Clean, friendly and very convenient to the bus and train stations. Breakfast was a bit lean - I think Jacob's used to offer fruit. Muesli would be a healthier option than cornflakes, but the Irish wheaten bread was good

The hostel was a really nice place right near the bus station and the Metro/Dart station a few mins walk fro O'Connell street, The Breakfast was excellent, Staff friendly and helpful. For those of you who are not aware, Everything in Dublin is Very Very Expensive, I would stay here again

Although ensuite bathrooms are great in theory, having to listen to people use the bathroom (including spewing) late at night is not something I would want to do again in a shared room. The hostel was drab and the layout not friendly in terms of moving around and meeting people with ease. No staff on the reception were helpful at all to the point of me being absolutely frustrated and flabbergasted as to why they wouldn't know about the bus to the airport - or maybe they did and didn't actually care because they certainly gave off that vibe! It would be a good place to stay if you were constantly out in Dublin and used it only as somewhere to sleep. Next time I'll be staying in somewhere less like a modern homeless shelter.

Modern and clean, this hostel gets everything a traveller needs ! I was surprised at first when I saw how big it was, but the security that is provided with magnetic cards, luggage room, etc... is really great. The TV/leisure rooms are very good, the toilets/showers are numerous and kept clean... What can I say more ? I really liked my stay here, feeling good and secure.
