Location
Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hostel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The location was quiet and safe, although a bit far from the center of Dublin's activities. The service was friendly, but there were some unexpected intrusions that made me uncomfortable. The dining was affordable, but the quality of the food was lacking. The rooms were decent but had some issues with smell and temperature regulation.
The hotel’s location is excellent, close to key attractions like Temple Bar and with the best Irish traditional music sessions nearby. The rooms, although facing the main square that can be loud at night, were not as impressive and got quite hot; maybe they could improve ventilation during hot seasons. The service was a mix of very friendly staff who addressed all my needs and some unfriendly encounters where staff chatted instead of taking care of guests. The dining options were a bit overpriced and not worth the money, especially when considering plain offerings like bread with ham and cheese. Despite feeling a little unsafe walking alone at night, the overall location is great and convenient to explore the city center on foot.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean with very comfortable beds, but the service was not as friendly as I had hoped. The location was convenient for transportation, but the dining options were limited and overpriced.
The hostel was a mixed experience. The rooms could be a bit cleaner, and the noise from the entertainment space made it hard to sleep without earplugs. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious and clean. The location was not ideal, being a bit far from the city center, although it offers ample space for socializing with other travelers. The dining experience was lackluster, with tasteless food catered more towards young student groups. The service was friendly but had some hiccups with housekeeping oversights.
The hotel is conveniently located near the tram stop in a bit of a rough area. The rooms were very clean and well-organized, but the toilets being on a different floor was inconvenient and they were quite dusty. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help, even lending me a power adaptor. The dining options were overpriced and not great, especially for the price. The location was convenient in terms of transportation but not ideal for walking late at night.
The hotel is located close to River Liffey in the Smithfield area, next to the popular Cobblestone Pub. The rooms are always clean, and there are great common areas and bars, though the size of the hotel makes it feel less intimate. Service is attentive, especially from staff member Hazel, who checked bags for alcohol. The location is good for exploring Smithfield but a bit far from downtown. Dining is expensive for small portions, but the hotel is in a very good area of Dublin.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were warm, making sleep challenging at times. It was not ideal to have some long-term guests spending all day inside, making it a bit uncomfortable. On the upside, the rooms themselves were cozy and decent.
The hotel is situated in a lively area, the service was friendly and attentive, but the dining experience was less than satisfactory. The location offers both convenience and some safety concerns at night.
The hotel was more like a hostel, without its own toilet & shower which wasn't ready for hours after check-in time. The location was hectic with no AC or fans in the room, but it was close to downtown and streets.
The hotel had clean rooms but they could become quite warm and felt dark being downstairs. The service was kind overall, offering free towels and breakfast to Spanish/Portuguese speakers. The location was nice but not the closest to the center. The dining experience was somewhat basic. The hotel had good facilities for relaxing.
The hostel offers convenient access to Dublin's city center with a location close to public transportation and tourist attractions. The rooms, though a bit small for the price, provide lockers but lack good air circulation due to small windows. The service is generally friendly and helpful, although there were some instances of unhelpful responses from staff. Dining options are available but may be overpriced compared to nearby cafes. Despite some drawbacks, the hostel is a good choice for budget travelers exploring Dublin.
I stayed at this hostel during my trip to Dublin. The rooms were comfy, and despite being opposite some European partygoers, I found them clean and suitable for my needs. The value for the price was amazing with 6 beds available, making it a great budget option. The service was a mixed bag as the staff were mostly friendly and helpful, but I had a challenging experience when I lost my passport and missed a flight due to the hostel's conditions. The location was quite nice and very convenient for exploring Dublin with easy access to transportation, but the surroundings had some drawbacks. The dining experience was hit or miss, with some good options available on-site but at an extra charge, and the overall facilities were decent for a hostel.
The hostel offers quick and stable wifi, good facilities, and clean rooms, but noise isolation could be improved, and the lack of air conditioning is inconvenient in the summer. The location is reachable from major railway stations and close to the city center, with easy transport access. Dining options could be better, and prices may not align with the quality. Overall, a decent value for money option.
The hotel is conveniently located right in the heart of Dublin City, making it easy to explore the vibrant surroundings. The rooms, while spacious, could be a bit disappointing due to their proximity to the busy areas of the hotel. The service was exceptional with friendly and efficient staff, adding to a delightful stay.
The hostel offers organized small rooms that don't feel cramped, but they have old towels left and a terrible smell with little ventilation. The pricing for drinks and food seems inflated, but the location is convenient, close to Jameson Distillery and other attractions, though the area is not very safe.
