    I loved staying at The Times Hostel. The staff is very helpful and ridiculously nice. The location is perfect, in front of Trinity College. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe at the area. There were lockers in the room, and breakfast available for 3 Euros. Also, free ice cream! Every bed has its plug. The room was really big, the common area too. It was great.

    The Times Hostel in College Street was an amazing hostel. Worth every penny, even the towel costs! Dasha was an angel, the Croatian woman in the front was extremely helpful and understanding, the guy with the septum piercing was friendly and willing to give advice/a hand when requested. Even the other guests were virtually all friendly and enthusiastic to be there. Keep it up and I will definitely be back whenever I'm in town. (P.S. the price is completely reasonable for the location, amenities and cleanliness of the building)

    They keep a good kitchen here. The rooms are maintained and clean. The windows don't work well if they work at all but it definitely makes do. The best part of this place was the super friendly and helpful staff. They are all great. Also each bed has its own plug in. A major benefit. Roll cages are provided below the bunks also, so if you need to lock things up you can. That will require your own lock though. One drawback might be this spot is located on a very busy street so it's loud. However it is in such a great location with temple bar neighboring that it's worth it.

    I liked the breakfast included. The building is fun and confusing. Close to everything! No lifts here. Which is ok to me. Clean and spacious in the rooms. I enjoyed my 5 days here. :) Note..it's quieter area away from the Temple Bar but walking there takes 5 minutes.my room was 17. Top of the building.

    Great place for short stays. Rooms are good and clean and bathrooms work fine and have privacy considering they're shared rooms. You might hear some noise from the street at night during weekends since the hostel is very close to Temple bar. Staff is incredibly nice and will help you with everything you need. Prices are great and worth it! Definitely recommended it.

    It's a bit noisy because a lot young people stay there in a mood for party. The cleanness is ok, but the ceramic was with mold in the edges. The location it was very good, and they have free activities all days at 7:30pm, like free beer, wine and cheese... No elevator.

    Female only, very clean and staff are very helpful. They supply 3 meals a day to residents free of charge. Bedrooms are sharing mainly 3 in a room and you have to be in by 10pm every night

    This is one of the better options to stay in the heart of Dublin in a clean facility with helpful staff. We had two beds in a room of 12 with an attached bathroom. The linen was clean and the bathroom was also decent considering the number of people using it. Their breakfast table was well stocked considering you get an all-you-can-eat spread for only 3 euros. They also have other rotating free events every day which are nice. We also used their washer/dryer facility. I definitely recommend this hostel and will book again if I'm in Dublin.

    Very friendly, helpful staff, excellent location. Good price. Breakfast was basic but the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'd need. My room of 8 was spacious compared to another hostel I went to and had an ensuite.

  • 4/5 Jérôme W. 6 years ago on Google
    Hostel offers a great value for a small price, even the 10 bed room is quite clean despite the bathroom but that is normal when there are so many people using it. It's location is very central, in the middle of the city. It's surrounded by many pubs and a shopping street is also near. Grocery stores are also reachable by foot in a few minutes. The employees there are very kind and helpful, breakfast is upgradeable, but totally okay for that price. I would recommend it without hesitating.

    The dirtiest hostel we've ever been!

  • 4/5 Elina E. 5 years ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Great location, first of all! The hostel is a bit of a maze but not in the sense that you get lost. The corridors and stairs are in need of some love, but the bathroom in my 6 bed womens' dorm was very fresh and renovated! The room was spacious and clean, however the window wouldn't shut and flies came in. Not too many but still. Friendly staff. Did not have breakfast there. I wouldn't mind staying there again.

    Can't clean

    Great hostel, clean room and bathroom, informed staff. A bag with some souvenirs was taken from our room at some point, I guess the custodian thought it was trash? Otherwise, a great experience!

  • 4/5 Janine 4 years ago on Google
    Great service with 24/7 check in. All are friendly. So far so clean. When you are in a multiple bed room are more the roommates kind of durty.good would be a bathroom option outside the shared bedrooms. Because you only have one bathroom per dorm room.

    Economic choice for hostels. Rooms were a bit tight, but hey, it is a hostel. Located strategically near the centre of Dublin. They also have breakfast.

  • 5/5 Genny K. 4 years ago on Google
    This hostel couldn’t have been in a better setting or location. The kitchen is very spacious with leather couches and Netflix! The rooms are perfect with private bathrooms with space to keep your toiletries. It was nearly silent at night. One of my best hostel experiences!
