Reviews of Dublin Quayside Hostel

Good location

No elevator??? Dirty bathrooms.

Nothing worst hostel I see so far I didn't even sleep when I see it I left and booked another hotel

Reception guy is so nice and helpful and beautiful smile he really makes you feel welcome.

Noise in lobby and room next to lobby you can hear it. Loud Spanish people talking very loudly til very late. Should be quiet policy after 11pm in lobby. Also seems to be a lot of people living in the hostel which I don’t like.

The Dublin Quayside is a good hostel, though it is almost impossible to find because it is unmarked. The young man who checked me in was superb. The room was comfy and I appreciated not being in a bunk bed. The location is great. All in all, I had a good experience.

The only thing I really didn't like was not being able to locate it. I was very lucky and grateful that someone staying at the hostel walked in because I would have been looking forever.

Great staff, nice vibe, people are friendly. Great location.

Not that clean but OK. You won't have access to the kitchen unless you stay for more than one week which is odd. Beds aren't that comfy. Some of the showers are clogged and water builds up especially the ones upstairs. Regular service is required indeed. I find increasing the prices on the weekend is unfair as it is already expensive for a hostel (I know Dublin is an expensive city but still ...)

location, check-in, kind receptionist, bed.

the room was facing the street and was very noisy, so i couldn't sleep. this didn't bother the other room mates. hygiene could be improved.

Well connected with the city center, not as expensive as other accommodations and also quiet then other more centric hostels. Reception is open 24 h and staff was really great and accommodating, my locker had a broken lock and they fix it for when we came at night. They also kept our luggage after we check out so we could do some more visiting on the city before heading to the airport. Has a spacious hall with tables where you can relax or have lunch and free coffee and tea.

Personally I think more shared bathrooms will be a plus, we needed to go to the below floor to the toilet. But this was not a great deal to be fair. Fits the purpose and the price compare with other places in Dublin. Maybe indications of the name outside? We were confused as it’s not indicated that that’s a hostel

The biggest thing with this hostel is that everyone has their own beds, no bunks. Makes sleeping alot easier and there is less people on each room.

There's no sign for the hostel, so you just have to find the door on the street and hope for the best. They're is also a beer garden right beside it, so noise levels can be quite loud, so not great for sensitive sleepers. The pillow provided also could use replacement.

Nothing

Here is the list: 1. There’s no signboard outside indicating that it’s a hostel. 2. No lift — we had to climb stairs while carrying luggage. 3. The room was congested and suffocating, with no fan or ventilation. 4. Lockers had no locks, making them unsafe. 5. Mixed dormitory with drunk men — unsafe for women.

Location is very good and close to city

Sometimes a bit noisy in the living area

The staff was quite nice in general.

Keys to the hostel and rooms require you to download an app which opens the locks with NFC. So you need to bring your phone and keep it charged at all times. The bedroom doors close very badly and closing it can be quite loud. People were rummaging around the room at 2 am, and staff let people in the room while they did not have a bed booked for the night.

The staff tried to be helpful but it was lawless.

It seemed like there were no rules. There was partying in the communal area until 5 or 6 jn the morning and nobody asking for quiet. Other travellers arrived during night with no regard for others. Coffee and tea but no milk. Cheap but extremely stressful and not worth even €5 per night. No signage & approx. 1.5km at least from O'Connell St so not even conveniènt

Lack of loo rolls in the bathroom

on the lake just 10 minute walk from centre ( temple bar) secure location, good shared facilities (2 showers 8 toilets ) and big reception area with lounge area

hard to find which door to go in to access property

The bad

Really friendly staff, good on all the basics. Would stay again.
