- Sybre (6/5): -
- Farah (7/5): - Clean and breakfast
- Ariel (7/5): -
- Muhammad zaher husnoo (1/5): -
- Randy (10/5): Clean and comfortable bed - Very clean and the bed is comfortable with the polite guest assistant Nothing all is perfect
- Viktoria (7/5): - Etwas außerhalb vom Zentrum Dublin, aber dafür ist die Lage etwas ruhiger.
Frühstück nett mit Cornflakes und Toast mit Marmelade. Und kostenlose Gepäckaufbewahrung mit freundlichem Personal, das war super. Dagegen ist das Zimmer laut, da man direkt neben dem Bad schläft & die Leitungen mit Wasser sehr laut sind und man alles hört. Badezimmer auch recht unsauber, wird einmal um 8:30 Uhr geputzt und dann gegen 15:00 Uhr. Morgens also komplett verdreckt und eklig.
- luca (8/5): Bravi - Posizione ottima e silenziosa. Bagno piccolo,ma doccia spaziosa.Buona scelta per colazione. Esperienza positiva.
- Chiara (8/5): stanza condivisa, un'ottima alternativa economica - la posizione la mancanza di lucchetti per chiudere gli armadietti
- Monique (9/5): - Der Aufenthaltsraum und die Küche oben Es war recht schwer ins obere Etagenbett zu kommen.
- Tamara (9/5): -
- Mathhh (8/5): -
- Mary (9/5): Funky, affordable hostel in the heart of the city. - Stayed here many times & never disappoints. Friendly staff, while the kitchen was busy, other communal areas were very comfortable. Welcome the news that a make over is in the pipeline.

- Eithne (8/5): Convenient, clean, comfortable. - Small and cosy, Lovely sunny roof terrace alongside kitchen/common room. Location was great for me, I was there for an event in Vicar St and it's very close. 11am checkout is great. Only that the lockers/cages didn't have built in lock (via the card key). It should be emphasised that you need to bring your own padlock.

- Marina (8/5): Для короткого проживания - Центральное местоположение,чисто,хороший матрас и постельное бельё,вежливый персонал,тишина (хостел расположен на тихой улице без движения автотранспорта), при этом общественный транспорт в 3 минутах. Завтрак включен в стоимость проживания,но к сожалению я не смогла им воспользоваться так как он с 8:30 утра(считаю что это очень поздно,) в других местах завтраки как минимум с 7 утра…иногда и раньше.
Взяла в аренду полотенце- оказалось дырявым…
Отсутствие электрических розеток в ванной комнате и на этаже (если ваши соседи в комнате спят,а вам нужно посушить голову,то сделать это можно будет на ресепшен или на последнем этаже где кухня 👀
Так же ни одной полочки в ванной комнате чтобы сложить одежду и ванные принадлежности.
Хорошо что было не холодно на улице,так как одно окно было сломано и не закрывалось…
- Lorena (8/5): Sitio cómodo y barato para se Dublin - Estaba limpio. La ubicación no es buena. La calle que da acceso al lugar está llena de yonkis. Da un poco de miedo.
- Martin (7/5): -
- marie christine (8/5): Très agréable petit déjeuner copieux propre parking facile amabilité du personnel efficace em - Tout est bien La pomme de douche fixe
- Daniela (4/5): Desayuno Horroroso - Staff amoroso. El desayuno es casi simbólico. Te dejan un café, pan y mermelada en la mañana (literal).
- Alex (8/5): -
- Yannick (9/5): Bon plan ! - Calme, légèrement excentré mais 10 min de marche et on est en centre .. personnes d’accueil très agréables Ras
- florencia (10/5): -
- Federica (8/5): - L'ostello è in una zona comoda di Dublino, raggiungibile sia a piedi che con i mezzi. L'edificio è bello e ben organizzato. Le camere comode e i letti con la tendina danno abbastanza privacy. C'è un bagno solo per piano, ma per me non è stato un problema. Molto carina la zona comune e la colazione (che però ha scelte solo dolci). Comodissima anche la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli post checkout. Niente
- gokhan (10/5): Suitable place to stay. - Friendly , easygoing brasilian receptionists of the Hostel, good customer service and nice, otantic place to stay. N/a
- Maite (6/5): - La ubicación y el desayuno incluído. La habitación era muy pequeña y estaba muy mal aislada, se escuchaba todo y no pudimos descansar casi nada.
- Esther (10/5): Hostel genial a 20 minutos andando de todas las atracciones - La ubicación aunque no en el centro estaba muy bien.
Estaba todo limpio y la cama era comoda.
La terraza con mirador era agradable
- mark (10/5): Fantastic communication/generaly nice place to stay ! - Everything Nothing
- Clemence (10/5): Auberge super ! - Personnel super et réactif à nos demandes. Auberge sécurisée, chambre spacieuse avec une lit très confortable et intime grâce au rideau.
Lieu de vie bien équipé et propre.
Emplacement super dans une rue tranquille mais a deux pas de tout (10min château, cathédrale, temple bar) arrêt de bus a proximité
Je recommande fortement ! A mon étage 3 salle de bains ( je n'ai jamais attendu) mais des équipements "vétustes" dans l'une d'elle ( évier, pommeau de douche)
Casier sous le lit qui est en métal et qui fait du bruit lors de son ouverture
- Besil quinter (9/5): - The comfy beds with curtains the kitchen AND breakfast aré wonderfull the TV área aré the most confortable the friendly host AND personal always clean like little studio nice idea the desk AND clóset Some times full booked AND to have to change room

- David (3/5): Nicht noch einmal. Vor allem nicht zu diesem Preis. - Personal war freundlich. Gut gelegen. Frühstück, Zustand der Einrichtung, Lautstärke auf dem Zimmer (sehr hellhörig), man hat die ganze Nacht den Aufzug und/oder Nachbarn gehört.

- Liliia (8/5): - Чудовий персонал, зручні матраци, гарна тераса і обідня кімната, прекрасний вид на церкву, нормальний сніданок, чисто, як на хостел. Дуже дуже вдале розташування. Дякуємо! Все ок, за цю ціну.
- Fabio (7/5): Gutes Hostel in super Lage - Die Betten waren sehr gemütlich, das Personal sehr freundlich und die Lage ist top. Preis-Leistung war sehr gut. Das Bad war etwas unkomfortabel. Eine Ablage am Bett wäre hilfreich gewesen.
- Lena (6/5): Akzeptabel - Die Lage war gut und das Bett war bequem Küche war nicht besonders sauber und die Lebensmittel teilweise nicht mehr gut
- Keh Lo (9/5): -
- Vít (4/5): - Dobrá lokalita v centru města.
Pohodlná postel
Doporučuji jen jako krátký a přechodný pobyt. Hluk! Koupili jsme si private doubleroom. Meli jsme ji primo nad vjezdem do garáže - při každém otevření garáže byl v místnosti hluk a dunění. Náš pokoj byl hned vedle společné koupelny - z chodby byl slyšet každý hlas, bouchnuti dveří, dokonce jsme i slyšeli různé zvuky ze záchoda, což není zrovna příjemné.
- Anne (5/5): - Die Betten waren gemütlich und das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit Die Sauberkeit in den Bädern und schimmel an den Bad decken, das Frühstück lieblos auf der Theke.
- Paule (10/5): -
- Ageliki (9/5): -
- Ana (7/5): Muy buena opción si no quieres gastar mucho dinero - Cómodo y con un precio muy asequible Había cerca unas obras en la calle y una puerta de garaje que hacía mucho ruido al abrirse
- Jennifer (10/5): I will certainly be back! - I have stayed at many backpackers in the past. This one rates as the best one. Everything is very well organised. The room was clean and the the bed very comfortable and included bedding. The lockup storage cages under the beds were an unecpected surprise. The bathrooms were clean and the staff friendly and helpful. I was especially impressed with.the well equipped kitchen and the food sharing system. The general use areas are comfortable and there was an outdoor verandah for a breath of fresh air.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and I look forward to returning next time that am in Dublin.
- Alessia (10/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): - This is my second time staying here and it really is one of the nicer hostels I've stayed in.
It has a modern feel to it.
Comfortable beds.
Breakfast provided is good.
Kitchen/common area is a nice space.
Bathrooms are kept clean. A fair bit of beeping noise from the elevator/room doors if not fully closed.
- Scarlett C (7/5): Comfortable stay but could be improved. - The hostel was easy to find and we were able to leave our bags with reception before check in. We never had any of the provided breakfast during our stay but it's good that it's included in the price. Under bed lockers are included and sheets were clean. The waterfall showers had good pressure. The hostel was more shabby than shown in photos and cleanliness could've been improved. For instance the bunk curtains had broken eyelets, there was old chewing gum stuck behind our bed. The floors, including the bathrooms, could've been cleaned better as there were dusty corners etc, the toilets on our floor were also blocked each day.
- Daniel (9/5): Gracias por todo!!! - La estadía estuvo excelente, todo bien. Personal muy atento y de buen trato. El espacio de la habitación era un poco chico, la comodidad del colchón excelente pero faltaba un poco de espacio en la cucheta...era muy baja.
- Lucía (5/5): - Simple breakfast, really simple installations
- H Panesar (9/5): Nice friendly and warm hostel - Staff at front desk were friendly although some were new so they didn't know much about what to do in dublin so that is some feedback to work on.
Beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. The shower was hot and clean and the free breakfast was nice. I think the price was a little high considering the location isn't exactly in the centre. It's at least 20min walk to the centre and that can feel like a lot when the weather isn't great.
- Anna-Lyne (8/5): -
- Jessica (8/5): - nice, quiet area
- Constanza (8/5): Estadía en Dublín en zona tranquila - Aunque no es tan cerca de temple bar nos gustó que sea zona tranquila
- Joaquín (8/5): -
- Thea (5/5): -
- Gueneau (6/5): - 12 euro la place de parking ca fait mal
- Aoife (7/5): -
- GEORGIOS (7/5): -
- Iryna (8/5): -
- Steve (9/5): - It is definitely one of the better hostels in Dublin.
You can find my stay in my Irish Playlist on my YouTube channel ( Morgansworld760) A bit pricey, but i was also there on the week of St Patrick's day
- Eva Pernille (9/5): -
- 봉진 (10/5): - 조식 햇빛...등등 아주 좋습니다 길찾기 어려움...간판 새로 설치원합니다
- Dra Marta (7/5): Aventura - Sossego apesar de ser um hotel e a limpeza e os funcionários brasileiros super simpacticos De termos que comprar cadeados para termos as coisas em segurança.
- Michael (4/5): - Location was central It was not very clean and expensive compared to other hostels. Private bathroom doesn't mean you have an own bathroom. You still have to share it with other's.
- Ireoluwa (9/5): -
- Nnana Givens (8/5): - Everything in order
- Emanuela (8/5): Great value for money. - Close to all amenities.
Staff were very helpful. Good size kitchen.
great value for money.
- Rafa (8/5): . - . .
- olivia (7/5): -
- Daniel (8/5): - One night in a 6 bed which was good sized room. Under bed locker curtain personal lamp and socket. Breakfast of toast and cereal was helpful. Shower head was broken. Great view.
- Sarah (9/5): - Die Küche war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Die Betten waren ne 10von10 Etwas Hellhörig.

- estefania (7/5): -
- El hajjam (9/5): - La cuisine avec la belle vue
- Giorgia (8/5): -
- Lauren (7/5): - I like the curtains on each bed. Each bed has two plugs for each bed. I also like that they have lockable storage under the beds. It was about a 20 minute walk to everything. Not super crazy but still a little farther. Felt safe walking when it was dark out though! It was a bit noisy at night from the outside.
- christine (6/5): - Very good facilities and comfort and location.
- ELENI (8/5): Έμεινα πολύ ευχαριστημένη!! - Το κατάλυμα ήταν πεντακάθαρο !! Οι τουαλέτες ήταν πάντα καθαρές και το κρεβάτι ήταν σε πολύ καλή κατάσταση . Ηταν σε πολύ καλό σημείο κοντά στο κέντρο και πηγαίναμε παντού με τα πόδια . Το πρωινό ήταν οκ για ένα ξεκίνημα της μέρας σου χωρίς να πεινάς . Ανταποκρίθηκε στις προσδοκίες μου !! Δεν υπάρχουν πρίζες στο μπάνιο ή κοντά σε αυτό και είναι πρόβλημα επειδή δυσκολευτήκαμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε το πιστολάκι μαλλιών ή ισιωτικη . Στο δωμάτιο η πρίζα ήταν μακριά από τον καθρέφτη οπότε πάλι δεν μπορούσαμε να τη χρησιμοποιήσουμε για να φτιάξουμε τα μαλλιά μας .
- Lidón (8/5): -
- Zsófia (3/5): Elfogadható szállás max egy éjszakára a városközpontban - A szállás közel volt a központhoz.
A személyzet kedves volt és segítőkész. Sajnos több hiányosság volt mint pozitív tapasztalat:
- Ha késő este 10-11után mentünk fürdeni elfogyott a melegvíz és nen tudtunk fürdeni.
- A reggeli nem igazán nevezhető reggelinek, pár szelet kenyér, egy kis müzli és dzsem, néhány gyümölcs nagy csalódás volt (akkor inkább ne írják hogy breakfast included)
- A wifi folyamatosan lecsatlakozott a staff kedves volt és próbált segíteni de 1-2 óra után megint nem működött
- Rettenetesen hangosan sípol a lift mivel majdnem mellette volt a szobánk nagyon nehezen tudtunk elaludni miatta
