I think my blanket had been used before, had some obvious stains on it.

it was fine. it was clean there was a warm bed, that's it. not really a "hostel" experience, no locks for things or a checkin or staff. honestly it should be like 10-15€ but it's a warm place to sleep and everything was clean i'd give it like 3 stars

Stayed in October 2024

Beds broken, floor torn up, shower went from hot to cold and was blocked. Uncomfortable and unhygienic that the toilet and shower was practically in the kitchen. Dangerous steps by fridge. Horrible smell.

Stayed in September 2024

It wasn’t clean at all and the shower stopped working. They fixed it, but then it was either burning hot or freezing cold. We also got locked out at some point because the pins were changed for the code. Our ground floor window also did not lock

The beds were comfy

The bed had crumbs in it and the sheets clearly hadn't been changed, luckily we'd brought a sleeping bag liner so we didn't have to touch the duvet or sheet and we put a t shirt over the pillowcase. Back door was wide open and access from the back door via the street outside was a little concerning. (Just a short fence that you wouldn't need to jump to get over) I think we were the only people there, literally no staff or other guests. Shortly before we left we noticed some clean sheets on a shelf in a storage room just left of the communal kitchen so if you do stay then you could always change the sheets yourself.

The location was excellent, a short busride from the city centre and just round the corner from a really nice coffee shop and all the people we met in the small village couldn't have been nicer. At 25 per person just book the single bunk bed room and you've got a room that easily sleeps 4 people for 50 quid a night. Not bad.

The room itself was good, however we had a very uncomfortable experience. One of the other residents made my friend and I very uncomfortable, and tried to break into our room to get to us multiple times, but after messaging the host telling him exactly what happened and simply requesting for confirmation that our room code is private and letting him know that we were too scared to go to the bathroom, the host never answered us. We would’ve expected to be supported by the host, and by not getting that, and not feeling safe, it ruined our stay at Fernando’s.

It was a good location near a bus stop and we had a private room which was nice

Shower overflow

Bathroom/shower did not lock, neither could the window in the room and the door leading to the back garden. A pile of nail clippings were on the dresser. Throughout the entirety of our stay, the owner did not respond to WhatsApp messages or calls, especially when I was trapped in the bathroom.

Stayed in June 2024

There was no common area which wasn't really a problem for us since we had booked a room for 2 people and so had some space to ourselves. A small table and chairs in the room would have been appreciated. Also, a dishtowel in the kitchen would have been handy.

Very friendly and helpful host, good location

Property number is actually no. 22 and not 19 as advertised. The guy at 19 was polite but clearly sick of answering his door.

The room was dirty and smelly. We found a dirty towel in the wardrobe and the extra blankets smelled bad. There was no hangers for the wardrobe.

The bathroom and toilet where quite clean and the neighbourhood seemed nice with all needed facilities

Stayed in March 2024

Poorly insulated room and very, very cold flat. Lack of toilet paper and towels.

The location was convenient as it was right next to the bus links for the city centre. Room was clean and had good storage space.

Location and price can’t beat it for dublin

Stayed in August 2025

It’s a bit run down with broken glass from a broken window, as previous reviews state, it’s not that clean, but it’s still ok. I drove here for a night after a concert so I had my own pillow and sheet. The bathroom was stuffy but also not the biggest problem. The numerous door locks made it safe, but I’m not sure if I’d have felt safe here alone as a woman. It’s semi noisy, but that depends on who’s staying there, if you travel you know people can be inconsiderate, not a place like this’s fault. If you share the price per night it’s worth it.

After reading the reviews I knew what to expect, it’s a fine place to stay for a night if you’re only sleeping there, it wasn’t really uncomfortable, I brought my own pillow, the beds creak and rattle, but we were so tired so fell asleep right away, my friend was woken by others in the house, as the sound travelled, but I slept fine, you could open the window a bit so that was good, the bathroom was ok, busy at 9 am but check Out is at 10 am so not surprised as there’s only one. We didn’t use the kitchen. The cleaning lady was a nice girl.

The price was excellent and the room was comfortable and clean and it has a good location.

found the room to be in an unsanitary condition (presence of mold, excessive dust, dilapidated flooring, toilets not cleaned, toilet paper soaked, dishes not done, ripped parquet...).Unable to reach the owner by phone, nobody answered and the voicemail is always full.

Very small lobby and almost nowhere to sit outside of the room.

Staff were helpful, washing machine and launderette in the hostel for the guests to use.
