Parking was a main motivating factor for staying here. The bathrooms and kitchens are cleaned often. The beds have a decent privacy curtain and the matress was really comfortable. Overall the place felt very secure. I was disapointed in breakfast and coffee options but its not a deal breaker. I would likely not stay here again because some of the other guests were at times not considerate in the sleeping area. Messy dishes getting left for several days and loud conversations or stumbling in while other are trying to sleep. I think managent did a decent job communicating expectations but thats the deal soemtimes with staying in shared spaces. I finished my trip in student housing that cost more but provided some privacy i was ready for.

The hostel was clean and the bed was so comfortable ( better than most places I have stayed). There was only 3 washrooms with showers on each floor for many ppl, so a bit of wait. The hostel seem like more a long term stay, so there were no activities, the staff were nice but didn't help with recommendations in area. The common area was small and limit seatings so not inviting. Couple of recommendations: add more chairs in rooms as you can't sit on lower bunk ( to short), a shelf in the bathroom would be helpful ( instead of having to put your stuff on the toliet or floor). Above, I like location ( cool neighborhood), its on the outside of "tourist area" which had cool bars, supermarket, and walkable to pretty much everywhere. If you like quiet, and a nice place to sleep, this is the place for you.

Walkable to everything. I would stay again because of that. Bring your own towel unless you want to pay 5 euros for a towel. Breakfast is simple everyday. It could of been better though. Cereal, apple, banana, toast, oranges, juice and coffee everyday. Nothing special.

The rooms were fine, but they have not enough bathrooms per floor, I often needed to wait or search for another one on the other floors. The kitchen/seating areas would be fine in general, but too small for the amount of people, so it felt stressful finding a place to sit or eat. But the laundry facilities are good and clean and the price is fair.

Perfect if you just need a place to stay and really want to explore outside. Walking distance to everything, up the block from Guinness factory, pleasant staff.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Curtains around bed are good. Could use a bath mat in the bathroom. Safe. Bring a small padlock.

Clean, accessible, friendly. I enjoy having 24 hour access to the kitchen and common areas. Roomy, comfy beds and convenient storage in the rooms. Fast elevator.

Fair location and a comfortable bed. Bit of a wait for bathrooms but the facilities were fine. Two plugs at the beds was good but could do with a basket or shelf to organise what was being charged, put glasses in etc.

Great stay. Problem is using the car park. They say you should ring a number to get out (once you’ve paid) however when we were in a hurry to get out and called the number they had no recollection of a code to get out. Reception should just give the code out to people who pay for the car parking option

This was a great place if you’re looking for somewhere quiet to stay. The surrounding area is very quaint and an awesome place to walk around. I felt safe as a female solo traveler. Public transportation is close by and the front desk was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

2 tiny shared bathrooms, 1 large handicap bathroom for 16 people. Storage cage under the bed was small and inconvenient. Building location was adequate, you had to walk about 20ish minutes to the city center for all the restaurants, attractions, shopping. Overall, was a little cramped and disliked the bathroom situation but would stay again. They did pretty well with their facility cleanliness.

I did not stay at this property because I could not find the property. The GPS directions were wrong. I tried calling the phone number that Expedia provided for the property and it was the wrong phone. There was NO address provided on the reservation confirmation. When I did a google search of the property name, I finally connected with the After Hours reception and received the property address. The location is in Dublin’s city centre in a neighborhood that only had street parking. I did not trust that the car rental would be safe parked in the street. Therefore, I ended up not staying at this property.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay in our private room! It was exceptionally clean with towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap, water, and tea/coffee in the room. We had plenty of space and the staff was incredibly kind. There were plenty of clean bathrooms so we never had to wait in lines despite being shared. We only stayed one night, but would have stayed more if we were in town longer!
