The staff are nice, their smile makes my day good. The bed is unexpectedly super comfortable. I slept really well except when I was awake by someone’s snoring which is uncontrollable.
The location is nice, next to the station. There’s a bathroom inside of dorm, and also gender bathrooms on different floors. There’s shampoo in the bathroom.
The bed is clean. The bathroom also. But there’re rubbish in my locker when I arrive.

No doubt economical as a one night sleep in dublin; nice receptionist; but never seen a hostel that would limit shower time (shower head automatically turned off every 15s)

The hotel is disappointing I stayed in a single room with a double bed. No hairdryer, no kettle, heater not in operation, poor sound insulation, key replaced by codes, right next to the rail (rather noisy durong d8ay time), poker faced reception. Also rather noisy as it is so very close to the railway. Baggage storage needs to be paid hourly €1.20 or €1.00 depends on the size. Luckily I stayed for one day. The first tine and the last tine. Not recommended.

This is one of the best hostels I’ve been to! The receptionist are really helpful and the rooms are very clean. They have a locker inside the rooms that locks with a password, which is so convenient when arriving. Their bar also was really nice and they offer m breakfast morning I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Dublin thanks 🌟👍💯

Really lovely atmosphere at this hostel with many other young solo travellers. I stayed in the female dorms and it felt safe, welcome and clean.
The only issue is the plumbing / water system. The pipes would make strange gurgling sounds throughout the night for no reason and it was quite loud. The shower in my room stopped every 5 seconds and the button was hard to press - however, there are shower facilities in the corridor too and those were a little better.
Overall a good place to stay!

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.

GREAT COST/QUALITY, ALL RECOMMENDATIONS
Extra good location in centre: Connoly train station, Busaras bus station, DublinExpress's Quay bus stop near, heart of centre in pedestrian access.
Not often in hostels good privacy due to bed in capsule with curtain. Light and socket at bed.
Clean, non-close and well equipped toilet/shower just in room.
Lockers in room and luggage storage before/after stay.
Large common area with bar.
Cheap for expensive Dublin.

The location is excellent, close to the shopping street and the tourist attractions. Safe neighbourhood I must say, police station is in the corner. Room was clean and tidy. A bit noisy due to the train rail next to but it is not that bothersome. Breakfast was good. And the ambience is great!

I found something little and sticky on the bed sheet, and people here seems don’t respect people who are sleeping by volumning up their devices instead of using headphones. But other than that it’s quite nice

Hostel inside is like a prison feeling. Really. Don’t stay here. Very weird people and very bad smell in the lobby in evenings. Location is unsafe. Food in the bar bad and wasting money. Avoid!
