Paddy's Palace Dublin Reviews

It was damp, small, cramped, creaky beds and no pillow. The emergency exit light kept the room very bright as well. However, it was VERY reasonable and affordable. Plus the free shuttle to the airport made it totally worth it.

Need soap and cleaner bathrooms

Disgusting

Oh Paddy's... I was disappointed. Their tours are great, and they really do give a free tour if you stay two nights, free airport shuttle.. the whole bit. But the most important parts of the hostel experience are a little lacking. The bathrooms do not have hot water. You have to ring a doorbell to be let in the main door... and sometimes it take a while for anyone to come. The wii is weak and slow, and the kitchen is very small. It suited my need, but I wish I would have stayed elsewhere.

The rooms were insanely hot and the windows could not be opened, we were right next to the train and trolly, the cleanliness was lacking, the showers were boiling hot and the water term erasure could not be adjusted, the Internet didn't work even in the lobby, and the staff did not seem to have a handle on their jobs. I would never stay in paddys palace again.

The place is pretty good for the price, the main problem are the showers being wether too hot or too cold.

The majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful and were keen to give advice or help you out with directions/ideas etc. This was great. There was also a fair-sized kitchen. Mediocre breakfast HOWEVER....the wifi was entirely unreliable (when it DID work it stopped within 10 mins). The showers were either freezing cold or scalding hot. Noisy in rooms bc of trains. I would explore ALL other options before ever staying here again, despite the tempting (aka cheap) room prices....

The hostel itself its ok but the staff doensnt seen to have a clue of anything

Compared to other hostels I've stayed at, this was not as nice. The pillows were made of a thin layer of fluff and no one told us where anything (bathrooms, luggage room, kitchen, etc).

Basic accommodation in a great location. Free breakky is a bonus plus the free airport transfer was amazingly helpful and of course, FREE! Beds are average as are facilities but for the price, you can't go wrong for an overnight stay.

great value for money! Awesome location - possible to walk everywhere and especially close to Tempe Bar! Free Airport transfer and free amazing day trip, good breakfast (cereal and toast). The whole hostel is not new anymore, so kind of worn out, but everything is clean especially bath and beds. Definitely recommend it as long as you are not too noise sensitive as it is located at a big street and train station.

the water from the shower was awfully hot and there was no way to turn it down

The staff were friendly and the hostel is clean and the dorms are cheap but there was no hot water in the 4 showers on the top floor. I tried them all. A week later when I returned there was hot water coming out of the hot and cold taps at night, but in the morning, no hot water at all. They also lost my booking and I had to wait for 20 minutes while the one, poor, run-off-her-feet staff member checked in everyone else who had arrived.

No hot water one night, but kitchen facilities were great. Beds were clean and nice, wifi wasn't brilliant. Great location and handy shuttle bus.

Good for price but it was far too warm and stuffy. Like sleeping in a sauna and the windows don't open. Terrible nights sleep but if you're just looking for a place to rest for a night it's alright. Location is excellent

Wifi never worked, breakfast not as described online. Not a single little mirror in the room, just in one of the toilets. Who,e stay was ok to safe money. Would think an 8 bed dorm has one bathroom, but it is to share. Would be good to know online. On the web a clear map where hostels bus picks people up is missing. Was waiting at the right place but bus can still not be seen. I sent an email before I arrived that they would know, but that didnt help.

The beds were comfortable, with comforters and sheets. However, the bathrooms were subpar, with either cold or burning hot showers with no comfortable intermediate. The free breakfast was good, the airport shuttle saved us a lot of money. Overall not that glamorous, but good for a budget stay in Dublin.

No hot water for showers! The showers need to have a temperature tap so it's not freezing.

Not impressed, but location was the reason we selected this hostel.

The basement room we had was extremely cold. It was very noisy down there and there were always random people outside our door it made me feel a bit unsafe. The hostel was good otherwise because it included a free tour and an airport bus
