 Customer Review  -  13 February 2010

The staff is okay and friendly but the living room is dirty i really remembered that i saw a big mouse running in the living room. how terrible

 Customer Review  -  20 November 2009

The hostel was alright, not the cleanest one i've ever seen. But that's what you get when you pay so little. The lockout between 11 and 14 couldn't really bother me, nor the recharging of the passes, it's really quite simple and only takes a second.

 Jane Bennett  -  10 November 2009

Great location, just got off the bus and was there in the city centre. Bathrooms were pretty unclean. And the male and female bathrooms were on different floors which was a bit of a pain. But overall was worth staying there just for the location!

Stayed in a CRAMPED dorm with a dozen others. The halls are noisy all night, the keys to the rooms don't always work. "breakfast" is white bread and butter with tea. at least they provided sheets. probably wouldn't stay here again.

Location of this hostel is really good, it's within a walking distrance from everything. Showers and toilets were surprisingly clean, and there was hot water 24/7 as promised. In our room the lock happened to be broken, but it didn't cause any problems because the staff kept our stuff in the reception whenever we went out. There is no lockers in this hostel, but they do have a locked luggage room. The luggage room is not supervised, though, you get the key from reception and that way you could take whatever you want from there. We kept all our valuables we us all the time (didn't travel with laptops), so we were fine. The staff does say, though, that it is possible to leave all the valuables in the reception where there is someone 24/7. The breakfast consists of toast and jam, but at least it's free! Breakfast ends at 10 am and everyone has to get out of the hostel between 11 am and 2 pm, so if you want to party hard every night, you might want to reconsider. For us it was perfectly fine to get out at 11 am to go and explore the city! All in all, very much worth the (little) money, I would definitely stay there again!

It was close to the Spire, so it was easy to get to and find your way back to it regardless of where you were in the city. But the bathrooms were dirty, all there was for breakfast was bread, milk and jam. We were also told later that it is on the edge of one of the worst areas in Dublin. If youre in a group its manageable, but i dont know if i would go alone.
