My only complaint was the cleanliness of the shower and bathroom floor. However, if you have sandals, this really shouldn't be an issue. Also, the one key to a room thing did not turn out to be an issue at all. At least, my room had a system for making sure everyone could get in and you didn't necessarily have to disturb anyone.

Really nice hostel, excelent location - near everything and in the middle of the famous pubs! Nice staff, nice wifi, all clean and good showers. Go for it, it's really good and not expensive at all. Breakfast simple, but with orange juice, chocolate, bread and jelly.

The quality/ price vote is only due to the higher price in st Patrick's day. I think that 50 euro each is Too much Also for this event... For the rest is still my favourite hostel. Friendly and clean as ever.. Thank you

Hostel was in an excellent location but we booked 2 6 man rooms between 12 of us and were giving a 12 man room and told we had to pay the same price. With no where else to stay due to a rugby match going on we has no choice but to stay there. I have emailed hostelworld to complain but 2 weeks on have still had no reply

Awesome location if you are there to party..right in Temple Bar. If you are not- I would't stay there. The rooms were very nice and clean and WARM for once- first hostel in a while where I actually slept well because the blankets were nice and beds comfortable. It was a bit weird that you don't get a key for the room...there is only ONE TO SHARE so you have to open the door for people all the time which was kind of annoying but I suppose more safe. It was a great hostel had a good experience!

Location is great. a little noisy sometimes but this is due to the bar which is part of the hostel. you really get value for your money.as every extra you ask for e.g. borrow a lock or a towel, does not cost you any money . furthermore, breakfast is included which is great. staff is very friendly too! i had a great (or do i have to say ‘grand‘) stay. i planned for two night and extended it with three more nights.
