Oliver St. John Gogarty Reviews

Very happy with my stay. I mostly picked this hostel for the location and its 'no curfew' selling point. My only criticism is that the hostel should have more than one key per room, so late returners don't have to wake up other guests to let them in.

the hostel was quite the young female girl that checked me in was very helpful but the only problem i had was that they were giving straw hats out during my stay which i requested one a few times but did not get one on return to hostel at appox 1am from slane i asked again could i have one but the night receptionist refused to give me one

Parking difficult to find and cost 6 euros per night if validated. If not validated the price was 36 euros. Staff rude and unhelpful. Rooms very loud because of being a part of a bar. People were yelling in the alley under window at 3:00 am. Street lights shining in windows with no curtins. Showers kept going from hot to cold, would not keep a steady temperature in evening. In morning shower was better.

Very nice and convenient hostel.

Very nice girl on reception on check in!!

Very very good value but the beds were a little hard . All in all a brilliant stay though

Rogan at the front desk was amazingly helpful and friendly.

Great staff! Perfect location! Had a great time!

Really good stay- included bfast was great, room smelt clean & fresh, lovely staff and fab location.

Friendly and helpful staff, good clean room with decent ensuite, great location and great pub below. All round great, will definitely use again for next trip in Dublin.

The location was great. Staff was very helpfull to help you with anything The rooms are oke but the breakfast was very poor.

I had a good time. Great location. I wish I had spent more time actually at the hostel to enjoy it more. Thanks, the front desk staff was delightful.

the hostel was in a great location near all the bars, the facilities were basic and cleaned once a day. the breakfast was good. the one down side was getting things sorted out as we were passed from one receptionist to next without any of our questions been answered which lead to a staff member coming into our private bedroom in the early morning unannounced!

Fantastic location and good value for money. As a taller person (6'2") the bed in the dorm room was too short, resulting in my legs hanging over the barrier uncomfortably. Everything else was as expected, breakfast was decent, room was clean, bathrooms were good, hot water was constant. As it's located above a pub in the center of Temple Barr there was noise but that was to be expected. If you want a quieter night you need to be outside the main party area.

Best Hostel in Temple Bar Area. Very helpful staff.

This hostel was fantastic! It was cheap, clean and was situated In a great location, best hostel I have stayed in. 9/10

Great location, right at the heart of Temple Bar so there is always something going on. Can be very loud at nights due to location above a pub - our room looked out onto the outside seating area which was busy 24/7. Short walk to Trinity College, Grafton Street and many other must sees. Staff were friendly and helpful giving directions and advice on buses etc. Generally a good party atmosphere at Gogartys, so good for big group but it's not somewhere for a quiet weekend away!

Gogarty's was pretty basic for what we were paying. There is no way we would have showered there. It was disgusting. The breakfast was decent, and the staff were really nice. The hostel is right above a crazy busy bar that doesn't close until 2 am, so don't plan on getting good sleep there; we did sleep well, but we were incredibly tired. The restaurant, however, is AMAZING. The atmosphere there is generally really friendly and cool.

We loved this hostel. Staff was helpful abd beds were warm. The only thing that we did not like about your hostel was the one key. I was woken up more than once from my roommate pounding on my door. It is rediculous to expect 6 strangers to share one key. On the other hand thank you for the free breakfast. I really apperciated having fruit on the menu.

Worst hostel I've ever been in. The people at the front desk were very helpful, especially Anne Marie. She was amazing! But the physical plant was simply terrible. You are greeted with a stink of rotting beer when you walk in the entrance. The whole place is cramped and claustrophobic. The internet was down for two days. The TV was broken the whole three days. The blinds in my room were also broken. Also, beware of fake reviews. No way this should get an 86% rating.
