Kinlay House Dublin Reviews

Great, central location. Easy to walk to all the sites and close to Temple Bar. Friendly staff that can help with any questions and suggestions. Would definitely stay here again!

Friendly staff. We were also given free pizza for dinner and free breakfast. Value for money.

It would be nice to have a few other options for breakfast, boiled eggs or a piece of fruit. Being celiac I was unable to eat any of the food offered.

This was, in my opinion, an average hostel. Really expensive for what you get. Breakfast could be much better, with some more variety. The location is good, near temple bar and a short walk to the guinness brewery. If the prices are still expensive, I'd recommend somewhere else, but it is a good hostel overall. (Note: I lived in Dublin for many years and know there are cheaper options.)

I have never stayed in a hostel before so I wasn't expecting my stay to be as comfortable as it was in kinlay house. Staff were friendly and my overall experience was fantastic.

Was ok for a one night stop. Friendly personal, clean rooms!

Good place overall

Great vibe, nice location. Will stay here again next time I'm in Dublin

The only downside to this place was the Internet never worked all the time I was there and was a problem for everyone else it seems as well. But at the end of the day it was good fun and was comfy and clean, can't go wrong really.

The bathrooms look like prison bathrooms. And also no wifi in rooms. There was barely any wifi in the commons room. At least there were computers

Great location, and staff (for the most part) but security needs major improvement! Anyone could ring in, there were no lockers in the room, and you had to pay to use lockers in an unattached building next to the hostel. This was very frustrating.

First time staying in a hostel, other than in Doolin. The hostel manager was very helpful, and the staff dealing with my emails were very good, especially Andor!. In general, I thought the rooms would be "more solid" and better built. The walls seemed kind of flimsy. The bathroom was very small, and the shower got water all over the bathroom floor. I expected better built rooms, and bathrooms, More solid fixtures, and walls. etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Kinlay House. The staff recommended the best places to eat(sixty 6!) and some great activities that stretch beyond the confines of Temple Bar. They also had the guests' best interests in mind, taking care to work through wifi issues and rent out alarm clocks for a 3AM shuttle time to the airport. Thanks again for making this a memorable birthday weekend!

had an excellent stay and will be back :Dx

I found the hostel was too hot. They had radiators on in May and the breakfast was absolutely horrible. I came down with a cold after staying there due to the extreme heat. The room was literally steamed up. They need to ensure radiators are off in summer. This is unforgivable. I would never ever again stay there.

Great to have to rooms with tvs in them so people have a choice also kitchen opened to 11pm at night is great for late comers that would be hungry.

Kinlay House is awesome. The location is perfect for pretty much everything in Dublin. The actual hostel is clean, with a great staff to help at any time. The rooms and toilet are clean and just enough for a place to sleep. Definitely recommend!

I'd stay here again for sure. In fact I tried to book again as ill be back in Dublin next week but it was booked solid. The kitchen was well furnished, the place was clean and secure. One caution: apple products seem not to agree with the wifi.

great people, not sure if I like the cameras in the rooms though.

This Hostel was a great choice for what we were going for. There was a place by the front desk to lock up small things but not in our room. There were only 4 plugs to charge electronics in the 16 bed room. Also it can get a bit noisy with church bells and street noise but it's Temple Bar! Other than that, great spot! The staff were very helpful at all hours of the day and night, the location was perfect as it was a 7 min walk to the most popular street in temple bar. It's so close to EVERYTHING!
