Pretty nice
I wasn't quite sure what to expect but in the end I was pleasantly surprised. The place was clean and the folks working there were friendly except one short guy seemed a bit gruff at times but he bought me a beer later on so it's all good. All in all I had a pretty fun time staying here and when I was bored I had free wi-fi to use to kill some time on the net as well, so all smiles.

A recommended place to stay!
The Brewery Hostel is a very good place to stay. The staff is friendly and helpful (locals, who know everything about their town!) and the house itself is centrally located -- it's only ten minutes' walk to Temple Bar. The rooms are spacious and clean (compared to other hostels I've been even very clean) and on Thursdays you're offered a free barbecue -- great chance to meet other travelers, don't miss! Stayed here in August -- Dublin is really beautiful in summertime. If you make it to Dublin, The Brewery Hostel is the place to stay!

Dangerous and Dishonest -- stay away!
The verdict on this place is simple -- don't stay here! The hostel is not only far from the city (fifteen- to twenty-minute walk from O'Connell Street) but also in the worst street in Dublin (Thomas Street), which is full of criminal elements. I know this because the Garda (Irish Police) told me outside! Just take a look at the locals and the environment around. I stayed here when reviewing hostels and many people were unhappy about the service. The security is poor -- things went missing/stolen and staff merely said security cameras aren't working and ignored it. The staff are rude -- especially the black-haired chick who snarls at people when they are taking breakfast in the morning and shouts at them. "She's been like that for years" say Reception, and allow it. And worse still, Brewery Hostel has another building next door which is simply a slum. They check backpackers in here! It's surely illegal and has been reported to Dublin Tourism Authorities. In short, this place is dodgy. It is the shame of Dublin hostels. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Unfortunately it is a reality in hostels that sometimes people steal. We offer a free lock up service at the reception desk, which everyone who checks in is told about and which there are signs posted about. Sometimes people choose not to do this and things go missing. One thing I can guarantee is that it certainly is not my staff that takes these things. They have far easier access to far more valuable things than an individual camera for instance and most of them have been working here for between six months and two and a half years. Think about it. If you have a good stay somewhere and we tell you about bus tours and bicycle routes and call restaurants for you and show you directions around the city you say "Bye! Thanks for everything, you guys are awesome! See you again next year!" and off you merrily go. But if something goes wrong for you, you get out your poison pen and go hunting for internet sites. And sometimes you add extra problems that you never reported to the front desk because they never happened. Thanks to computers I can see that from when I started in mid-April through Saturday, Oct. 14th, fourteen thousand, six hundred thirty-three beds have been booked here. With an average two-day stay that's seven thousand, three hundred sixteen people. You do the math on who's been happy and who's not. You're always welcome to come and see the facilities here at the hostel for yourself. We have many repeat customers and many who stay for long periods of time. Please keep in mind that just because an individual backpacker has written a review, this does not mean it's an unbiased or truthful review. Chris Brewery Hostel [This is a management response]

I had a very good time in this hostel. I was positively surprised of the cleanliness (rooms, bathroom, kitchen), which was definitely over average! In the night it was quiet, so we could sleep very good! Although everybody could come and go the whole night long. The free internet access is great! The included breakfast was more than enough. The staff was especially friendly! I forgot my glasses in my room and they didn't hesitate to send it back to me to Germany! If I will be again in Dublin I will stay at the brewery hostel again!

We have been in several hostels in the past, but this is the worst place we have ever been. It is very dirty, especially the rooms (I was beaten by bugs in the linen), the water supply is really poor and frequently cut, the room smelled awful (guinness factory very close), they robbed our cameras in the room (with the doors closed, so the staff is suspicious). A place to take to the court.

The inside of the hostel was clean, and there was free breakfast, a kitchen, social area and Internet. The long termers there, though, took over everything and didn't make anyone else feel welcome, (unless you were blonde, female, 18 years old etc.). It's a 10 to 15-minute walk to Temple Bar, and four minutes to the Guinness Factory. If you can avoid going out the back do it, because you won't like what you see. A very large rubbish dump in the backyard, it was disgusting, but that is also where the cars and Shamrocker Buses park. Other than that the rest of the hostel is clean.

This hostel is good. The staff were very friendly and the facilities were clean enough. The basement smells a bit like mold and the kitchen entrance was outside. They were revarnishing doors when we were here and so the smell was a little strong. But we found out the smoke alarms worked well, we had a bathroom in our room, and we always got a smile at the front desk. It's in a great location if you are wanting to go to the Guinness Brewery, but a bit of a hike to anything else (like Temple Bar). But all in all, it is a pretty cool place with lots of people to meet and at a reasonable price. I will definitely be visiting again.

Great place to stay. The guys in charge have made sure the rooms and dorms are very comfortably decorated and, a rarety on the backpacker scene, the mattresses are real and not just a piece of foam!
