Liked: We LOVED Kinlay House!!! The people at the front desk have the best customer service I've ever seen! The atmosphere reminded us of staying at the dorms in college and the location is cozy and perfect! We had a double twin room with private bathroom. The free internet was great, breakfast and the kitchen were better than at some of the hotels we stayed at and I was glad to know that our passports and money were secure in the safes because we were the only ones with the key. We will definately be back to Kinlay House the next time we visit Dublin, and highly recommend anyone to stay here!!!

Disliked: Showers are set on a timer so you have to push a button to keep the water running, which was inconvenient but no biggie, the hot water ran out once or twice and the windows let in some of the noise at night, but the front desk had ear plugs for us.

Liked: Everything!! The location could not be beaten, it was clean and very pleasant to actually spend time in unlike some other hostels for the same price. It was fantastic value for money and would definitely stay again when in Dublin. The pub crawl and advertised kareoke were great to enjoy Dublin in the few days I was there. Spot on!

Disliked: I can't think of anything too bad to say, only the water went everywhere in the bathroom which made it a challenge to find somewhere dry to stand afterwards! Very clean and pleasant though.

Liked: Everything. Honestly, I bokoed a 20 bed room and was a bit worried, but it is really well done so that you only feel as though you are in a 4 bed room. Love it!

Disliked: The showers. They didn't have the best pressure. But one can get over that!

Liked: It's located in the city center which makes sightseeing really easy. I loved the old building and the common room. Staff was really nice!

Disliked: Breakfast could be a bit better (more choice) and the showers and toilets were a bit disgusting at times. I accidentally took the wrong bed and they didn't tell me until I checked out. It would have been nice if they'd notified straight away in order to avoid the 5 euro fee.
