarians. Great place; I'd always recommend.

Staff were quite impressive, clean rooms, and the second time we stayed there they arranged a even better room for us! However I have to say we were in a double room with private bathroom, so I really don't know what's going on in the other rooms (shared).

The hostel was very nice and in the middle of the city. In the front of the hostel is a hook up for the airport. Also you need only 10 min by walk into the city. The breakfest in the hostel is very good compared to other one in dublin. I will book it again if I am in dublin!

This was one of the best hostels I have stayed in. The location is great and it has an overall charm that I have yet to experience in other hostels. The breakfast is great and filling, definitely a good way to start the day!

The Hostel is very nicely located, very close to O'Connell street, the staff is very friendly and they provided a delicious breakfast each morning. The rooms were very very gross. The bathrooms were dirty and had mold on the ceiling and the showers, there were no toilet seats and only one light in this big bathroom, so you couldn't see even if you wanted to take a shower. Also, there were drops of blood on my mattress and stains on the mattress pad. Because of that I would not recommend it.
