2/10 Poor

This was an absolute dump...No nice way to say it! The entire facility smelled like vomit and mold (In fact, there was vomit in the hallway when we woke up). We left after 1 night. The staff did make an effort to keep it clean, but the disrepair was just too extensive. I've seen homeless shelters in better condition than this facility. I can not stress enough how poor the condition of this facility was. It goes without saying that it was extremely overpriced for the condition of the property. I would definitely not recommend this place to my worst enemy!

8/10 Very Good

Fantastic location right on top of stellar venue. My room was a bit dull: I came back only at like midnight and everyone was in bed with the lights out, and no one else was up yet when I woke up at 8am. The hostel did sponsor an event for the guests every night so if you want to be social I think you can definitely get that here though

Nice location nice staff and a good price
The staff here are welcoming and friendly. There was a problem with my bookig here, but they tried very hard to help me sort out the booking, which I really appreciate. The room is spacious and everything is clean. Breakfast is included, you can enjoy some toast, cereal and fruits.

6/10 Good

The property is pretty dated and dirty but it’s because they are so busy all the time. The staff is super nice! My first night there I arrived pretty late and my bed did not have a pillow...I incorrectly thought maybe we needed to bring our own and I ended up having a miserable night of sleep. The next day I noticed all the other beds had pillows so I asked for one and they brought it later. None of the other beds had two pillows so mine was def just not ready. Breakfast is sufficient. You’re close to everything. Even though I booked late and it was for a mixed room, they put me with others of the same gender so I appreciated that.

Great location! Hostel is a nice place to lay your head, but its a little basic compared to many hostels. It was quite crowded in the kitchen and common area in the mornings. But the staff was great, friendly and helpful.

2/10 Poor

It's a hostel, so do not expect much. The location is the best part about this place. But it is also a downfall since there's no A/C and the window has to be cracked open in summer, resulting in constant street noise way into the evening, partying until 4:30 am, and construction noise starting up at 5:30 am. The stair railings were sticky, like paint that could never dry because of high humidity. The room floor slants toward the street. The bed is hard as a board and the linens thin and scratchy. The towels we were given at the front-desk were frayed and did not smell clean. We were told breakfast was included in our rate and that it started at 7:00 am, but when we made our way down to the lobby from our room and back up a different set of stairs to the kitchen, we found that if you didn't buy your own ingredients the night before to cook for breakfast, then you were going hungry.

Best location,poor rooms
Location was very good, few steps away from trinity college, few steps away from the stop where the airport coach leaves you and takes you . The staff was very nice. The price was lower than many other hostels Apart from those, I did not feel comfortable. The bed was very bad. The rooms size of 4 was very small with ensuite bathroom. The ventilation of the room was not adequate, l did not like anything about the room. There was not any privacy certains etc.

Good central location
Centrally located hostel, really close to all the central sights especially Temple Bar and Trinity. We had a private bathroom which was clean with a good shower. Breakfast was basic but sufficient. Also provide evening gatherings, with different themes each night such as board games and cheese and wine.
