STAY HERE!! The staff were very helpful and friendly - even carried my girlfriends bag up to our room. Wifi was fast and free. Rooms were clean & showers were hot. Only down sides were the view- our room looked out over an abandoned lot that had a heap of rubbish in it. Also the noise - we could hear pub music & people very clearly until 5am (even on a sunday) with our windows & blinds closed. Obviously the view didnt bother us- only there to sleep, but the noise was an issue.

Great hostel! I got bumped up from a 12-bed dorm to a 6-bed dorm. Free breakfast and events each night that are all free except for the pub crawl. Clean with a decent kitchen and common areas. Not to mention, definitely one of the friendliest hostels I've been in; the staff and other guests were fun to chill with. My only complaint is that it was slightly far (for Dublin) from Temple Bar and that there were no lockers in the room. Otherwise, I highly recommend it!

The staff was one of the friendliest I was dealing with so far. The Hostel itself is located next to couple of night clubs, so perfectly located for night living people.

The hostel was fine and the staff was very nice. Unfortunately we were woken up both mornings by construction being done by the hostel both above us and putside pur window. This began at 8 am and we were given no warnung or notice. They did not discount or change our room.

In general, the stay was very nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There are little events every day that contribute to the nice atmosphere. The only negative thing is that in room 31 we stayed for one night you have an electric water pomp in the bathroom. Each time somebody's using water, the pomp will start. It is like an engine inside the room. Although that's the way many permanent apartments have been set up in Dublin, you may spare your guests of such experience.

Excellent staff. Friendly and helpful. We had a power outage and they fixed it the same morning. Beds are comfortable. Good home cooking, like the fireplace, fun tours for those who wish to join. A bit noisy from the street on the weekend but its workable. We have a private room and enjoyed that it had a private bathroom too.

The staff here is beyond superb; everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Standouts include the sharp-witted Frank, the definition of exuberance embodied by Nant, and the Jedi goddess known as Sani - all contribute to make this hostel a truly 'grand' experience. The facilities are average, but are currently undergoing renovation, and street noise can be a mild nuisance. Location-wise, a number of pubs and sights are within easy stumbling distance. Strongly recommended hostel.

I loved that there was an airport shuttle and that we got upgraded to a new room. The bathroom was the best I've seen in any hostel and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Plus the free landline calls meant I got to call my dad on his birthday, which made my night and his.

Just two minor complaints, the water pump was too noisy at night, and there should be more chairs at breakfast. Apart from that, everything was excelent.

there is a lot of noise during the night coming from outside or from other guests. Also, the rooms are pretty small.
