Front desk service and location are fabulous. However, the fan didn't work in the bathroom, the showers are miniscule, the wifi doesn't reach most of the rooms, the pillows are ridiculously thin/basically useless, and the sound proofing on the exterior windows is non-existent. They also don't actually make your bed, instead they give you the sheets that you then also have to bring back when you check out. Most guests don't bother putting the duvet cover on so the duvets are gross. Its just really cheap to not have proper housekeeping, particularly given the cost per night is comparable to other hostels that do actually make your bed for you, and have wifi in the rooms.

Really nice place! Good location and very nice staff. The cleaners took away my flask and a charger cable because I left them at a empty bed. But the friendly staff managed to get it back!

The hostel is what I expected with the price. The location did not feel the safest late at night and felt very old on the inside. Something I had never experienced in a hostel before was that a cleaning person came into the room to change the sheets and clean the bathroom around 10:15 am while I was just waking up. There was also construction either in the building or next door so it was pretty noisy starting at 8 am. The front desk staff was friendly and 24 hours which is nice.

Worst hostel I stayed at abroad, and I'm a very easy going person. Someone was walking around the hostel completely naked and when I complained, they did nothing about it, making me super uncomfortable. I felt scared to leave my stuff there during the day. Collected the most random people and people were taking phone calls in the rooms until 5am. I would easily spend the money someplace else.

Location fantastic. Good hostel. Very pricey, but then every where in Dublin is pricey now. We had a twin en suite private room for nearly €140. Only issue is that a shelf in the bathroom wouldn't go astray.. And there is noise from the road, but in such a central location you have to expect that

Pros: Very good location and walkable to lots of sites. Room was very tiny and clean (I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm). Beds had usb plugs, lights and chargers. Owner Lee was very helpful and responsive. More affordable then some of the other hostels in the area. Cons: With the great location, also comes the noise from bars-I recommend ear plugs. While the bed and room was clean, the top comforter was not- I did not use it with the stains.

The people at the reception are very friendly and helpful for everything, the location is excellent. The rooms are very small with little ventilation, but what I liked the least, at least to my liking and the days I was that there were many elderly people who apparently were only staying there because they had no place to live, no For tourism

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Ashfield Hostel. The staff is marvelous and the location is excellent, too. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I hope we'll be back some day soon!

Location and staff were good. The hostel is right by a pedestrian crossing that makes a beeping noise all night and there is a nightclub immediately beside the hostel with a smoking area on the pavement so expect noise until gone past 3 am. The window barely opened and the room was boiling despite the weather being a pretty temperate 20C outside, would definitely avoid in the summer. The lobby area was equally hot. The lift also seemed pretty precarious, with sudden dropping movements and concerning noises.

Great place to stay in Dublin! The staff were friendly and helpful when I needed them. The hostel has a nice kitchen, very clean by the way, I just missed an oven there, it would be great. This place is also close to the main attractions of the city which is great! In conclusion I would recommend it for short stays.

I've been on my trip for dhort time and i booked the number in here. The place is not bad as there is a kitchen on the ground floor where you can have a meal or cuppa coffee. There were 6 of us in the number,it was quite nice and calm place for resting. If you look something fir short of time with the best budget, that's the best place to stay as it's in the center of the city where you have everything to visit: restaurants, bars,cafés, parks... enjoy your trip!

The atmosphere was very nice. There was music and lots of tables. Our large group of 13 was able to fit and play cards. We very much enjoyed our time. The staff was friendly and there was a computer there for us to use and print off our boarding passes for the plane. I enjoyed my time there.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Ashfield Hostel. We made lots of friends and we enjoyed the evenings, if Conner was sitting at the reception. Conner entertained us with playing the harmonica or telling us lots about the Irish history. Thank you Conner - you are the heart of the Ashfield 😊 The kitchen is good equipped. The stuff was cleaning every day, but our bathroom should really be renewed. Our room was pretty small for 6 people, so no really space to put your things. All in all we loved our 7 days in your hostel. Thank you ❤️

It's enough for staying one or maybe two days but anything above that I wouldn't recommend. Let's go from bad to good. I'm gonna list everything I noticed so you can decide yourself whether you like it or you don't care. Bad: - On my clean bad sheets if found multiple long hairs. - The floor was only cleaned in the entrance area and a little in the middle of the room (I put my backpack on the floor next to my bed and after that the bottom of my backpack was super dirty). - The bathroom was rather dirty. - There was mold in the shower Good: - Friendly staff (at least the two receptionists I talked to. They recommend me a lot of great places I could go). - Included breakfast - Common area to socialize and chill I hope this information will help you in making your decision. Next time I'm gonna spend a little more money to get at least a clean bathroom.

Not bad for a young people's hostel. Good sleep, decent breakfast. Could use some paint to make the place nicer and cleaner looking. Also some better lighting in common area would be great. Otherwise, staff was friendly and helpful.

Pretty straight forward hostel experience. Entry floor has good seating for eating, charging, foing eirk, and tables to help in repacking to not bother sleeping guests in the room. Stairs no lift. Ensuite bathrooms, not my favorite, shared humidity and... smells. Not good ventilation in the bathroom or bunk room. The room was totaly dark from other customers pulling curtains totally shut, hard to get ready in the morning, incurred a little extra, unintentional, banging around. Not a fan of $95USD price, and having to dress the bed. Good location to be "in the middle of it". Pretty easy bus to the airport.

I enjoyed the time here. The staff was so kind and helpful. The room was clean. I choosed the 18 people’s room and it went smootly. Thank you🙌🏼

This is your no-frills hostel that gives you the basics for what you need for a short-term stay; clean facilities, a bed, storage for your luggage as well as a secure locker for your personal belongings. The shower for a dorm of 8 was pretty small, and, there aren’t any privacy curtains for the beds. Apart from these two small areas for improvement, I would say this is a great stay in a great location. Just a short walk over to temple bar and, I’d highly recommend their free walking tour!

We really enjoyed our stay in a private 3 bed room with en-suite bathroom. The room had everything we needed and was quite facing the back. Staff was super friendly and the kitchen was great and always super clean. The location is perfect.

Stayed there twice for a total of 3 nights. Very friendly staff, no problem with check-in or out, could leave the luggage in a luggage room after check-out. There is a common room with sofas and tables as well as electronic lockers for imo reasonable prices. Next to it there's the kitchen with fridges, and other storage for your food, kitchen is well-equipped, microwaves and a kettle too, there's coffee, tea and chocolate for free. There are towels to rent and cages (without locks, bring your own) underneath the beds. The stairwells are probably a bit narrow but it works. There's a lift as well but I didn't use it so I can't tell about it. Wifi works great all over the house. First time in the 14-bed room. Beds alright, with plugs, USB-plugs (my cable fell out of the USB so I had to use the normal one, no problem for me though) and light. Toilets and showers moslty clean, probably a bit narrow. 2nd time in a 6-bed room. Same beds, just one bathroom, of a decent size though. Noise from the street was alright in both rooms. Great location, right next to Trinity College, Temple Bar and the O'Connell Bridge. Also there's a bus stop for the bus coming from the airport and others going eg. to UCD. Other directions just one street away, coach stop for CityLink and Aircoach not far away either.

The hostel is perfect for a quick trip away Private room for two was perfectly functional and comfy. Staff are amazing. Especially Christopher, lovely bloke with great recommendations. Thanks for a wonderful stay

The only good thing about the hostel is its location. Everything else was a nightmare. The rooms are too small and overpriced for the quality. Most important is that the Cleaner was VERY RUDE. She entered into the room any time she wanted, even when we were undressed or sleeping.

So this is your standard hostel! I'm not marking it compared to a 5* hotel but compared to other hostels I've stayed in! Arriving it's very easy to find, they let me drop my bag off into a secured room for the day while I waited for the check in time! In the afternoon I fancied a few tins of beer while watching the football on my laptop and that was all ok! They also have a fridge to keep everything nice and cool! While having a few beers the receptionist played a bit of music from his Spotify and let you pick a few songs. The rooms are your standard 8 man hostel rooms with an en suite bathroom and shower to each room Absolutely no complaints and highly recommend

Yes this hostel is central and is very cheap compared to other accommodations in the city center BUT: our dorm room (35) had big black mold on the ceiling in the bathroom (see photo), the blanket had a weird smell, you have to bring the bedsheets back to the reception at check out (which is not common for hostels here) and they test the fire alarm on wednesday at 11:30. This hostel might be ok if you just want to stay for one night as cheap as possible, but it’s still terrible.

The location is perfect as it's right in the middle of the city center and a couple of minutes from Temple Bar. The people that work there were also wonderful and became close friends with some. They gave me many great recommendations. The problem was that the facilities were in great disrepair and the place needs a lot of investment. I was in a 12 bed room and at some point both of our toilets wouldn't flush. The sinks also clogged or drained very slowly. The beds were also very basic, and could be much better. I was on a bottom bunk, and every time someone would take their belongings out from the trunk underneath, it would knock the whole mattress waking you up.

For reference: I’m 25, female, and from Canada. This is my second time at this hostel, which is a good indicator that I really enjoyed my stay. For the first time I stayed for 4 nights and this time I stayed for 6. It’s basic, to the point, and staffed with cool people. Best part? It’s quiet. I’m not a party hostel person. I go out to party and then I like to come home to sleep. It has a luggage storage room that remains locked with the key at the front desk, extra main floor toilets, 2 fridges & dry storage and labels to label your food, an elevator if need be, and a very large lounge area. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm. The bathroom is just fine, with a shower with hot water and a working toilet and sink. The housekeeper is great at refreshing the bathroom everyday. I also stayed in a 6 bed female dorm last time, and it seems there is a bathroom for every room. Not sure on the larger rooms. The bunks have personal lights, a little shelf, an outlet and a couple USB ports. The bunks have cages underneath them so bring a lock. Bring a lock that is thin, as I brought a combination lock last time and it didn’t work. Actual best part: Location!! It is near the river that separates the north and south side, there’s a circle K and a super value around the corner, and my favourite pub ever: Cassidy’s just a street over. The walk to temple bar is easy peasy and I felt safe on my walks back. The receptionists play cool music in the lounge area if you like feeling happy. If you’re lucky, Lee will share his chips with you. Staff is friendly and informative. Ask the staff about air port shuttles for 6am flights and about nearby laundry (no coin laundry apparently in Dublin, so you pay to have someone wash it. Great service and if you mention the hostel you can get a discount (if that still applies)). It can get noisy from the street if your room is street side. Bring earplugs, but I also noticed there were earplugs available at the front desk. If you are as extra as I am, I bought a little fan and that helped. The rooms can get hot! It’s summer and a large building so no a/c but the window does open half way. In the shower I had there was no little shelf to put your items on, so it was a bit uncomfy to shower as they can be tight. Bathrooms are small but reasonable for sure so don’t worry. Also, not the most social hostel. I am ok with this because I like being alone when I’m there, but that could just be person dependent. The lounge space is very large so I found everyone kept to themselves. Only weird thing is the booking website mentions free breakfast - there is not. Unless I missed something (I may have slept until 11/12 everyday..). Ashfield feels like home and I will return if I need a space to crash in Dublin. It feels safe. There is 24/7 reception = no curfew! Great feature to be honest. Thanks for everything to the crew. Slàinte!

Great place, friendly staff, location is absolutely perfect, very reasonable prices, can't ask for any more from a budget hostel

Good location, room was ok, although we missed some place to hang clothes / towels, there was a wardrobe but no hangers in it. Also we did not like that we had to make our own beds and then undo it and bring the laundry downstairs before leaving. For the price we pay this should be included.

Best location, great price for the room, good staff and everything. I have no complaints about this place. Everything was great.

Room was very good. I only wish there were more hooks and hangers. Also somewhere to put my things in the en suite bathroom (which was just updated with floor to ceiling tile). Kitchen is roomy and very nice.

Nice hostel, clean and nice staff.. there was a maintenance guy drilling, cutting, and hammering wood near our 18 people room before 8 am… woke up everybody..:/ I told the manager and he refunded me:)

Had no experience of hostelling before so wasn’t sure what to expect! I was in the 6 bed female dorm, only stayed for two nights, but was what I needed to do some touristy things as very central location which meant it was quite noisy as the windows let it in and the cold! Bedrooms are pretty basic and so was the bathroom but beds were fine to sleep in so for a student looking for a cheap accommodation it was fine! lots of things to do and the staff are super helpful :)

It's amazing Hostel, super Service by Overall. I strongly recommend . Definitely I will come back 😍😍😍😍. All are great. Thanks to all Staff members. Yusuf, Portugal.

+ lightening bulbs, charging sockets and USB ports are provided with each bed in dormitory room + 12 min walking from Dublin Connolly railway station + very nice and delicious breakfast + free milk, coffee and chocolate drink in the kitchen + Nice and helpful staff + 24 hours reception + free luggage storage on the day of checkout + Irish rail run from Dublin to Belfast for around 20 Euros per person (fully flexible fare). I travelled in Oct 2019 - very weak Wi-Fi in rooms, eventually you will need to use your own mobile data - metal beds in dormitory rooms may be noisy - little costlier, I paid 27 euros for 1 bed in 4 bed dormitory room on 30 Sep 2019 - very small space for shower and toilet

The place is amazing and staff was so friendly, helpful and careful. It’s so clean and the location is perfect and very centric. Definitely I will come back. Thanks for your incredible service, I spent a really nice time!

We had a great stay at Ashfield Hostel! Apart from the heat in the kitchen and dining area and no ventilation in the bathrooms, everything was great! The location was perfect, very convenient for walking around the city and there was a supermarket close by. The beds were very comfortable and our biggest compliments go to the staff, who were really nice and helpful. :) Have a good one!

I have spent a night in the common room with 20 people (more or less), and it was fine: the room was quiet and clean and the price was fair. Then I have spent a second night in a double room: terrible experience! The room was extremely small and definitely overpriced for this kind of accommodation (even for a place like Dublin). Due to the location right over a traffic light (in Dublin traffic lights make an annoying noise every time pedestrians have the green light), was hard to sleep. There is a pub located a few meters from the window with loud music all night long and the traffic on the road in front of the window is intense until late at night, so the room was extremely noisy. The breakfast was fine. The staff is very nice and they will be glad to give you some suggestion about pubs and restaurant in the area.

Stayed for 3 nights. Staff were always friendly and willing to give recommendations for things to do. Breakfast is provided every morning, which is an awesome start to the day. The location is awesome - you're right in the heart of the city and a mere stumble from the best Dublin has to offer. Beds are so-so and the rooms were pretty cramped. The common areas didn't really lend themselves to meeting new people.

Heater very weak, room super small, windows no sealed so cold air coming in and the smell of oil paint in the whole place was just too much.

No hot water, the room was pretty dirty. Oh yeah and we came back to a stanger sleeping in our bed. Wouldn't recommend

I am American and I been told I am not welcome there because this place owner Muslim. This disrespectful and racist. I reported to the Garda and booking.com Do not book there!!!!!!!!!

The showers were really terrible. Plus price quality was perfect.

Everything except the windows is perfect. The windows are a bit old and not soundproof at all, so you might as well keep them open. But everything else was amazing. The staff is one of the nicest I have ever met, the breakfast is good and the music selection is awesome. I would definitely recommend staying here, since you are in a nice hostel and in the middle of the city, so getting pretty much anywhere even on foot is really fast.

The hotel's location is very good. You are close to everything in the center of Dublin and this makes it easy to get around and save on transport. The beds are clean, but the big rooms have a bad smell, a lot of noise and the bathrooms are not functional. The showers weren't working very well. The staff is very attentive and friendly.

OVERPRICED and ANTIQUATED. Having stayed at hostels around Europe this was the most disappointing hostel for the price we paid. It hasn't been updated in years and feels quite dirty. While the location was good, the rooms were extremely small, you have to deal with your own linens, no towels, there was hair all over the room and the environment was not very friendly. The overall experience was fine but for the price, I would never recommend a stay here.

Very clean - both the lobby and ensuite bathrooms had just been cleaned when I walked in. Reasonable price especially considering the dorms have ensuites with only six beds each.

nice clean rooms and ordered the staff is very kind so the price quality recommend it to anyone who wants to spend even a single night

Location is a 10/10 and staff are friendly. However, that’s not worth how dirty it is, the sheets are full of long hairs, bathroom is dirty… plus the bedrooms are pretty uncomfortable, they’ve got the bare minimum space to move around the room. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Very close to the city centre, beds were comfy, clean overall and lovely staff

This location is as central as you can get! I was there for 2 nights, both nights I shared a full room with 7 strangers. Everyone minded their own business and I felt very safe during my stay. The only negatives were that you could very easily hear people walking and talking outside our door that led to the common area. The pillow was also very flat so I had to fold it double to get some elevation. Overall my stay was great and the staff were very nice and helpful. Will definitely return if I go to Ireland again!

Staff is really nice and the location is 10/10. Place is nice and clean. (We stayed in a 2-bed room). Common area on the first floor is really big and has an option to store and cook food (for those who are travelling on a tight budget). Although the space in the bedroom is really limited, but you dont actually stay in Dublin to spend time in your room, right? Great for a short stay!

Currently staying here and hating it. Our overhead light doesn't work and hasn't been replaced since we arrived five days ago. The wifi is terrible. Can't even receive an email on their connection. So forget getting any work done. The stairwell door next to our room slams loudly every time someone uses it, shaking our wall. As does the one at reception, no idea why they haven't fixed this. The lobby was leaking from the ceiling as we arrived, a repairman had to enter our suite multiple times trying to see if it was coming from our room. (It wasn't) More than half the outlets on the beds don't work, making charging our phones very difficult. A cleaner came through our room during the day and left our first floor window open for birds or whoever to climb in and make themselves comfortable. The beds are so rickety that they shake violently when either top or bottom bunk moves. Also the ladder to the top bunk has a jagged edge so my fiancé cut his foot rather badly and the front desk could only offer us a new towel and some bandaids. They haven't responded to my complaints or fixed anything. I hate it here and want to leave but I can't get a refund. DO NOT STAY HERE. This doesn't even include the street noise which I understand is unavoidable. The lack of security, anyone can enter the hostel and use the elevator. But not the stairwell? Okay. I guess the one star I have to give is for the location, it's very central. This is my only compliment to this hostel.

Great little hostel with genuine and friendly staff. They're happy to point you in the right direction, whether that be pub crawling, museum planning, or delicious food. Lee is great at helping navigate the city and handling customer questions while still checking people in and making them feel welcome effortlessly. Connor is a fount of local, world, and historical knowledge, and is willing to share, be ready to learn something! Between these gentleman and the rest of the staff I've felt very welcome regardless of time of day. Definitely a great hostel experience!

Currently staying here and will definitely Use this place again when I visit Dublin again. The room was spotless and the handy cages under the bed mean I can lock my bags away while I go out and not worry about theft. The bathroom is really clean and modern, only downside is it takes about 10 mins for the hot water to start coming through in the shower. Kitchen is really clean, lobby is clean and welcoming. If you’re looking for somewhere cheap to stay in Dublin that’s at least 3 times less than the hotels, this is your spot.
