COOL PLACE cool place ,staff really friendly. kitchen open 24 hours and they looked after my luggage free of charge on day of departure. will be back.
S**thole Stayed there for one night with some friends. We booked a room in the D1 Hostel, but they send us to the Chelsea instead. The hygiene in this place was a nightmare. The 1st, bathroom I took a look in had its toilet filled with crap and other funny stuff, flushing the toilet lead to a nice little sh*t pond around the toilet. The bathroom one floor lower, was better. Showers were hot, but the drain was blocked too. They have a separate house in the backyard in which some friends of mine stayed in, it is right below the Dart Line. Worse than that, however, was their bathroom. The walls looked like someone smeared all kinds of body fluids on them. Friend of mine got a rash on the next morning from the beds. Can't really say anything about my bed, cause I havent seen in it at light. Just try to stay somewhere else.
Grand I thought it was fine. We were just staying in dublin after going to Metallica so we werent looking for luxury. Its a bed and its cheap. ill be coming back.
Health hazard the owner of chelsea hostel is also the owner of city manor hostel gardiner street dublin 1. his name is michael, hes from donegal and he is a pervert, liar, and very deceiving. how on earth he got health and safety 2 pass both hostels is a mystery. when i stayed at hostel at christmas 2009, a girl from sweden was found dead in dorm. THE SCUMBAG from donegal showed no remorse, it was only then we found out from a dude that worked there that 10 to 12 people die in the hostel every year. no wonder, the place is filthy, urine, blood all over bedrooms, he also lets heroin junkies stay. greed is a terrible thing. he pays no tax for the people that work for him, no payslips. this place needs to be closed down. A.S.A.P.
Not so bad All right Chelsea is not four stars, but the atmosphere is worth seeing! I came with a group of francais and we stayed in this hotel for a week in September. If we had to return in Dublin, we would return to Chelsea without any hesitation. We made beautiful meetings with the other foreigners boarders, the staff were very friendly, and helped a lot to us for seeing good things. It is necessary to be just open and speak english a little.
It is all of it I have lived in this hostel for six months. Lucky, I have stayed in room with long term stayers one from Latvia and two from Portugal. So it was ok. The bathroom is a hell on the Earth only to be used after morning cleaning around 10 a.m. Only one shower for the hundred-forty guests. The owner is a heavy cocaine user from Donegal and his brother is daily drunker staying at this hostel. He is a teacher, staying in the basement. Sometimes you can see the owner (Michael), usually on Monday, running through this hostel yelling on the guests still having cocaine stain bellow his nose. The people working there, are his slaves working for couple euros, all of them staying at the place owned by the same cocaine idiot. If you are looking for one night stay -- is ok. For long stay -- only for strong nature. But is cheaper and more comfortable to rent a room in a share house.
Good I spent a night in this hostel and to me it is good. Very cheap! The dorm room was big and clean. The toilet is good as well! The staff kind and friendly! I really don't share any one of the bad impressions!
Halfway house for homeless drunks Stayed in this hostel for three nights and was scared from the experience. The second night we were there, a drunk man staying in our room came in at midnight threatening us with violence and threw a bunk bed across the room. He was thankfully taken away by police. The third night we were there, there was a homeless man passed out in the kitchen. He was taken away by the ambulance. Had to sleep with one eye open the whole time we were there. Dirty and disgusting. Full of drug dealers and homeless drunks.
Disturbing I stayed in this place a couple of months back. After coming back from a nearby bar I was greeted by the idiotic owners from Donegal who also thought they were scottish. One idiot called Omar was jumping around the place throwing threatening abuse to everybody, he was obviously high on coke as his googly eyes were about to pop out of his ridiculously fat head. As for the accommodation, what can I say, disturbing in every sense. The place was like something from Schindlers list but with colder showers. The owners should be charged with crimes against humanity.
Like an episode of fear factor kind of a tourist attraction as it has "the worst toilet in ireland" TM,
even worse than the one in trainspotting. Laughable how much of a crack den it is. But this is why I go back every time. Just to prove that I can make it and survive these sort of conditions. If you're not a gambler at heart better skip this place and play it safe in a nice clean and cosy hostel somewhere else.
Lowest was one star -- don't even deserve that Me and a friend stayed here one night because the radar broke down at the airport. What a dump, the mattress had marks of dried urine and the smell was terrible. Toilets (more than one working this time) were full of crap and no paper (wouldn't used it anyway other than to number one standing). Since our flight was delayed until the morning after we asked the reception to wake us up at 7 a.m., but we woke up by ourselves at 7:30. Words can't describe this place, they should make it a tourist attraction for everyone to see and cry. Did i forgot to mention all the flies in the room?
F*ck this hostel The worst place. The reception is aggressive and bad, very bad ways. Everything is disgusting here. Please don't stay here. There is only one shower for the entire hostel. For the prize of a night go to a nearby hostel, better than this. The head is a corrupt. F*ck the staff. The government of ireland have to close this sh*t.
Indescribable We lasted an hour at this hostel. We would not even let our dogs sleep in this place. It is the dirtiest, smelliest place in existence. We would much rather sleep on the street. Good luck to those thinking of staying there.
Smelly pisshole This place stank rotten. It was a good brew of stinkiness. Words can't describe this dump.
Relaxed and good value I stayed there for over four months when i worked in Dublin and it was a home from home. I got on well with all staff and had no problem at all. If i was not in Chelsea then it could not be possible for me to be in dublin as it was best value and you can believe me i checked everywhere.
