The stay was good, it’s a loud party hostel but that should be obvious to those booking.

If you don’t like noise then ask for a higher floor. Lots of young vibrant people.

Room was clean but staff was not very responsive. Our flight was cancelled day of and I messaged and tried to call multiple times with no response. When we arrived a day later (after completing pre-check in on time, paying ahead, and messaging to let them know we were still coming) they had given our room away. There was another room available thankfully, but we definitely got lucky. Overall not a bad stay, but not the most hospitable either.

Good location and cheap for Dublin area. Bathroom was a bit dirty but still usable. Sleeping was fine and reception is 24/7 so really helpful. Area is safe. There's a bar in the ground floor..great for sports and food. Also right next to jameson distillery tour! Would come again as a solo traveller.

Par for the course you’ll get a snorer or two and drunkards outside that will wake you up, but the random fire alarms at 4 am days in a row were a nice touch 👌

Front staff was very unfriendly and curt. Never saw any of them smile once and they exuded a "put out to be there" attitude that made me feel unwelcome except I saw they did this to everyone. For a hostel, things were expensive here even by Dublin standards, especially the bar and games they offer.

On the bright side: the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately this didnt keep me from having a bad sleep caused by the extremely noisy doors that were constantly opened and banged closed during the night. I also wish i had been notified in advance that you werent allowed to bring any type of food stuff into the hostel. Not even an apple.

Booked a bed in a four-person room and luckily I was the only one there for the night. Property is very noisy—you could hear music from the ground floor three floors up. Sheets weren't too clean, and bathroom was a bit grotty. Did not sleep well.
