Loved my stay in a private room. Wonderfully scented soaps in the shower and a hair dryer too. Loved the Thursday night entertainment. World class artist: Sean Burgh of the band Stap. Nice towels and also cozy bed with a great view, desk and vanity. The bar/cafe was set up perfectly for socializing with other travelers. Also, it’s centrally located and 5 min walk to the best VEGAN food at Cornocopia. Temple Bar area is only a 5 min walk too. So was my tour meeting point. Loved this place!

You are bang in the city centre, a min from the Ha'penny bridge which gets you into the middle of Temple Bar. You can walk just about everywhere. We checked in online so skipped the queue at the hostel. Super easy. The bunks were clean, huge, comfy and had all you needed (light, plugs, hooks, shelf). The showers were boiling hot and great pressure. We stayed in a 12 bed dorm but slept well. There is construction that starts at 7.30 every morning 😭. Staff amazing, friendly, super kind.
