Good location as close to bars, but not too close to hear the noises of the nightlife. Great place to meet people. Free breakfast was only toast though

I stayed over 2 nights in 6 persons mixed dorm + shared bathroom. Staff is great, helpful and friendly and location is good too expecially if you want to go out. There was no locker in our room but that wasn't a problem for me, since all the people I stayed with seemed to be nice and honest. In our room beds were not bunk beds, which was good, but Dublin in pretty noisy city and the cars and celebrating people might keep you awake. I was tired and slept well, all was good and I can recommend this hostel for everyone who can sleep when it's a bit noisy.

Great Place and Great Atmosphere. People are friendly and extremely helpfull. Located in a very good and nice area from all main attractions allowed me to visit them by walk and saved money. It is one of the best hostels I've ever been in and should I make Dublin another holiday destination, Kinlay House will be the hostel of choise.

This hostel was great fun! The staff were very helpful and ready to laugh. And the mix of people I met here was eclectic and fantastic personalities. I had a great stay, with lively evenings where I felt very welcome. The tours that were recommended to me were beautiful. I recommend staying here!

We had a great stay at Kinlay. We arrived late at night after an exhausting flight, and were greated by friendly (as well as very funny!) staff. They were always helpful as well as knowledgeable about getting around the city. Other accomodations such as the free Internet (likely part of the price) and TV lounges were great places to stay in touch with family as well as unwind. Kinlay is located in the heart of Dublin, although ask the employees for places to go that are "non-touristy." The lobby and downstairs lounge were packed with fliers and posters adversting the current goings-on in the city, so you never felt uninformed. As a note, be prepared for showers that are rather small, but always hot. I highly recommend Kinlay, and plan to stay there again when I return to Ireland for some backpacking.
