Paddy's Palace Dublin Reviews

The room was not ensuite (as paid), and there where only two bathrooms on the floor. Staff was friendly but didn't inform us where to wait for the bus to the airport, so we nearly missed it. But the location is great for venturing into Dublin or taking a bus from Busaras in the mornung if one doesn't mind the noise of the trains at night.

everything was perfect except the water for shower that was very hot and you could not tern it to cold.big problem

A good hostel and definite value for money at only €10 a night. The breakfast was basic but good for being free. Rooms were nice and big which is always nice. The only thing that we disliked was that everytime we wanted to get into our building we had to get someone out from reception which was really annoying especially when they were busy and it was cold outside. It was also quite annoying when it was busy and they only had one person on reception. Otherwise it was a good stay.

I was in a very small 4 bed dorm. there was no way of opening the windows and on a very hot day in Ireland the heating was still on. My room was like a sauna, I asked FIVE times for the staff to please turn the heating off in my room as it was going to be impossible to sleep in there at night. I had a shower one morning and there was no hot water. I then had a shower the next morning and it was too boiling hot to get into.

The location is a bit away from town center but the farthest things are only about a half hour walk. Don't ask the front desk for sightseeing suggestions because we wasted a lot of time on stupid stuff. Luggage storage was useful, but you had to carry everything down a flight of stairs. To get to the rooms, you have to go outside from the registration office and ring a bell, and wait.

The whole setup of the place with separate quarters, no lockers in rooms, just a general grungy hostel worst I have been to so far however the paddy palace in Belfast was even worse.

I just booked this because of the free ride to the airport and it was all I expected.. not that good. The whole time I was there the staff were talking loudly about how a wallet was stolen. They have to let you in everytime which is a good thing for security but the door wouldn't latch half the time. I rushed out whenever I had to and rushed back to my stuff so nothing was stolen. Right in the centre which is good. If you want a cheap night and a ride to the airport- all good.

Easy place to stay because of the free shuttle to/from the airport and the starting point for all the tours. Friendly staff, breakfast was cereals, toast, tea, coffee, nothing posh but totally satisfactory. Only comment about security is the lockers are located in reception not in the rooms, just means if u want ur things you have to go over there.

Cheap and nasty. After I arrived and checked in, I was told the building I was staying in had a broken door. This meant every time I wanted to leave the building and re-enter the building, I had to get a staff member to walk me to the building to let me in. When I stayed, it had been broken for at least 10 days with no sign of it being fixed. Upon walking into my building, the overwhelming smell of urine slaps you in the face to the point where you can nearly taste it. Look elsewhere.

I wasnt to happy on room security. I stayed in 16, and the second door was always left open. I dont believe this has anything to do with the hostel staff so much as it does to the other girls in my room, but maybe it should be permentely locked as i see no point to it. I liked the overall atmosphere and the walking tour was fantastic. I am glad i was informed about that!

Bathrooms wasn't clean, the blankets wasn't smelling good, ths staff was ok but give not so much informations. End the day tour was very bad, we just stay in bus all day long :(

Really great price, not too far walk from central dublin and right by the bus station. The free airport bus is great too. It's not the most social hostel but good if you just need a clean bed for the night.

The free tour was very good, but that was about the only great thing about this hostel (besides free airport transport). The only "common" area is the reception so there is no room to get to know other guests. The showers were absolutely terrible, as water was way too hot and you cannot change the temperature. The room was small and packed, and on the first night me and my friend had to sleep in different dorms even though we booked together, and we heard that there were lots of empty dorms.

We stayed in an 8 bed mixed dorm, which was fine, but so cramped. WE felt like we were almost sleeping on top of each other, and when new people arrived, there was always confusion about which beds were free etc. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. Good kitchen. Lockers can be hired to store your valuables, for 5 euros key deposit. Breakfast was good. The staff were super helpful. We took advantage of the free day tour to Kilkenny, and found it to be fantastic. Great location!

Hi, I really enjoy the stay with you my prays and best wishes with you/ Regards Sartaj

This was the worst hostel i ever lived in

There's a good kitchen and free rides to the airport. But my friend's backpack was stolen out of our room, the sketchy staff was totally unhelpful, they refused to look at the security tapes. The security is terrible. Four of us got one key that hardly ever worked. Anyone on the street can get in where the rooms are. Room was boiling hot and the shower was unbearable. Never saw same staff worker twice. Cleaning people come in while you're in bed. Go for heartache.

a fee for credit card payment, couldn't understand why it is necessary - and unfair in today's payment atmosphere.

Paddy's Palace in Dublin was great! We loved the people and the hostel. We also booked a tour of Ireland through Paddy's that was incredible. Whenever we come back to Ireland, we will make sure to stay at a Paddy's hostel!

I loved Paddy's Palace and would definitely go back!
