The beds. They squeeked when you even breathed--and that times 16 beds. AHHHH. Also found mixed reviews of the hostel etched into the bathroom stall doors.

This place was terrible. I've stayed at loads of hostels all over Europe and this one has by far the squeakiest beds. It was bad enough that everytime myself or my neighbor above me rolled over we both woke up. The guy at the desk asked if everything was ok during our stay, and when I informed him that the beds were worthless for sleeping, he said "well they are metal, what do you expect?" -- that made me feel like a really valued customer. On top of that, there are no lockers, just lots of creepy drunk guys.

It's really ok. Nothing special. But the staff is nice, the rooms are clean, the showers too. But the breakfast is small, and it's annoying that you have to change the keycard every morning!

Great place! I wanted to stay longer, but I had to leave because it was full.

I hate hostels where you need a card to open the door. We were 6 girls in one room with only one card... the bathrooms are okay, but they are not in every room. There are very many stairs in this hostel. The rooms are not very nice, I didn't know where to put my clothes. The breakfast was bad, 2 toasts, very little marmalade, and a small room. I'm glad to be at home again!

Great location, big clean room (I stayed in a large shared room), clean bathroom, friendly staff. I would definitely stay here if I am ever in Dublin again.
