Guest Reviews
- Julma (10/5): - I only spent an evening here but it was great! Everything was clean and well organized and I enjoyed my stay! Shops and pubs within walking distance and easy to navigate. Would definitely stay here again!
- Robert (10/5): - This was an excellent property for anyone looking for a short stay on a budget All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I did have to rent a locker for luggage as I arrived well before check in time due to planned activities on the day but for €8 there are convenient and safe lockers available. And at this time I was allowed access to the property’s WiFi and common areas to prepare. All common areas were well maintained with a spacious self serve kitchen area, with an attached indoor dining area, plus outdoor seating and access to a small laundry. The room I had chosen was as described and clean and safe with plenty of power points and a lockable cupboard for each bed and although some of the shared bathroom facilities were showing their age you could see they were regularly checked and maintained. With an 11am checkout there was also ample time in the morning to refresh and grab a light continental breakfast before departure. I would recommend and wish to thank the staff for all their hospitality and diligent work
- Lisa (8/5): - Very good accommodation I stayed in the room with a private bathroom which was very good. Nice free breakfast and easy walk to transport links.
- Catherine (10/5): - Great cheap nights sleep. It was confusing to find my way around and find the chapel area. 10 minute walk to Oconnell st which was nice, lots of option for.food.
- Isaak (10/5): - Very nice bunks and bathrooms, unique place with very helpful staff and good security.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Disappointing - lack of facilities and storage - I hate leaving bad reviews, especially when I think the intentions are good, but .... it seems that they have upgraded the hostel without actually testing it out. And there is so much that doesn't work. There was one toilet on the 3rd floor for about 30 people. That is abysmal for a modern hostel. And the toilet wasn't even in good condition. The top bunks have no shelf, ledge, any sort of place to put things like phone, glasses, etc, during the night. So simple yet so stupid to leave out and makes it really inconvenient. What are you supposed to do with your phone, glasses, once you get into bed?? There is one central bright light in dorm rooms, no smaller lights for if someone comes in late or gets up early. Again, so simple to add. It's like they forgot to ask backpackers what is needed in a backpacking hostel. There is no elevator to the 3rd floor. It stops at the 2nd. And the elevator is tiny anyways so you probably will end up walking most of the time. They are high ceiling floors, so going up to 3rd floor from garden level is like walking up 8 flights of stairs. On plus side, lovely garden area. But overall, such a shame - some small changes would make such a big difference. But for now, you will be far more comfortable in other hostels.
- Ariel (10/5): - Very nice staff
- Ian (8/5): - Perfectly adequate for a short stay.
- Kaitlyn (4/5): - Gardiner House Hostel had a mistake in our registration on their end, and we ended up having to pay an extra 75 euro because of their glitch on their end - there was no effort on their end to comp the difference even though it was their mistake. The main eating area was sticky and not super clean, and many of the hallways were rather rundown and gross. My room had been recently renovated, so it was clean and beautiful, but smelled strongly of paint fumes the entire time we were there. There was loud music playing in the hallway at all times, and at least in my room, the main overhead light stayed on all night and the light switch didn't work to turn it off. The staff was friendly and kind, but in all honesty, the hostel was kinda like they put lipstick on a pig. Not a great stay!
- Sophie (8/5): - Amazed by the cleanliness of the room and bathroom. Didnt love the location, but close to transport.
- Kieran (10/5): - This was great! Caveat – I think my room was upgraded, since they're doing renovations. Everything was clean and comfortable and I really liked the 'cabin' style bed, really offered privacy. The free breakfast was very basic but, also, free! And it did the job so it's difficult to complain. Only small issue was that due to the renovations there was noise in the morning, starting around 8:30 on a Saturday. Didn't bother me (when else are they going to do the work? Better than it going on at night, imo) but I know some people get upset about this sort of thing.
- Takaho (10/5): - I'm poor at speaking English. So,I asked same things many times to staff there ,but they taught me so carefully, and even took care after that. All staff were very kind.
- Martin (10/5): Great Hostel in Central Dublin - Great hostel. really friendly staff and really clean and presentable.
- Billy (10/5): - Will recommend
- Camilo (10/5): - I really recommend this places easy to walk everywhere and also close to take transportation, guys at the front desk are helpful, definitely I will back there.
- Marlena (8/5): - The hostel was clean, conveniently located and reception was very helpful.
- Wan Amril (8/5): - It was a 15 minute walk from the nearest LUAS stop, which is the only mode of transportation to my workplace. Apart from that, everything else met my expectations
- jorg (2/5): - Uy
- Jeffrey (8/5): - Needs some updating but good location
- Carmen Y (6/5): - Convenient if they have a good price offering. Breakfast is pretty basic with no protein offering. Rooms, beds and linen are clean
- Raymond (8/5): - This place is like the Tardis: small on the outside, but big on the inside. I got lost for a brief moment because I wasn’t paying attention on how I got to my room. 😬
- steven (8/5): - The kitchen staff were very friendly each morning. The area itself is rather noisy at night as windows needed to stay open to ventilate the rooms.
- Russell (10/5): Suited the purpose of my stay - Suited the purpose of my stay, nice big building, check-in was easy. My only gripe would be, it could be explained more that the address is UPPER Gardiner Street (I made the mistake of looking for it in Lower Gardiner St).
- Sylvia (10/5): - Staff was amazing and helpful. Everything was clean and many helpful options to relax around. The only downside is the laundry which the dryer barely works. Best to take your clothes down the block for a couple Euro’s more. Overall an amazing experience. Would recommend!
- Julia (10/5): - This is a very comfortable space with friendly staff. We had a two person room, and the beds were comfortable and bedding lovely. The breakfast is modest, but we weren’t really planning on it, so that’s fine.
- Ashley (2/5): - Mold in the showers. They close access to the laundry room when the kitchen is closed but don't tell you that, and the laundry room sign says it's open all day. Also the dryers are terrible and will just stop working but still eat up your money ($3/90 minutes of electricity). Even the staff dryer took 2 hours to dry a small load and you have to sit there the whole time because the staff take your stuff out (they didn't take it out of the staff dryer - they took it out of the regular washer and I walked in 2 minutes before my time was supposed to be up) Gate code for parking changes every Tuesday but they don't tell you that, so you come back late Tuesday night not sure why it won't work and have to park in the alley while you run in and get the new code. Chapel 19 is stifling hot. Miserable. Gendered shower/toilet rooms but not sure why because each is a separate room with a door. But the men have a nice big walk-in shower for the bathroom that goes with Chapel 19 & 6. Women only get small showers. Also no shelves or anything to put your shower stuff on in the shower. No shelves or curtains in the dorms so very little privacy and no place to put your stuff. Don't hang your towel on the bed posts to dry - staff will remove them and they charge for towels. The breakfast is not what they advertise. Toast with 2 types of jam and 3 kinds of cereal. Stairs with torn carpet (trip hazard) This hostel is way too expensive for the quality it is.
- Christine (10/5): - The room was what I expected. Fairly quiet after about 11:00pm.
- Robert (6/5): - While I stayed in a private double room with ensuite on the top floor, this was still a hostel. My room overlooked the very noisy street at the front, and there were loud young people screaming down the hall. This did stop after 1030 pm. The room was very plain and clean, the bathroom institutional looking. Some fast takeout food joints nearby. Very close to coach stop for the airport. My bus, however, never came, likely stuck in a traffic incident. Overall, quite an expensive and stressful stay. Dublin accommodation is as expensive as London’s, with less variety of rates. I’m sure it’s a great hostel though for those who don’t mind them. Plus Taylor Swift was in town so that May account for a few things.
- Mark (10/5): - The price is exceptional compared to other hostels. I don't know how they do it.
- Elyse Wan-Ping (10/5): Cozy Comfort and Warm Hospitality - My first night in Dublin was spent at Gardiner House Hostel. Arriving late at the check-in counter, I was greeted warmly by the female staff. Her friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease, especially since it was my first visit to Ireland and I was unfamiliar with the country. The atmosphere of the hostel was welcoming, with clean and comfortable accommodations that exceeded my expectations for a budget-friendly stay. The common areas were well-maintained, providing opportunities to socialize with other guests or simply relax after a day of exploring the city. In addition to the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere, Gardiner House Hostel also offered convenient amenities such as free Wi-Fi and complimentary breakfast, adding value to my stay. Overall, my experience at Gardiner House Hostel was excellent. I would highly recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a welcoming and affordable place to stay in the city.
- Deborah (10/5): - Check in staff member wa friendly and efficient.
- Tony (2/5): - Loud and hot
- Brigid (8/5): Out of the fray - Easy access to airport
- Hannah (10/5): - Great hostel! Highly recommend
- Muhammad Hassan khan (6/5): - Nice
- Eva Mae (10/5): - Would recommend if staying in Dublin and looking for somewhere to sleep at a reasonable price. There is a common kitchen that you can use and stock food in. Bathroom are common but still give a sense of privacy. Great place to meet new people andthe service is good. Breakfast included in price, staff very kind and helpful. It's very safe and has a good atmosphere the only issue might be that I would have perhaps preferred a larger locker space that could fit all my things so as to feel even more comfortable.
- Khrystyna (8/5): - Shared room with very loud young girl- who decided to blow dry her hair in 5am inside the room- also when came back to room at night - also was very loud and talked on the phone at night. Other wise the stay was pleasant
- marguerite (10/5): - I reviewed earlier on my check in i wasn't pleased but when i got my room it was clean complimentary coffee and pot along with tea if thats your preference along with water it was nice the bathroom was always clean breakfast was on time and good the receptionist staff was good i was satisfied thanks Gardiner staff.
- Sean (10/5): - Very nice space and very affordable! Had a great time, and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast option as well! Easy to socialize if you want, and also easy to stay to yourself.
- Elbee (10/5): - This was my first stay at a hostel, I was very favorably impressed. The people at the desk were very helpful and well informed. The facilities were great providing space and convience for meal prep, storage and refridgeration. Secure luggage storage, lockers available. Even books to read and guitars to play. Outside eating areas as well as a great dining area. Everything was kept clean.
- Regina (8/5): - 1 night stay here for Dublin marathon. Convenient location as the hostel is central and about 20 minutes walk from start line. Breakfast was good to get as part of my stay.
- Victoria (10/5): - Great stay for the price. Satisfied with my stay
- Cindy (8/5): - Great place to stay before flight
- Rodick (10/5): - The staff at the front desk are EPIC! Fast, Friendly, and knowledgeable about the area
- Rodick (10/5): - Very friendly staff and a great time. As a first time Hostle stay for me it was a fantastic experience.
- Ajmal (10/5): Better than a Budget Hotel - First time in Hostel, pleasantly surprised. Great experience, better than my usual stay at Easy Hotel at double the price! Friendly staff, clean facilities.
- Francisco (8/5): - Great ubicación
- George (10/5): - Great place to stay, has everything you need. Breakfast is good value. Very walkable from city centre. Staff all really nice. Only thing is sensor lights in bathrooms are a bit annoying, lights switch off every couple of minutes so you have to keep moving.
- tayyab (8/5): Ali - Very good place to stay near city centre very nice people and staff very helpful
- Stuart (8/5): Par for the price and location - Cheap and cheerful hostel located in a good location, not too far from O'Connell Street and some good bars/restaurants. The staff were friendly and the accomodation had everything you need from a hostel. The mattress wasn't super comfortable but fine for a couple of nights...as always with places like this - it's the people you meet that make it an experience and there's plenty of cool/friendly people staying here
- Matthew (10/5): Good Hostel - A nice well kept city hostel, cheap enough with clean rooms and an ok breakfast - not cooked, but sufficient.
- Laura (8/5): - Nice place to stay but if they say you have to be quiet at night to don't disturb others, why do they allow to have parties with loud music after 11:00 pm? It was hard to sleep having. The bathroom has also a bit of mold. You will receive a tidy and a clean bed. The breakfast is good ( cereales, milk, toast, butter, jams, orange juice, hot chocolate, apples, oranges, a bananas) you can get anything you want. You also have to leave a deposit in cash or a card detalles ;-)
- Chris (10/5): - The staff were great!
- Georgina (8/5): - Really good location, room was okay apart from one bed was very uncomfortable. Staff were great, facilities great and the garden area was absolutely lovely!
- Su (2/5): - Unfriendly staffs, loud and not clean
- Joseph (10/5): Great place to stay - Customer service was great, check-in and out was easy and the option to store luggage was perfect as it meant we did not need to carry our luggage around with us all day. Rooms were spacious and clean and I loved having a TV and a kettle in the room. I just wish there were more pillows provided / more support for the neck when sleeping. Breakfast was a nice surprise as there was plenty to choose from. Overall I would recommend Gardiner House Hostel for anyone looking for an affordable stay in Dublin.
- Ruth (6/5): - We liked the fact that it was clean and overall a friendly and safe place to be. Our room was street side and also took the afternoon sun. Because the room had very little circulation it was way too hot with no way to cool it down, even though the temperature outside was moderate. We had to keep the window closed because of the street noise.
- Gunta (8/5): - Good location for a few days' visit to Dublin, value option
- Conor (10/5): - Best hostel in Dublin
- Keyara (10/5): - Checking in and out was a breeze, the property was very nice and clean. In walking distance of lots of restaurants, bars, salons, etc. Only complaint was that there were a couple out of order bathrooms and that left me waiting for their availability. I would absolutely stay here again, thanks to the wonderful staff!
- Edwin (6/5): - It’s not the people fault cause it was a holiday but during my stay I was very uncomfortable with being with too many people inside the room. Besides the smell was strong , guys pukka hard to used bathroom. I didn’t stayed the full night and left the property very early. Again was New Year’s Day so makes perfect sense experience this issue. Staffing was great very friendly and cute
- Jennifer Marie (10/5): - Affordable, great overall environment. Friendly travelers and one of the few places to offer free breakfast at an affordable price to stay. The walk is not too bad to get to the main city area. It states 20-30 mins walking but I found myself doing it in 15-20 mins instead. There are plenty of bathrooms to freely use without feeling like someone is holding a line. The TV room and dining area with the pool table were also nice areas to just relax and hang out. The kitchen to freely use to cook and keep your ingredients in a cubby was very efficient. My one slight issue was that the pillow was too flat and the mattress but it didn't stop me from having a full sleep. Overall great experience. I would do it again in the same place.
- Kaweesa (10/5): - K
- fiona (4/5): - Checkin was good. "included breakfast" is just toast and fruit. Mattresses are horrible. Even for a hostel! Springs sticking into my back... and I'm not a very big person... I could only image a bigger person on these. Place is relatively clean.
- Jennifer (8/5): - Easy to get to. Lovely breakfast. Interesting property.
- Peter August (10/5): - Gardiner House made Dublin feelin like home.
- TAMARIA (10/5): - It was not in the main city center but it was close.
- TAMARIA (10/5): - It was away from city center but close to walk to
- Bissell (8/5): - People were nice. Good crowd. Rooms were clean. Facility less so. People didn't follow the rules - maybe that's normal. The walk into the center of the city was a bit farther than I was wanting, and the neighborhood has been impacted by the refugees and many services were closed around there - restaurants, etc... Had to go farther for a good meal.
- Lyle (10/5): - The property was in a nice area. Quiet. Well kept and clean. Lots of bathrooms/showers so I never had to wait. The breakfast was plentiful and the staff kept everything available. Nice selection of food and fresh fruit. The front desk people are extremely helpful with questions and suggestions. Good security for access.
- Jan (6/5): - The staff was pleasant, but didn't mention there's a tv room with sofas and I've found out about it only at my check out. That wasn't great besause the weather was fairly cold outside and so were the communal areas in the basement. Other than that the hostel is quite far walking from the centre, but there are busses around. The room itself, well it's really poorly ventilated with bathroom attached to it, so the chapel room is super humid. There's plenty of black mould on the pretty chapel windows and in the bathroom. Beds are comfortable, but the room has very strong Led lights that if someone switches on i. The middle of the night, you can be sure it will wake you. Evening else with the hostel was fine, I'm sure the nice communal yard in the summer must be great, but unfortunately I've visited in November:)
- Verified traveler (8/5): 設備はいいが、サービス、場所が不便 - 受付時にデポジットを求められましたが、控えの発行をしぶられたのが不満。またen suite の部屋を予約したのに違う部屋を割り与えられ、en suiteでなかったのも不満でした。共用のバスルームはやはり汚く清掃管理シートはあるものの、サインだけしているようでした。ダブリンの中心部から徒歩で20分はするので、荷物が多い人にはお勧めしません。バスを使うのであればいいですが、他のホステルが中心部にたくさんあるので次回はそちらを使おうと思います。また、建物に入るたびにスタッフが扉を開ける仕組みなので、タイミングが悪いとエントランスで待たなければいけないのも不満でした。
- Lucy (8/5): - Very good location , right at the bus stop (and I paid 20 euro for the taxi from the airport!!!) Staff is very friendly. However, big rooms are kinda cold ;/ heater turns out at night only
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I like everything about it, like, location, cleanliness, staff's friendly manners etc
- Ellen (10/5): - Good value for price
- Ashling (10/5): Good experience, and would definitely recommend! - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen, dining, and terrace facilities were excellent! The room and bathrooms were all very clean. Will definitely be returning when I'm next in Dublin! The only downside was the road noise, but that can't be helped.
- Marcel (10/5): In my opinion Dublins best Hostel - The Hostel is nice and clean, the staff friendly and all essential services are provided, they have a luggage room and let you leave your luggage for free after your departure / between stays, I lived in total 2 months at this Hostel and it's my favourite in Dublin. I recommend the 4/6 bed dorms for people who need a good night's sleep, because the large dorms are really unpleasant especially the 32 bed room is a bad experience.
- Hope (10/5): - This place was clean and safe. The safe were willing to answer all of our questions. It wasn’t a far walk to the restaurants or shopping, depending on were you are wanting to go.
- Tom (10/5): - Good value but you pay the penalty for sharing.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Too noisy as property on a busy road, couldn’t sleep properly. Dorms too small. Towels provided for 1EUR.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good location, uncomfortable beds - Location wise was ok, and the structure was mainly clean. I was in a shared dormitory for 6 people, and on a floor of 4 dormitories, there were only one toilet and two showers. Beds were not comfortable whatsoever. The ladder to the upper bunk bed was too high up from the floor that I had to jump every time I needed to get up (I'm not a short person, luckily), the mattress was uncomfortable and every time and it had a metallic base that made loud noises every time one turned. Breakfast was included: no healthy options, just a big spread of sugary things, full fat milk and the bare minimum of fruit, which wasn't worth it, especially as it gets laid out in the kitchen and people have to drag it to a separate dining room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location, cost, security and cleanliness were excellent.
- Funmi (10/5): - It was a really nice hostel, clean, friendly staff and in a good location. I will definitely like to stay there again
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I liked that it was spacious, plenty room for common areas, individual bathrooms so no one is rushing you. It was 15 min walking distance to main street, buses were close by. Downfall, Wifi was hardly working, the washers and dryers were barely functional. Overall good stay.
- Andreas (10/5): - Really clean. Really friendly and helpful staff. Safe parking at a price of 10 euro per day and laundry tokens (wash and dry) with cleaning powder available for 7 euro. Kitchen with all amenities available to cook and store your staff as well as simple but free breakfast.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean well run but a bit too big to provide the intimate hostel experience you want -- about a kilometer off down town so adds a bit to exploring. Staff efficient but not interactive.
- Garry (8/5): A Successful 1st Hostel Stay - My first time in a hostel but a spacious and clean place displaced many fears. Staff were friendly, breakfast and hot drinks were an added bonus as I used the dining area to work during the day. The room I slept in was clean, had a loud snorer in one of the beds but that is the gamble when staying in a room with 6 or 7 strangers! Would stay there again for sure if over in Dublin for work or in a group that booked out a whole dorm.
- Suzanne (6/5): Only once in my lifetime - Need to be clear about parking and limited space, front staff wasn't able to provide local parking garage to park till something opened on their lot. Bring alot of coins for parking on the street 2 per hour. Breakfast choice of cereal and toast needs to include bagels or toaster waffles or pancakes. Within walking distance of downtown. Room was good size and comfortable. Bathroom for the floor was very large. Picnic table in the back for socializing was nice. Was able to leave our luggage while we went into town. Pricey for a hostel with 10.00 parking extra if available.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Desk staff were very helpful and the location was great.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Spacious and clean. You have charging points by the bed. Kitchen is a good size and is cleaned regularly. The rooms got a bit warm at night though and you can hear everything.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean, up to date hostel, with helpful staff and great location
- Vicky (8/5): Good hostel for the price. - Good hostel over all. The staff is nice and the price are good. The chapel experience is a bed in a 18 person room.. bring some earplug and a eye mask because there's a lot of movement and door opening during the night (the toilet are outside the room).
- ANGELICA (10/5): - A excellent staff, good breakfast, rooms perfects, clean hostel.
- Jiem (8/5): good and safe enough for a 3 days citytrip - Not so safe area or place to leave one's bike; also have you booking number ready to hand at reception.Very close to lively buzy street of Asian electronic shops toward city centre. Excellent showers, and converted covent worth viewing
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very comfortable and good location
- Radim (8/5): - Wonderful
- Kamal (8/5): Recommend - Nice place and great staff
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The location is quite far from downtown. Some staff is nice, but one member openly laughed at me when I asked why there was only one functioning women's toilet on a floor of over 40 people. He said it "was never a problem" - but it was several times on our floor. People running to other floors. The two men's toilets on our floor never had paper. We all had to use the other floors' bathrooms, which annoyed (understandably) the women there. The showers were laughably bad - no water pressure, broken heads, etc. The cleaning staff was rude all the time.
- Hao (8/5): - It’s clean Stayed in 6 bed hostel which was okay It’s a hostel experience
- Verified traveler (10/5): I would go back to this hostel. - "Clean" hostel. Bathrooms are convenient to use. Soap dish and shower caddy would be nice though. I dropped my soap container with my soap in it many times. (yuck!) I just rested it on the shower handle. Also no place to put your shampoo and conditioner bottle but on the floor. Another yuck! Staff cleans even the base board of the hallways but they don't change gloves when cleaning ( after transferring trash into a big plastic bag by hand then they use the same gloves to touch and change new hand towels in the bathroom. Same thing after cleaning the toilet bowl. Eeeks! They think they're not spreading germs because their hands are covered in gloves. Big kitchen but the fridge needs to be more organized. A supervisor checks the room if the housekeeper did a good job. Bed is made of spring: not very comfortable, pokes my back ( I've had shoulder injury and surgery) but I asked for another blanket to add a layer on my bed. It helps. Staff was accommodating and helped me with this request. I really appreciate it.
