I recently stayed at a hostel in Dublin. That hostel was Bective Hostel, of 2 Eglinton Terrace, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, Ireland. I'm very displeased with the situation I was put in this past weekend while visiting it and the lack of facilities that they said they had and actually didn't. The manager was horrible. The pay phone at the hostel did not work, so he told me if I had an emergency, that I could go down the road and use another pay phone, instead of the one at the desk. I do not consider toast to be breakfast. They did not have Internet access or a computer. Linen was not included with my bed, and my friend's sheets were dirty. There was no 24-hour reception, and there was lock out because I was locked out at 2:30 in the morning on Saturday night. I was banging on the door for 45 minutes and still no one came. I yelled in the open window of the room that the manager was sleeping in and he still did not get up. I ended up climbing into his window, and walking around to let my friend in. The manager smoked every night, while there was a large sign that said no smoking in the hostel due to Irish law. When I asked to be given the number of the owner of the hostel this man refused. We left a day early and stayed somewhere else, because we did not want to be locked out after being out at night. This place was horrible.
