This is the second time we stayed in the Kinlay House Dublin (1st time was in 2004), and it was really good again. The next time we'll come to Dublin, we'll probably stay at the Kinlay House again. Thanks a lot, we enjoyed our stay!

The Kinlay House was a great Hostel to stay in. The staff was really nice, and it offered everything they said it would. Its only downfall that we saw was that our room was really cold. However, they give you a huge comforter and it wasnt a problem. The bathrooms arent the cleanest in the world, but what do you expect for a hostel? I highly highly recommend the Kinlay house, its in a great location and the atmosphere is awesome, plus a free breakfast!

Not a very good hostel, it just felt very uncomfortable... especially if you are in the 24 bed rooms. The bathrooms were small and the hostel was pretty dirty. The great location isn't worth the stay.

Super fantastic location. The bathroom sink was too small, and the shower could have been cleaner and with a better shower head. Great bed. Nice staff. Decent breakfast. Fantastic that they have 6 computers for internet access for guests.

Our roommates were very rude- we stayed in a 24 person room, however, the staff kindly took care of it and kicked them out. I really appreciated the helpfulness of the staff. It was a great stay, and the free Irish Dance lesson was a nice touch! So much fun- thanks!

Kinlay was great! Great location, fun people. The only ba dthing is that they don't have an age limit so there are a good number of weird middle aged men roaming by your bed constantly and staring at you. They also need to supply in room lockers. They only have small safe deposit boxes, in your room you just have to trust your roommates. Great overall though!
