Nice hot shower, location good (if not amazing), fully equipped kitchen and stuff like salt available, coffee free, light and 2 plugs with each bed is nice. You have to pay extra for towels, no adapters to borrow, have to buy one for 5€, bad for environment and would be so much nicer for us and them to if you could just borrow or cheaply rent them. Wish it was cheaper or at least had everything included for that price, but i guess it‘s normal for dublin.

Staff are very helpful. Location wise it’s quite far, but walkable to the city center. The beds are quite nice and have full privacy when sleeping. If you’re coming after 10p make sure to contact the reception as they are not 24 hrs

Good hostel if you're looking for a homely vibe. A bit further out than other hostels but it's not a big deal. Still very close to everything you'll want to see in Dublin.
