Liked: It's an excellent location, near Temple Bar and the city centre. The rooms are quiet and big and the beds are comfortable. There is free wifi and breakfast.

Liked: This was the second time I have stayed in this hostel as the staff are friendly, the location is central and the rooms are clean. Would definitely stay here again.

12 December 2011

Liked: The location within Dublin was good and the staff were all very helpful with my inquiries.

Disliked: The hostel is located on top of a roaring bar, which means it is VERY loud when trying to sleep. The beds are absolutely ancient with the springs almost poking out. It was also generally grimy, and no Wifi in the rooms.

23 November 2011 Sadie would recommend this property

Liked: It is very spacious and clean, the lobby has hundreds of discounted things for you to do, and a homemade book of free things to do as well, and everynight they have a free hostel event such as "cheese and wine night" or "icecream and biscuits". The kitchen was always bustling with friendly people cooking dinner, and there was plenty of space for everywhere with couches and tvs. The showers have the best water pressure I've ever seen in a hostel, and even the bathroom has tons of room.

Disliked: There was only one bathroom for 10 people, but it honestly didn't bother me much at all.

11 November 2011 Caitlin would recommend this property

Liked: It is next to Trinity College so easy to find, just head for any Trinity College signs. Probably best to book the tours that leave from hostel because at least you know they will be on time unlike the one I booked with another company (because I did not want to see the farm on the one offered at the Times) and this company had incorrect times on their website. Next time would book the tour with that picks up at the Times.

Disliked: Slow internet, though that seemed to be the case at most Hostels in the UK. So frustrating!

Disliked: There was only one bathroom for 12 people in our room.

02 September 2011 Geoffrey would recommend this property

Liked: We stayed for 2 nights in a double private room. We were checked in by Brig who was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was basic but a fair size and clean. Breakfast was basic (cereal, toast & juice) but good enough to start the day. The hostel offers free events each day such as a free dinner on Wednesdays which we were there for and the food was great. We did the free walking tour they advertised and it was also excellent. Very happy with the accommodation and would stay again.

Disliked: Nothing.
