    I don't usually give such a bad rate but I just want to let you know how horrible was the experience there. They charged 25€ per night without any conditions. They put me in a room where the whole night water was dripping from the selling. The bathroom are like in the medieval times. The staff wouldn't care about any of that. They are not even registered in the Hostelworld, I think that's because of their conditions there.

    DO NOT STAY HERE! Stayed in Room 48, no hot water, cold shower dribbling water, fire escape kept looked, tiny room, very poor condition, I should have slept in the park! Horrendous noise all night from some pump.

    Pretty expensive for how terrible it was. Place needs to be renovated badly! Everything was either broken, creaking or tarnished. The rooms are really small, and the bed wasn't even a real bed! Just a wooden box with a VERY THIN mat on it. Tv looks like it's from the 80s and doesn't work anyway. Only one temperature for the shower: Burn your skin off. Dial of temp change doesn't work. Only positive: Staff was nice. But save your €45 and go somewhere else.

    Absolute garbage! Decrepit room, with dilapidated bathroom. The shower didn't work, only dripped a little, and no hot water. The staff was nice, but you pay when you check in, and no refunds, so they've got your money regardless of your satisfaction.

    Well, we have hardly ever stayed at a more shabby establishment. Rented a so-called private ensuite room, that was basically a repurposed hostel room with 1 electric socket! Very neglected run-down facilities without basic necessities, dirty old bathroom equipment that should have been replaced by now, furniture in bad state, non operational TV in the room, thin as paper walls and a not so sturdy lock on the door. On the plus side, friendly personnel that could not though actually help you with anything and a quite good location next to the historic center. All in all, very poor value for money but Dublin is certainly worth visiting!

    Absolutely not recommendable. Except for people who like to sleep in rooms with badly insulated and dirty windows. Perhaps, people who like dirty bathrooms and mould on the walls will also have their joy. Everyone else should look for another place to stay. Probably it would be even better to sleep under a bridge. There you can enjoy the same comfort without having to pay for it. Worst hostel I've ever been! Not even worth a one star rating!

    I never have been to a hostel this expensiv, and on the other hand with such a low standard. The reception guys were nice, but that was it. The floor in our room and consequently the bed was lopsided heavily. The bathroom wasn't even close to clean. The floor tiles in the bathroom were loose, as well as the sink. On top we had enough warm water to shower only once in four days... I know Dublin is expensiv, but this is just close to a scam

    It was awesome staying there. The staffers are wonderfully great. They made it a home away from home for me. I definitely will be there some other time.

    They were very rude plus they shut the door on my face

  • 1/5 paula d. 5 years ago on Google
    Cheap but not very cheerful. Staff are helpful & you get what you pay for. Bed linen was clean but room is damp, fusty & smells it. Doors & windows do not fit & road noise is bad, especially as they were digging it up! Bed was extremely uncomfortable, needs a new mattress at least! One bed actually fell apart, had to replace the slats during night. For the price i guess it was borderline OK. Would i i stay again? As a last resort bed if going to an event.

    Really nice place situated in the heart of the city. The guys at the Hostel were super friendly and the place really clean and tidy, the cleaning lady was like a ninja! Would definitely go back.

  • 3/5 Carolin K. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice staff, central just 5-10 mind to temple bar. Rooms are a bit old and the bed is quite hard, what just personelly liked. Was cheapest for double room with own bathroom.

    Quiet but safe

    It's a bit like time traveling. Enjoy the advantage's of the mid 50's. There was light and also water. But you have to sleep without blanket because the mattress is made of concrete. You have to sleep on the blanket.
