Very nice location, close to Temple Bar and the center. Quiet during the week, but more noisy during the week end (a lot of people and music from the pub downstairs until 2h30 am). But it wasn't really annoying, we could sleep well without problems. The best is to enjoy Guinness well before sleeping ;-) Good breakfast, and good beds. I recommend it!!

the bathroom was lovely with a really powerful shower, the staff were really friendly and helpful and it was a chilled out relaxed atmosphere. There was even a flat screen tv in are room which was a real bonus! It was quite at night so managed to sleep well. on the downside the floor was very dusty (especially underneath the bed, this seriously needed cleaning!) and there were absolutely no hooks so no where to put coats and towels- make sure you bring hangers and a mirror!

Liked: 1) staff: very friendly and helpful; 2) Kitchen: just perfect; 3) Location: unbeatable Not so good: 1) noise isolation in my room (29) was very poor: I wanted to close the window the decrease the noise from the street when I realized it was already closed...I could hardly sleep on saturday night 2. Poor room furniture: 4 beds...and only 1 chair (a table would make it better) 3. Shower: water preasure was great, but temperature control was broken... fortunately it was in the hot side (although scalding!)

The kitchen over there is very helpful because u save a lot of money and don't have to eat junk. And they have everything! Pots, pans, microwaves, washmachines, fridges... The breakfast is quite good for the money we pay.

clean, friendly, helpful staff. big kitchen, no oven though. No common room which made the kitchen very busy most of the time. walls very thin so could hear others in the corridors and floor above, made it difficult for me to sleep.

It's location in the city was good but sleeping accommodation is over a 3 floored pub so its noisy until the early hours of the morning.

Fantastic location & great facilities! One of the nicest hostels I've stayed in thus far. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The free wi-fi was not reliable though.

This was the first even hostel I have stayed in, and its by far the best experience I could have had. I stayed for 5 nights, and I was able to meet a ton of different people from all over the world. The staff is great, and willing to help you with anything. There is a full working kitchen for people like me on a budget where i can't eat out every night. When they say they are in the heart of Dublin, they weren't kidding. Looking out any of the windows you can see trinity college. Its very close to everything, and the staff helps you out big time with suggestions of where to go. The hostel in general was very clean and tidy, which is great when your sharing a room with 9 others. All in all, I would recommend this hostel to anyone whose looking for an affordable and fun place to stay while your exploring Dublin.

The hostel is great, very new and clean--the cleaners come every day, so the bathrooms are always nice. The internet is fast, the beds are comfortable with crisp white linens, the kitchen is fantastic, and the staff is exceptionally nice and friendly. The only negatives were the terrible laundry (my clothes didn't wash OR dry properly despite repeated attempts by me and the staff) and the lack of a common room. The kitchen is a nice place, but it closes at 10--no place to go after that besides the rooms.

Friendly staff, good kitchen facilities, no lift and long walk to access rooms - nearly 100 stairs to get to rooms on top floor. Clean simple rooms. Located close to main attractions but on busy street which can be noisy.
