Great location for nightlife and sightseeing—everything you need is nearby! From top to bottom, the staff is friendly and always ready to assist with anything you need. The place is clean, check-in is easy, and there's a convenient laundry service that works smoothly with the app. I had a private room, but as a hostel, I would rate it a 10 out of 10!

It is super clean, both in rooms and common areas. It has an excellent location in the center of Dublin. The staff of the place helped me in everything, they made my stay perfect. The kitchen, refrigerators and utensils layout is in perfect condition, compared to other hostels in the area I have visited, they even offer free coffee all the time. They allow you to store your luggage while waiting for your check-in free of charge. The wifi always worked well. I would like to return.

My wife and I stayed here one night and we had a great stay, we were able to sleep well and the curtains that they put for each bed are very good black out curtains. we took the aircoach bus from Dublin airport to Dublin City Centre, O'Connell St and from there it was just about a 6 minute walk. We slept in a room of 14 mixed and like I mentioned zero problems sleeping throughout the night. the Hostel was nice enough to put my wife and I in the same bunk bed.:)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location for town, we got upgraded from a private twin room with a shared bathroom to a private 4 bed dorm with an en-suite. The room was clean, beds comfy and the staff were really friendly. The breakfast was good, just toast, cold meat, cheese, fruit, salad and soup but a great addition to the already cheap stay.

Good value for money, in that it was cheap and right beside Connolly station. Clean, with a comfortable bed and warm water in the shower. There's a nice bar in the foyer area and they serve good food too. Overall, a good hostel if you're on a budget.

Think youth hostel, dormitories, study rooms, multi cubicle showers and toilets, kitchen, laundry, helpful staff, cafe. Quiet safe clean rooms, solid enclosed bunks with a comfy mattress, shelf, light and charger inside the bunk and a curtain to for privacy. Also a locker/drawer under the bunk for stuff. Didn't hear any noise from any other guest during the night Staff friendly, helpful and efficient Nice area for cafe, old stained glass architecture, relaxed with other guests Outside garden for relaxing, chilled

Best hostel I have ever stayed in. Really clean and comfortable. The bunk bed set up is brilliant - all feels very private and safe. It was quiet at night, I never had to queue for the showers and the lounge / dining and study rooms are excellent. It’s a short walk into town and right by a bus stop. Lots of nice places to eat and drink just minutes away.
