All was good apart from the noise in the bathroom. You need small maintenance for little things.

Boxed bunk bed is useful for the privacy. Not much to think about. I like it. Best hostel in Dublin ATM. And also love the toast in the coffee corner. It just hits.

Breakfast was the regular free breakfasts - breads, coffee/tea, spreads like PB jam & butter. One of the receptionists was lovely & seemed like she knew Dublin like the back of her hand, very approachable. Loved the entry card access. Bed was comfy & felt clean, so were the showers — a lot of stalls, thankfully.

The staff was always very helpful and the areas were comfortable and very well equipped. It was a very quiet neighbourhood but closer to the main attractions, I walked everywhere but also close to bus stops and you can get Dublin express from and to airport and the stop is like 5 blocks away. The areas were always clean and the kitchen well stocked for the basics but it was very helpful. I also used the laundry and tho it was my first time they help me to insert how it worked.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location for town, we got upgraded from a private twin room with a shared bathroom to a private 4 bed dorm with an en-suite. The room was clean, beds comfy and the staff were really friendly. The breakfast was good, just toast, cold meat, cheese, fruit, salad and soup but a great addition to the already cheap stay.

    Good value for money, in that it was cheap and right beside Connolly station. Clean, with a comfortable bed and warm water in the shower. There's a nice bar in the foyer area and they serve good food too. Overall, a good hostel if you're on a budget.

    Think youth hostel, dormitories, study rooms, multi cubicle showers and toilets, kitchen, laundry, helpful staff, cafe. Quiet safe clean rooms, solid enclosed bunks with a comfy mattress, shelf, light and charger inside the bunk and a curtain to for privacy. Also a locker/drawer under the bunk for stuff. Didn't hear any noise from any other guest during the night Staff friendly, helpful and efficient Nice area for cafe, old stained glass architecture, relaxed with other guests Outside garden for relaxing, chilled

    Best hostel I have ever stayed in. Really clean and comfortable. The bunk bed set up is brilliant - all feels very private and safe. It was quiet at night, I never had to queue for the showers and the lounge / dining and study rooms are excellent. It’s a short walk into town and right by a bus stop. Lots of nice places to eat and drink just minutes away.
