Hostels in County Dublin, Ireland

Amazing First Hostel Experience – Highly Recommend! I had never stayed in a hostel before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect—but my stay at Generator Dublin completely exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and comforting. The dorms were clean and well-maintained, and I was especially impressed with how spotless the bathrooms and toilets were. They even provide hair dryers, which is such a thoughtful touch. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay—special shoutout to Alex, who was always kind and approachable. The vibe downstairs was super fun and lively. Even if you don’t have plans for the evening, there’s plenty to do right at the hostel—games, live music, and a party-like atmosphere that makes it easy to meet people and just enjoy the night. I was also lucky to have great dorm mates, which made the stay even more enjoyable. All in all, staying at Generator Dublin as my first hostel experience was truly memorable and amazing. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and social place to stay in Dublin.

The cheapest i could get at that time. Just i thing tho. Either me who didn't know how to switch on the water heater or they don't have it there. I literally have to cold shower in the morning. Oh one more thing. I don't know if this european common practice or what but check in at 15:00 and check out at 10:00 is suck man

We stayed at Clink i Lár in Dublin and overall found it clean, comfortable, and mostly quiet. The lobby has a nice coffee bar and a breakfast buffet (which looked good, but we didn’t try). If you’re interested in breakfast, book ahead—it’s 2 euros more if you wait. The onsite bar closes at midnight, which helps keep things quiet, though we arrived at 12:15 and missed out on a Guinness—disappointing timing! Check-in starts at 3 PM and checkout is a firm 10 AM—we overheard other guests who missed checkout by five minutes and were locked out of their room. We had two back-to-back bookings for a private six-bed room. Instead of letting us stay, they made us check out and check back in five hours later—even though it was the same room type. They offered a late checkout/early check-in option, but with extra fees per person. It seemed like more work for them and a frustrating policy for us. Overall, a good location and clean hostel, but the rigid booking policy was a downside.

It’s a good hostel. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is a good sense of security. They also run a lot of events like pub crawls, quiz nights and walking tours which are great for getting to know the city and meeting fellow travelers. I stayed in a four pod room which had a locker for each and its own bathroom. It was clean and quite large and because of the small group, there was never a queue to use the facilities. The restaurant/ pub attached is good and reasonably priced. I had a really satisfying cup of coffee. It is quite well located, but not ideal. It’s down an alley which is totally fine, but feels dodgy. It is also just further out of the fun parts of the city than I would like.

The location is particularly good and the service is first-rate. For old people who don't understand English, enthusiastic young people will help you.

Pretty good for a youth hostel, clean bedspreads, quilt covers and pillow covers on the bed, make your own. Girls from all over the world are very conscious, the bathroom is clean, and the bar downstairs is noisy until 13:00 in the morning, which has no impact on my good sleep.

The service was great, he people at reception were very nice and welcoming, and they were always available. The facilities were very clean, and the staff friendly. There were security cameras, which increased the feeling of safety. I was in a mixed 14 people bedroom and they manage to keep it clean every day. I also felt safe leaving my belonging (so did the other guests), and never saw the need in using a locker, the other visitors were nice and respectful, there was an environment of mutual trust.

旅館很乾凈，第一次住青旅，很安靜氛圍很平靜，早飯吃的飽飽的，旅館位置超級好，旁邊的酒吧超級大，有個大舞台氛圍超好

這是我到達的第62個國家，房間床上用品非常舒服，是旅途中難得的高檔的住宿。有公用廚房，可以去中國超市融興行買海鮮，特價海鮮非常便宜，可以去其他中國超市買牛扒，價格也非常便宜中國一公斤280元，都柏林120元，剛開始不懂用真空煲和微波爐，因為中國人習慣炒菜，後來發現把意粉用開水泡了，微波爐煮四分鐘，再放牛扒煮四分鐘，海鮮不需要那麼久的時間，每餐4歐元吃的心滿意足，海鮮大餐自己動手做起來。我每頓飯加上水果都很便宜，5歐以內。年輕人吃公仔麪、麪包，在外旅行消耗大量體力，要適當補充能量。
