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.

3rd time I've stayed there & would not consider staying anywhere else in Dublin. Fantastic location in the heart of Temple Bar & ensuite facilities a class above any other hostel I've stayed in. Excellent value for money with a free pint in to boot!

The one key per room situation was a bit annoying, especially when people came back late at night and needed to get into the room.

Overall our stay here was great. The location is fantastic, within walking distance of heaps of bars, food and attractions. Obviously the key system is seriously inconvenient, but if you know the other people in your room it's much less of an issue. It's can get pretty rowdy at the bar over the weekend so if you're after good sleep this probably isn't the place for you. Also, the Suffolk st tourist centre nearby is really great. Can't emphasize how good the location is!

I really did not like this hostel. You do not get a key for your room. There is one key for the room that is shared among occupants. If the key is not there you have to knock on the door and wait for someone to let you in, whether is 1pm or 4am. When i came back from a night out at 5:30am the door was open. The rooms are exceptionally unsecure and i didn't feel safe staying there.

If there are about 8 people in one room, the bathroom should be cleaned more often. And there should be way more showers for so many people...

Everything was good, especially the location. My only complain is the wiring signal was terrible, but there is a Starbucks about 3 minutes away so it wasn't a huge issue
