there was a good time in the four courts in 2005 with good and friendly staff. clean hostel, yes it was! my friend was there last week -- it's just sh*t, not clean, and the staff is not friendly!
I reserved for the female dorm specifically only to find a guy in there one night (rude when I asked him why). When I complained the hostel said they sometimes have to put guys in the female dorms -- for older women like me, this is is bizarre and thoughtless. But young partyers may like the idea. It really is a place for the under-twenty-five crowd -- but even then, only two dirty showers -- months old mildew on the stalls -- and two occasionally working toilets for at least twenty people. The two staff I talked to were friendly enough, but unapologetic about the guy in dorm thing.
i stayed here twice, once for a month and the other for three weeks. love the place, but it is what you make it. like any hostel, the more people you talk to the more fun it is and this is so true of four courts. the first time i stayed there it was fine and i would have recommended it to people but i didnt love it. the second time i spoke to anyone and everyone and it was sooo much fun and i met so many fantastic people.
also the staff are fab, have a chat with them! kitchen is really well equiped and easy to use. only complaint there really needs to be another fridge! longterm rates are also great, and include free laundry each week! i strongly recommend this place to anyone thinking about or planning on going to dublin!
When I booked this hostel I thought I'd be staying in the eighth best hostel in the world. Little did I know that I was about to be very disappointed. We stayed in the mixed dorm of 12 people; attached was a mixed dorm of 16 people. We all shared a tiny bathroom with two toilets and two showers!!! I've never seen anything like this before. It was horrible, and it was dirty and smelly all the time. It was one of the worst hostel experiences I have ever had.
I have been to many hostels before, and I can say very positively this is one of the worst hostels and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone (apart from the drunken geezers on their drunken weekend away ;-)). I have even posted my reviews on HostelWorld (another hostels guide website), and my review was deleted (they censor the "reviews" on HostelWorld)!!! Very interesting, as I saw it on the website when I wrote the review, but it disappeared the same evening. I really wonder why.
This is by far one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Clean, friendly staff, and overall FUN! Trust me when I say, stay here when you are in Dublin!
I have never seen anything like it. No toilet paper in the toilets and worst of all, a staff member abusing a guest. I would never stay there again.
Very nice place. The staff were extremely helpful and relaxed. Everything worked just fine. The kitchen was large and clean. Rooms were quite big (14-16 people). I would go there again!
I was put in a mixed dorm of people who obviously have been living there awhile. The place is a mess. The bathroom stinks of urine. They have the heat turned up so high I just about passed out.
I have no idea why this place was voted best hostel in Dublin because if this is the best they've got I'm terrified to think what the others are like. The people staying at the hostel are unfriendly. The kitchen is too small. You can never find anything in the fridge as it's always being moved because it's too small for the number of people staying. The bathrooms are a joke. The showers stay on for about 10 seconds at a time and smell bad. The only good thing I can say is that a couple of the staff are nice people the rest just need an attitude adjustment. The dorm floors could do with a good clean. I did see a plate sitting on the dorm floor for a week with food slowly turning green on it. Some of the people that have been staying a long time are plainly enjoying living in the filth that they create and the hostel seems to like it that way. They however do not seem to consider that there are other people staying there that don't enjoy it, and the staff are obviously blind to the mess that they are creating. Stay at your own risk.
Besides the toilet not working, this hostel was packed with friendly people, the rooms were good, and the hostel is pretty close to Temple Bar.
We stayed here 3 nights & were in the 16-person room, which was attached to a 12-person room, and we were all sharing two bathrooms & two showers. It was a bit of a joke, but was surprisingly manageable. They had great staff who had fabulous pointers on where to go & what to see--if you're in Dublin, take the train out to Howth for a few hours. It's totally worth the train ride!!
I was only here for one night, but it seemed a good place to be. I'll be staying here next time I'm in Dublin.
I stayed for St. Paddy's Day and it was great. The showers are annoying but you should overlook that. I love the wall painting and the common room is pretty hoppin'. It's not too far away from everything so it was great.
Really friendly staff - much like the locals! This hostel was nicely decorated, had a good breakfast and very comfy beds. It's a bit of a walk into the centre of Dublin, but if you're laden with shopping bags, a taxi back is really cheap!
Friendly staff, central location, and a really cool and comfortable environment make this a safe bet when choosing where to stay in Dublin. Mixed dorms are an added bonus, all manner of shenanigans can happen. :) Have you visited this Hostel? Post your comments here.
