Kinlay House Dublin Reviews

Be prepared for family bookings, waking up to a family with multiple teenagers was a bit of a shock. But its cheap and good location.

The staff was a little sassy. The internet in one of the common rooms wasn't working, and even after I told them, it was not fixed. The breakfast was good. Location was excellent.

Install a camera at front door so that you can check the people's card before they enter the building!

Booked a room with en suite for me and my partner. I deliberately booked through Kinlay House website to ensure we didn't have a dorm but a room just for us. We ended up getting a 8 bed dorm, although nobody was in it, it was still bunk beds. One of the windows was broken on the outside, the bathroom didn't look that clean and to top it all off we had 2 pigeons in the room! the staff were all very helpful and did eventually get the pigeons out the window. The room was far too warm too.

Enjoyed three days in Dublin while staying at Kinlay House.

Great location near temple bar. The staff is friendly. One helped me book my Paddywagon tour since he used to work for them. The airlink bus stops in front of the hostel

Great location, friendly staff, great facilities, could definitely have been cleaner but we were only there for one night so for what we needed it was great. We were in the 20 bed mixed dorm and I liked that it was laid out so there were small compartments with two bunks in each for more privacy. The bar attached is a great little spot as well, the only thing I disliked was the luggage room was outside which was inconvenient but oh well!

All good as usual, have stayed here a few times for different events, location is great, good shower, free brekkie, staff were friendly, will stay again

I thought the staff were very nice and helpful. I thought this hostel was great value for Dublin.

The main thing going for this hostel is location -- it's right in the Temple Bar area, which is an incredible perk. Otherwise, it's pretty average and basic. You can definitely stay here and feel safe and clean, so if you want to stay in the Temple Bar area this might be a good choice. But be prepared for coed shared bathrooms on each hall!

Lovely place well located where to go out to explore the city at any stage of the day

good location. expensive. I don´t like to share the toilet. Noisy people, with party at night

Only downside would be the traffic noise.

good location, nice staff and facilities

We had a 6-bed dorm with bathroom included. Handy for the toilet but way too small to use with 6 persons. The showers in the hallway were much more comfortable (and clean as well). There was some misunderstanding about the towels, as on the website it's mentionned that it's included in the price of a dorm with bathroom, where the staff first didn't want to provide it. But overall, certainly considering the location, a good value/price balance.

The wi-fi signal was weak in our room (213)

The room was too small for 6 women with very little space for us to put our luggage or hooks for clothes. The mattress was a bit too hard as other hostels we stayed at had mattresses of the same size that were very comfortable.

The location was perfect. Facilities were basic but good. All you need in a hostel, but slightly pricier than I would expect for a hostel.

room too small, shower room cold!

It was really cold! In the bedroom and also in de living-room.
