Liked: Its winning ticket is that it is in the best location. You get your moneys worth everywhere else...the place is clean, beds are comfy, the storage under the bed is semi secure, the room is safe but dorms have 12 or so people. The breakfast is cereal and toast, better than others i have had. Dont know if there are too many hostel activities, i did my own thing. But you can cook here, theres a big kitchen and a few areas to hang out.

Disliked: This was my first time i stayed in a 12 bed dorm. Woah. It gets pretty messy in the girls one. You notice people coming and going more so. But eh, you'd expect that.

Liked: the location was great, it was clean and comfortable.

Disliked: The room was pretty small. The window was on the street side, so we had to close it during the night, because of the noise. Therefore it got really hot and stuffy in the morning.

05 September 2011 Daniel would recommend this property

Liked: We had the 'twin room' which was a flat separate from the hostel. From the street, Bachalor's Walk, you enter a building then through to a big shared garden which you pass through to the other building. It's private enough, dead central, cheap considering you get a washer/dryer, full kitchen with fridge, pots & pans and anything else you can imagine needing. Decent bathroom and living room with sofa and a balcony onto the backstreet.

Disliked: The backstreet which the balcony is over-top of is noisy late into the night with some junkie types out there. Not a problem the first night as we were out late ourselves but the next night it was a bit too rowdy to get a decent sleep.

Liked: The pillows were nice and it was in a great location.

Disliked: The property was FREEZING and it was kind of run down. It looked like they were trying to renovate it. The property didn't feel welcoming. LIke I said, it was really cold and it was expensive for what it was. The internet was down almost the entire time we were there. We had to go to another hostel to use the internet.

Liked: Location is fantastic, dorm rooms have a shower, toilet and 2 sinks in them which is really useful. Not very noisy (what you would expect from a hostel) and lots of amenities including large kitchen.

Disliked: There weren't sufficient locks for under bed storage, but the hostel were accommodating about this. Breakfast didn't include fruit salad, which was promised. Fee for paying on card was 2.5 euros!

Liked: Rooms and bathrooms were great. I was in a four-bed room and there was an ensuite bathroom which, coming from sleeping in a tent for four days, was fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and always gave great advice. They told us they are currently expanding their facilities to make it even better. I would recommend this hostel in a heartbeat. Beyond the quality of the hostel itself, the location was ideal. Temple Bar was less than a minute walk away and O'Connell St. and the shopping centers around it were just as close. Loved it all.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Great free Internet (Wifi in your room as well!), everyday cleaning, cages under your bed to store your things (though you do need to provide your own lock), VERY central location.

Disliked: In the room I stayed in there were not many outlets, and the ones in the room were difficult to access as they were blocked by the beds, so I had to go to the lounge everyday to charge my netbook (which really wasn't so bad).
