Ashfield Hostel

I am very excited while heard the guitar music during night, from the lobby. Very nice and relax, thank you very much to guitar player Mr Connor

Very good ambience. This hostel is in the heart of Dublin city.

Enjoyable but not sure I would return. The staff were great, friendly but not intrusive. One of the night staff at the desk played a harmonica and he was awesome. Felt like you were at home with friends. The one negative was that there was no curtain across the bunks to block light if someone came in late. Or to hopefully baffle the snoring individual across the room.

Clean and beds were comfortable. Great location for sightseeing but also meant people milling around outside, talking until wee hours of the night.

My traveling companion and I were very disappointed in our stay at the Ashfield Hostel - so much so, that we checked out 4 days early to stay at another location. The staff was respectful, but neither of us felt comfortable walking in or out of the hostel at night. I had gone down to receive a food delivery we had ordered, and several highly intoxicated men attending the SoHo club next door tried getting too close to me. All throughout the night until 4:30am we could hear people screaming, bottles shattering, and incessant intoxicated singing. While observing out our window, I also witnessed people indulging in severely illegal *****. The room itself was not great either. The bathroom in particular was very disappointing. I am not a large person, but I could barely turn 360 degrees in the shower - I could barely clean myself. Also, as soon as you turned on the shower head, the shower was so small, the water instantly sprayed the entirety of the floor below it, leaving it completely soaked which required us to acquire more towels, which we had to pay for. This hostel was also advertised to have laundry units, which it did not.

The staff were super nice, great location in the city centre which meant I could walk everywhere. The bedroom was warm, tidy and clean. My roomates were very friendly and considerate so that’s a plus. Will definitely stay there next visit! 😌
