it's near almost all attractions, good space in the bedrooms, good mattress, enough bathrooms and showers. Good conditions of maintenance and cleanliness.

well the breakfast was good enough, but it starts at 8:30 am, I stayed at the hostel 5 days and I just have breakfast one day, because I needed to go out before that time, maybe they should change the open hours or they fix it like optional. They could install a shelf it'll help when charge mobile. I didn't like the drawer under the bed, it's too heavy, the one I used just first night had dried blood, indicating that someone hurts him or herself.

The beds were very comfortable, very surprising but they were excellent. The comfy area was good but could do with the IT stuff being moved due to some guests call etiquette was awful and meant you could watch TV. The facilities were good, shared showers were clean and presentable. The staff were good help and accommodated bag drop as we were early.

The plugs for my bed were wall mounted and both were jammed by previous guests plugs. Annoying but not world ending, worth getting maintenance to have a look. The water pipe system has air in it this was evident as it kept banging on the wall like a demented mole trying to get in. Luckily I was steaming drunk so slept through, again worth having someone bleed the system.

The common room on the last floor is really nice and comfortable! There are two computers, beautiful sofas and you have the possibility to watch Netflix on a big flatscreen. There are also two tables in the common room. It's very clean and seems quite new. I also appreciated the kitchen, it was well equipped, there was a lot of free food and a really nice terrace. The people were really nice and helpful! The beds in the room were comfortable and you have a lot of privacy thanks to the curtains. The bedrooms were also clean and there was a box under the bed where you could store your stuff.

When you book a bed in a shared bedroom it says "one bed in a 4 bed mixed room with private bathroom". I think this is a bit misleading, as I thought that our room (4 people) would have a private bathroom. But in reality you divide the bathroom with the whole floor, which are 4 rooms. Moreover I was missing a hairdryer in the bathroom. The reception is normally occupied only from 10am to 4pm. I would have appreciated if it would have been a little longer, at least from 8am to 8pm.

A very pleasant hostel. Quiet, very comfortable bed, nice communal area and view of the city from the balcony. Good atmosphere. Helpful staff. The location is in an old part of the city, a residential area with interesting shops and cafes. No traffic noise at night because the hostel is on a very quiet residential street. Within walking distance of Heuston train station (about 10 mins) and also within walking distance of the city centre but there are also bus stops nearby.

Overall good for a short stay. They have a good kitchen and comfortable entertainment room. It is in the city center, very close to multiple attractions. Room are clean and comfortable.

Room got very warm and table fan doesn't help for the person who sleep in the top bed. The lady who was sleeping in the bottom bunk didn't let us switch on the fan(even when the room was really stuffy) saying that she doesn't like the noise, having no consideration for anyone else in the room. Bathroom needs few shelves to keep the stuff while bathing.

Great and nice staff, they sell some essential goods for a very low price (plug adapters, toothbrushes...) and keep the luggage safe before checking in and at check out. Rooms were clean and the noise was manageable. Location was very central and well connected.

Some of the bathrooms were not as clean as we would have liked. Some mold traces on the walls of the room. Price was expensive for a hostel, not so expensive for the city, so I would rate it ok. Location was very central but could get sketchy as well. Pillows were really thin.

A very good experience overall. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, they took good care of my luggage (I arrived early). The facilities were basic but always clean, and I appreciated the free coffee-and-tea station in the kitchen. My bed was very comfortable. A bonus point is the brilliant view over Dublin's rooftops that you get from the kitchen/terrace space--you can have your coffee while watching the sunrise and listening to the seagulls!

I found the location somewhat rough, especially because I was travelling solo and sometimes had to return to the hostel late. But if you like Dublin's gritty charm, or really want to keep it central and low-priced, it could be something for you.

I am on a low carb sugar free diet but did enjoy the fruit and coffee. The people from all over the world who I'd meet at breakfast were wonderful!

Two people in my room snored all night on my last stay of the 7th. Flew out in the morning for a lengthy flight with no sleep. I stayed a week before and room noise was not a problem, other than the rare sound of a parking lot gate shutting.

The location was good. Not what I was expecting but once I wandered around a bit I quite enjoyed it. The facilities were very clean and bright and comfortable. I didn’t make it in time for the breakfast but I wish I would have. I loved that they offered it.

Everything was very good. The only issue I had was although the mattresses were new and very nice they were very firm and my arthritis didn’t appreciate that. But they had better mattresses than the super ritzy hotel I had the following night!

Friendly staff, small room but clean, bathrooms were good (one new and nice, the other a bit old and needing restructuring), nice kitchen where you can put all you need and grab some simple breakfast.

Breakfast at 8:30 is quite late and the quality of some things could be improved (mattress and bathrooms), but still good for this price and location
