Prior to staying I have read many favorable reviews, I saw one or two that they didn't like the hardness of the bed or that they couldn't open the window further, a slow elevator or the cleanliness. This was not my experience at all my four bedroom dorm was immaculately kept. If you go when there are many groups leaving all at the same time of course the elevator could be slow but it was never my case. This is a fantastic place to stay centrally located to many of Dublin's main attractions , just a short walk over Bridge to be right in the middle of the Temple Bar District. This ideal location makes a fantastic base for exploring the beautiful city.
The buffet breakfast every morning was full with rotating choices in terms of food selections. For a small additional charge or as a standalone you could even have pancakes warm with strawberries or Nutella.
The staff exceedingly friendly and made accommodations for me if I needed something. A big shout out to Assad who is the manager of the groups for breakfast and also to Charlie the master mixologist who's designed the bars signature cocktails. With an ample seating downstairs and the corner that has a pool table many people will enjoy just to relax watch the footy on television and of course don't forget live music on Thursday and trivia on Friday. As I frequently stay in hostiles I must say that this is one of the best experience I have encountered.
Highly recommend
