Great location, liked the kitchen, nice and helpful staff, free hostel events... — Customer review (2012-01-03) Hostelbookers

Great location, right next to Temple Bar and best kitchen I've seen at a hostel; super big, plenty of dishes and cookware and always very clean. — Jamie Gordon (2011-12-19) Hostelbookers

location + staff — Customer review (2011-12-16) Hostelbookers

The location within Dublin was good and the staff were all very helpful with my inquiries. — Customer review (2011-12-12) Hostelbookers

This was the second time I have stayed in this hostel as the staff are friendly, the location is central and the rooms are clean. Would definitely stay here again. — Customer review (2011-12-12) Hostelbookers

Great place, excelent position, very friendly and nice, really nice and helpful staff, nice atmosphere... :) — Ioana Lungu (2011-11-28) Hostelbookers

It is very spacious and clean, the lobby has hundreds of discounted things for you to do, and a homemade book of free things to do as well, and everynight they have a free hostel event such as "cheese and wine night" or "icecream and biscuits". The kitchen was always bustling with friendly people cooking dinner, and there was plenty of space for everywhere with couches and tvs. The showers have the best water pressure I've ever seen in a hostel, and even the bathroom has tons of room. — Sadie Higgins (2011-11-23) Hostelbookers

Great location, very friendly staff and clean amenities. And there was something different on every night. — Kathleen Goodrick (2011-11-16) Hostelbookers

It is next to Trinity College so easy to find, just head for any Trinity College signs. Probably best to book the tours that leave from hostel because at least you know they will be on time unlike the one I booked with another company (because I did not want to see the farm on the one offered at the Times) and this company had incorrect times on their website. Next time would book the tour with that picks up at the Times. — Caitlin Young (2011-11-11) Hostelbookers

I had a really great time at this hostel and met some cool people. It was a little crowded being in a 12 person room but for the price it was definitely worth it! The staff was great and the location was as good as it gets! — Customer review (2011-10-10) Hostelbookers

I love it. The best hostel I have ever been in. Location was fantastic :) — Annika Ritari (2011-09-24) Hostelbookers

Even though i had trouble finding it (guess i am bit blind) it is a very good location with walking distances from attractions. — Customer review (2011-09-13) Hostelbookers

The staff was very nice and helpfull and the location is perfect to see everything in Dublin. — Customer review (2011-09-11) Hostelbookers

This hostel was awesome! It was very clean, the staff were superb and the people I met there were great! The location is amazing your walking distance from everything that is good..when I go back to Dublin I am DEFINITELY coming back to this hostel! — Customer review (2011-09-05) Hostelbookers

We stayed for 2 nights in a double private room. We were checked in by Brig who was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was basic but a fair size and clean. Breakfast was basic (cereal, toast & juice) but good enough to start the day. The hostel offers free events each day such as a free dinner on Wednesdays which we were there for and the food was great. We did the free walking tour they advertised and it was also excellent. Very happy with the accommodation and would stay again. — Geoffrey Colla (2011-09-02) Hostelbookers

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews

Great Location Really great staff, and perfect location. However internet is expensive (1 Euro for 15 mins), and the breakfast was average. Also the pub crawl and free walking tour can be done by anyone from any hostel/hotel, so don't go there just for that. Overall its pretty good value if the price is low, but if its high go elsewhere. — Micky D , Australia (2011-10-16)
