    Decent for one night, but better communication and safety would improve the experience.

    I stayed for one night and the location was convenient. My room was right in front of the bathroom, which made things easier. However, I didn’t feel very secure as the door didn’t lock from the outside. Communication was also difficult since the staff didn’t speak English well, and important information like the Wi-Fi and the building access code wasn’t given to me at check-in. I only received the code by chance when I met the receptionist on my way out, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get back in. Overall, it worked for a short stay, but some improvements in communication and safety would make the experience much better.

    The room was small but comfortable for the price. Both the room and the bathroom were very clean and well organized, which I really appreciated.

    The single room is very small, and most importantly it has a very small and old window that does not open. Guys please do not use this room for people, it is against hygiene rules, because there is no ventilation!

    The service is very good, the staff is friendly and ready to help. The public bathrooms are very clean. The hotel administration provided the opportunity to change the room without a window to a good room.

    Wi-Fi wasn't working during my stay, had to use the one for staff downstairs. They are doing bins at midnight (very loudly, no way you'd sleep) and start cleaning at 6 AM (also QUITE loudly), so no way you'll sleep 8 hours there. The staff can't see any problem with this. Despite all these efforts can't say it's too clean there: the stairs rails are sticky, and you better don't look under the bed, there are ages of dust and litter there

    A room of a good size, you can use kitchen, the staff is friendly and helpful. Good price for the center of Dublin.

    Outside the property large painted letters state ‘bed and breakfast’ but there was no breakfast. The bunk room was very hot and noisy, but it was the last room available. No tea or coffee, no kettle in the room. The women’s shower was so hot I couldn’t bear it. My husband said the make shower was very good.

    It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We were thankful that they took us at the last minute as our long standing booking was cancelled on the doorstep. It was basic but ok.

    No fan available for a very hot room. The only window, a skylight, was covered with a dusty pillowcase. No way to air out the room as the door needed to remain closed for fire purposes. Very narrow and steep stairs to get to the top rooms.

    Fantastic location. The bed was comfortable. It was fine for one night, but wouldn't recommend staying longer.

    Difficulty checking in was not given proper process to find accommodation. I have left my jacket there and they have reported no belongings was found which I know not to be true as I left this on the chair in the room. I was woken at 9am to be told check out is at 11 ? Which seems silly ! Vacuuming noise from around 8am

    The room was not clean, and so the bathroom. For the whole night the Hostel was noisy and chaotic. I could barely sleep and at a certain point I was even afraid. The price is crazy considered the quality of the stay.

    The room didn’t smell particularly nice so we had to air it out. It’s a busy street so we had to close the window when we were ready to sleep. There’s no free WiFi as advertised. I couldn’t sleep as the doors to the next door rooms (occupied by staff) were banging closed all night with loud conversations outside and on phones. I’m glad we only stayed one night as this would have made any longer trip unbearable and we would have had to look elsewhere. No TV in the room. When you compare it to hotels nearby, it’s only slightly cheaper and breakfast and WiFi is included at other properties.

    The staff were very communicative and looked after our bags until check in time. There’s a couple of small supermarkets nearby for snacks.

    could only text from any device; I needed to use Zoom, facetime or whatsapp as I did at every other accommodation in the IR and it was unacceptable to be prevented from making business calls when wifi was listed as included. The noise both within the building and outside my window was quite loud until very late. Perhaps this could be disclosed. Earplugs helped. Steep, narrow steps to upper floor.

    The room and bathroom were clean, towels and sheets fresh and mattress comfortable. The staff member who was to check me in was chatting next door and after I followed him in, he carried my bag to my room.
