I loved this hostel! I stayed here and at Isaac's hostel and I much preferred this one. As a solo traveler it was much easier to meet people. The bathrooms are huge, spatious and very clean. Location couldn't be better, it's right across from Trinity. Also very quiet at night, unlike Barnacles hostel where you hear people vomiting outside all night long

Amazing location, good free tours of the city offered. Some of the staff were very helpful, others were not that knowledgeable, but everyone was very friendly. The rooms were clean, nice and bright, but the mattresses were horrible. I felt every single bed spring.. so be prepared or sleep on your duvet until they (hopefully) exchange them.. The breakfast was simple but plenty!

Close to the City Center and where the 747 bus drops you off from the airport. Wifi didn't work in the room, had to go to the common room/kitchen to get a signal. Staff were friendly, the room was basic but just what you need for a place to shower and lay your head.

I've never been to a hostel before that organizes small events every evening, like the cheese and wine tasting I experienced. As a solo traveler, it was a really great way to break the ice with the other hostel goers.

It had a pretty decent kitchen with attached hang out room. Beds and pillows were good, rooms were pretty spacious also with handy lockers under the beds. Staff was really good. And free breakfast. Is a good spot.

This place was great! Our room was fresh and clean and kept that way. The common room and kitchen were great too. Nice big clean space and the kitchen had everything u need to cook. Good atmosphere with people meeting and hanging out. Also had something free every night like dinner and ice cream which was amazing!! Great place. Definitely recommend

Location just perfect (2 minutes from Temple Bar, O'Connell's Bridge and Trinity College). Good Atmosphere and Value For Money. Of course this is a party hostel (quite noisy), perfect for groups of friends. Only 2 things disappointed me: bank beds were really unstable and there were any window curtain heavy enough to repair from the light. This was annoying.
