Oliver St. John Gogarty Reviews

Best location in Dublin, Temple Bar is the place to be. Next to Gogarty's Pub and you get a drink voucher.

Hostel was great, great location, rooms cute and comfortable, only complaint is that there was only one key to each room, so it was hard to get into the rooms at times.

This was a pretty standard hostel. Don't expect anything fancy. The single key per room (which we knew about beforehand because of reviews on this website) was a little bit annoying, but at least the rooms were locked. When no one was in the guest kitchen it smelled really, I had to leave the room (it smelled like stale dirty water). I was afraid to have breakfast there, but the breakfast is so simple (toast, fruit, coffee/tea and cereal) that I guess nothing from that could spoil.

We stayed at the Gogarty's for four nights. The location is awesome. The pub next door quite expensive and touristy but really nice. Most of the staff was really nice and helpful. We encountered one young lady who couldn't give us a restaurant recommendation. We had a private room with seperate bathroom. The bathroom was constantly dirty and the shower leaking. Really not nice to use at all. Kitchen facility was ok, the breakfast a little bit "cheap". The most anyoing thing was the noisy street

Ideal central location, free breakfast good with fresh fruit healthy option, very clean hostel, crisp linen and warm duvets , shower good and hot, t The reception staff are very efficient and also friendly, Very secure hostel with cctv , bars located very conveniently, one right next door, nice touch with free coffee tea in self catering kitchen, plus you can cook your own grub in self catering kitchen,

Very good hostel. Keep up the good work! Only the breakfast could be a little more extensive, but we liked our stay very much!

Hi! We really enjoyed our stay & will definetly come back! There are only 2 little things I want to inform you about: - the shower in our room didn't work properly. Nearly no water came out, & it was hard to regulate the temperature (either really hot, or really cold) - I think it would be a good idea to hand out more than 1 key per room. We weren't feeling comfortable when we came home late and the guy from the reception had to open our door so we wouldn't wake up our roommate ... Thanks

The hostel is really nice! The room was big enough, the shower was nice, although it wasn't very clean. Unfortunately the wi-fi sucks and does not work on the rooms. The best part is that the hostel has a really cool bar with music and the location couldn't be better!

very nice hostel with a good situation!

Wifi network works not so good :(

Excelent hostel, second time there with five years of difference, its perfect always clean and the Gogartys Pub, is the best one

Perfect location, great service, clean, awesome staff, and a free pint in the pub.. what else?!!! Also, the transport to the airport is easy, the bus stop is only a few steps away.

Have stayed numerous times and never had cause for complaint however his time the room was a lot dirtier, windows filthy huge gale blowing through in really bad weather, blinds missing from Window. Room was cold and only had one towel supplied for 4 people. Shower hardly worked and only ran hot water intermittently. After being cleaned there was still hair etc all over bathroom floor. Would not stay there again which is a shame as staff are friendly and the location is spot on!

Go on in this way

It is a good place to stay, well located in Temple Bar. The room was cold though but nothing to worry about.

I was in the hostel with 5 friends for a weekend. The location is really in the centre of Temple Bar. If you visit Dublin to make party in the evening the location is the best you will find. Also staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean, but for little money you get much value. Breakfast is small but tasty.

The hostel was cute and very clean, but I didn't like the one key per room and all the quest and the wifi never worked in our room.

This hostel is located in the middle of the Temple Bar area. This is a great hostel for when you plan to go out and party most the night and location is perfect for that as well but not good if you want to sleep. Rooms are VERY loud, unless you're drunk, then they're perfect. Facilities are average, some of the staff seemed annoyed being there, wifi only works on first two levels, beds and rooms were comfortable (outside of noise) and breakfast was average.

I stayed in a 4 bed dorm for one night. The bathroom was quite dirty and the room was very small but we thought ok for just one night. We went to bed and we knew that it will be loud outside cause the hostel in in the heart of temple bar. But after the pubs closed, the guys came into the hostel and they were very loud and screaming and singing all night till 5am. I was expecting noise outside but so much noise at this time inside the hostel is inadmissible!

A very nice hostel. The bedrooms are clean and the hostel have a good location. The staff are not so sympathy but they help you if you want.
