I checked in and a guy was working on the room&the bathroom. Then, the cleaner came in. Bathroom didn't seem clean, no soap either to wash your hands.

No curtains, the lockers are metal crates that you’ll need a padlock for. My, and a girl in my same room, had our passports stolen and I blame these crates. I had it in my backpack locked in the crate, but to be honest I could see how someone would’ve figured out a way to slightly open the crate and get to it. All in all, not very secure arrangements and being by Temple Bar puts you in a bit of sketchy area.

Hostelworld says

We?ve been working with Oliver St John Gogarty for over a decade and we think they?re a great place to stay if you?re looking to explore Temple Bar. You can cook dinner in the kitchen or pick from the Irish menu at their restaurant or bar downstairs, where there?s live trad music every night. Our users frequently remark on the quality of their free continental breakfast, as well as how family- and group-friendly the hostel is.
