Liked: Tradition hostel. Nice people, as almost all Irish. Cat living there.

Disliked: Door lock was just for fun. Locked door can move move then 1 cm. Crazy floor. Cabinet in fire place. Internet just in one building, but private rooms are in different.

Liked: Exceptionally helpful manager.

Disliked: Not always as clean as I would have hoped. But average, I guess, for a backpackers' place.

Liked: We had very friendly roommates. I like ensuites, and we had one here.

Disliked: It was difficult to find, even with the directions from the website. The ensuite bathroom was kind of dark and smelly. Some other guests went out partyinng, and were very loud when they returned late at night. The included breakfast was was scanty.

Liked: The downstairs of the property was great. Great facilities and large kitchen.

Disliked: It is quite a walk from the bus and train station, and up a large hill. One of the toilets was not completely finished with the decorating.

06 May 2011 Joanna would recommend this property

Liked: The location was quite good, the atmosphere in common room and the manager was really cool, told us a lot about the city when we were checking in but...

Disliked: I was moved to another room during my stay, the problem was that I was away that day, so there were people let in to my private room, my stuff still there. I had to run through other girls stuff to find my stuff, and some of them were just put on the floor, so they get dirty. I was working in hostels for 4 years, I don't mind moving, but the receptionist should have taken my stuff to the room I was moved to, and then let other people in. And when I came back to ask what happened, I didn't even hear 'sorry for problem' and the receptionist wasn't sure if my things were still in there. The other two problems are: bathroom - the water gets out of the shower in absolutely each bathroom, so there's flood every morning, and breakfast is not enough when there are more people.
