WOW. My first time in a Hostel and I am so impressed! I stayed in an all girls dorm and it was like having a girls night sleepover every night (I’m a chatty Kathy and love connecting with people). GREAT location and I bought a bike pass to get around the city. Easy check in and they have a small shop wall with items if you forget anything. HOT showers and massage level pressure. Didn’t try any food but the bar had a good selection and price. Staff is very friendly and prompt with requests.

Vibrant vibe, close to everything, but the dirtiest place we stayed in 2 weeks by far. Mold, grimy floors, broken toilet seat, gunk in all the edges and stuff coated on the curtains from a spill. The USB ports on the bed did not work. Staff was fine, we didn't interact much. I didn't like that they took all of our ID's into the back room to inspect. I felt that should have been done at the front desk. Set up of the building was fine and we felt safe, but the place was gross. I was happy the beds had clean sheets. Each bed had 1 small feather pillow that seemed to dissolve quickly. 4 of us all complained about the pillows. We paid $350 for 2 weekday nights in April, non holiday.

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.
