Guest Reviews
- Fatima (9/5): - I liked the place and the price. They have more stuff than advertised. They have kitchen and washing machine. The WIFI was good and strong. The guests were Irish and they were nice. You can wash your clothes for free. The communication with the staff was good and positive as well.
- Murphy (3/5): - On of the outside window was smashed. Kitchen area disgusting with dishes left in sink. Didn't see any staff to complain. Bunk not available at stated checking in time. Bed comfy and clean. Hostel has many semi permanent residents.. On of the outside window was smashed. Kitchen area disgusting with dishes left in sink. Didn't see any staff to complain.

- Marcelo (1/5): Don’t go it’s wasting money - Nothing Bed sheets was used and dirty
Place wasn’t cleaned
Stinky fried old oil
Not even have towels (I was travelling overseas )
Because of this I have to move to an other place and didn’t have my money back

- Joseph (8/5): - It was quiet, very central to many attractions, with a bus service that runs 24 hrs day and night located extremely close. I didn't like the lack of toilet roll and cutlery.
- Basile (8/5): Séjour qui m’a agréablement surpris, rapport qualité prix excellent - Très agréablement surpris vu les notes de l’établissement, chambre propre avec douche, lits confortables même si l’oreiller est un peu fin et personnel très sympathique Le seul bémol est qu’il n’y a pas de casiers pour poser ses affaires, et qu’on est pas extrêmement près du centre
- Michelle O Doherty (2/5): Couldn't stay. - The location was okay for me. There were no staff on site. There was no security checks or checking of people staying, you just got messaged on the code for the door and the room. I didn't feel safe there at all. I couldnt not sleep there, I had to leave. There were no staff on site at any times. They said there was parking but there was just one space, up on the path right outside the doorway of a pub and bearly room for my short car, it would have been dangerous to get out of in the morning straight onto the road. Some plugs in the room were not working. The bathroom was very small and dark.
- Mario Alberto (1/5): - Cumplió el objetivo de tener un techo para dormir No lo considere limpio, no céntrico, no había nadie en recepción que atendiera o por lo menos no lo vi.
- Desiree Sampedro (4/5): - La ubicació Instal·lacions, neteja
- Muhammad (10/5): -
- Melanda (4/5): Dirty, photos don't match the real conditions and overall not well taken care. - Location was probably the good part about this stay. It's near a good park, and there's a bus line 2 minutes away from the hostel. Images dont match the house. The rooms were not clean, sometimes for days in a row. There was a broken window and cigarrets buds on the ground (for days). The're were also days were, since no one came to clean and refill the supplies, there was no toilet paper. The code for acessing the hostel was changed and no one notified me either, I had to call a number, that by chance called me that day to enquire about something, to ask. If I did not had that number, I would have to message throught Booking and wait for a few hours, without acess to the hostel.

- Khiram (1/5): Я больше сюда не пойду. - Мне не понравилось: грязная лестница при входе, разбитое окно, маленькая кухня не та что на фото в интернете, нет персонала и сервиса, чайник очень долго нагревается, нет достаточной мебели, неприятные запахи в комнате...
- Ömer (1/5): Gefängnis Experience - Die Unterkunft hat mich zunächst mit ihrem – für Dubliner Verhältnisse – günstigen Preis angesprochen.
Leider wurde ich vor Ort bitter enttäuscht.
Es gab keine Rezeption, an die man sich hätte wenden können. Die Toiletten funktionierten nicht richtig, da sie nicht spülten, und die Betten wirkten instabil. Zudem roch das gesamte Zimmer stark nach Schweiß. Insgesamt machte die Unterkunft einen sehr heruntergekommenen Eindruck.
Ich habe mich von Anfang an extrem unwohl gefühlt und konnte letztlich keine einzige Nacht dort verbringen.
Wer also auf der Suche nach einer Art „Gefängniserfahrung“ ist, wird hier fündig.
Allen anderen kann ich nur dringend empfehlen, sich nach einer anderen Unterkunft umzusehen und diesen Ort zu meiden.

- Ramaye (1/5): Il a tué mes vacances - Horrible
Je ne sais pas par quoi commencer tellement que c'était un massacre. Commençons par là où on pose nos pied. Le sol était sale, collant n'en parlons pas dans la salle de bain qui était collant mouillé avec du papier toilette par terre (tout cela avant que je ne pose mes affaires). Les lits était présent mais sale (des tâches sur les couvertures ainsi que sur les draps). Ils grinçaient à chaque mouvement. Comment vous dire que j'ai passé une mauvaise nuit d'une part à cause des lits mais SURTOUT à cause du froid causé par la fenêtre casser, je ne vous en parle pas de celle qui sont éclatés dans d'autre chambre. Dans les toilette/salle de bain, la cuvette des toilettes était casser. Le lavabo était tellement dégueulasse que j'ai failli vomir. Le PIRE dans tout ça, c'est que lorsque je suis sortie pour me baladé en ville, je me suis assurer à 100% que j'avais bien fermé la porte de ma chambre, QUEL NE FÛT PAS MA SURPRISE de retrouver ma porte à moitié fermé QUELQU'UN EST ENTRER DANS LA CHAMBRE !!!
Alors je ne sais pas pourquoi faire mais franchement question sécurité on est sur un 0 si tout le monde connais le code de chaque chambre. Je ne sais pas s'il existe une inspection du travail en Irlande mais c'est sur qu'il vont fermer s'ils voient cette auberge. Franchement je ne voulais pas grand chose juste une endroit pour se reposer ce logement similaire à une maison abandonné à détruit mes vacances. J'espère sincèrement qu'il vas fermer.

- Daria (2/5): - the administration quickly resolved the issue, no issues with the staff First of all, the hostel was dirty. The window in our room was broken (when we asked to fix it, the administrator reported it to the managers, but they didn’t do anything). Cold air was constantly coming through the window, so we had to cover it with a bedsheet. The photos on Booking Do Not match reality at all, and it takes about 30 minutes by bus to get to the city centre. I do not recommend this place.
- Pablo (7/5): - El personal del establecimiento fue majo y resolutivo En la entrada al esablecimiento se acumula agua en el suelo dificultando la entrada un poco.
- Elhachemi (1/5): -
- Abisola (9/5): -
- Piña Carrero (5/5): Estándar, regular. - En relación calidad precio está bien, aunque deja que desear. La ubicación está cerca del centro en autobús, pero una ventana estaba rota en pleno invierno, el olor a tubería y la higiene del servicio podría ser más buena….No está mal para viajar unos días de manera barata, pero no lo recomendaría como algo excepcional.
- Diana (1/5): - It was warm At 11:30 pm a man in a towel who wasn’t staying in the room with me just came into the room, same thing happened later at night. There is no sense of safety or security in this property.
- Nina (1/5): - getting sleep, surviving the night and then leaving random man coming into our room at 11:30 pm in a towel and then again in the middle of the night, broken window, shower switches been boiling hot and ice cold, no sign of security

- Edwards (1/5): - Very bloody little. The entire check-in check out process was invasive and hostile. This property has practically no staff and compensates by treating guests like unwanted, untrustworthy cattle. Half the showers don't work. Any items left outside of the rooms are simply thrown away. The beds rattle and will wake everyone in the room should you turn a fraction on them. All the doors are locked with pin codes sent via WhatsApp and with no staff I dread to think what happened to guests who forgot their phones or let them die before trying to return to their room.
This site has the check out time between 10-11 (a reason for my booking here as I am albino and keep a later schedule then most). But upon my stay multiple messages threatened penalties should I not leave by 10. Even staying over guests must vacate the rooms at 10 wich is insisted upon by staff for cleaning. This is understandable to a degree if not for my experience was waiting for all 4 rooms to be cleaned before I cld return as they where done simultaneously. This drastically interupted my plans and made me late for all my engagements that day.

- Narendra (10/5): -
- Suzana (7/5): bom - dificuldade para localizar.
- Asim (1/5): لم انام جيد زمن المغادرة ضيق - الموقع السرير في الطابق الفوق ليس جيد ان هنالك شخص نائم تحت لايمكن ان انحرك بحرية خوفا من الازعاج
- Colas (3/5): - Le logement le moins cher aux dates auxquelles je voyageais Eloigné du centre, pas de casiers pour les affaires sensibles, lavabo bouché, tout contact dématérialisé avec les proprietaires
- Wasim (1/5): I don't think I will come here again. - It has a kitchen, and the number of beds in the room is small. The place is very far from the city and there are no supermarkets nearby. The staff are very rude and speak loudly. The bed is of very poor quality and shakes constantly. Most of the visitors are marijuana addicts.
- Anaximandro Marlon (1/5): -
- marco (3/5): non è un ostello ma un triste dormitorio!!! basta saperlo! - quartiere silenzioso
fermata autobus vicina ingresso fatiscente (vedi foto)
illuminazione stanza orrenda
doccia non funzionante
letti a castello cigolanti
ingresso con codice molto rumoroso
camerata 4 posti mista
- FUREY (3/5): Very very unprofessional - It was horrible 😢 😫 😞 Because at 5.50 this morning 🌄 I was sent to an email saying that I was to vacatie the primers as soon as I can reason was because of been there at the moment but I'm being told that I'm useless and I'm an anti social behaviour I was taking with with a service I suffer from epilepsy and it's not been but none of the staff would even come out to talk to me as I said that I had one. I thought I was able to have a chat and tell them but they would not have the deasance to let me tell them that epilepsy turn.And now where the cleaner stays about 2 hours, now they are going to try to take money out of my account for the girls to tell me if I can talk to you. Xxxx..
- Imuentinyan Loveth (1/5): - Nothing I did not fancy the environment. The environment right from the wooden door entrance was dirty, and the building looked dilapidated. As a stranger and my first visit to Ireland. I was disappointed with such building and living arrangements of the room. When I booked the accommodation, I had no thought that mixed accommodation means both men and women in the same room. So when I arrived and saw men in the proposed booked room . I immediately felt unsafe living in the building and the room. I had to go seek another accommodation somewhere else to ensure my safety.
In addition, no staff member was available to ensure a smooth check-in process, and I was at the door with no cues to the access code number to gain entrance. I waited outside outside for about 10 minutes until I saw a young lady coming out of the door with her luggage complaining bitterly of the toilet.
- Alexandru (1/5): Unsafe - 2 Windows broken in this property, and at 3 o'clock in the morning 2 drunk mens knock in the door for around 1 hour ,impossible to sleep Never come back
- Alexandru (1/5): D ont take the risk to book this property - D'ont take the rist to book this property, they cancel for no reason ,and you have a chance to sleep in your car or to book another property Window in bed no 3 broken, raining inside the room
- Alexandru (1/5): I will never come back again - Nothing, if you want to book here ,d ont .just add fee euros extra and choose another one if you want to sleep safe They cancel mi reservation for no reason ,i was in the front of the property and they cancel that .just like that

- Matteo (3/5): Cambiate i letti e tornerò - Un posto umile e senza pretese tutto sommato pulito e tenuto bene, molto comodo il check-in automatico. La posizione non è fantastica ma comunque vicina al centro e in un quartiere tranquillo e sicuro. Il letto a castello non era per niente comodo e si muoveva a seconda dei movimenti di chi è nell'altro letto. Non è possibile fare il check-in prima dell'orario pomeridiano indicato da loro a meno che non si paghi.
- Marlies (7/5): - Es gab keinen Sitzraum.
Ich hatte vorher um info gefragt weil Ich am Tag von check-in unterwegs war, aber das wollten Sie nicht geben.
Glucklick habe Ich am Flughafen auf dem Internet einloggen konnen.
