Decent budget stay—you get what you pay for 👍 The highlight of this hostel is the staff; the check-in agent was incredibly friendly, approachable, and accommodating. * Location: Not right in the heart of the center, but very accessible. It’s just a short walk to a bus stop that connects you directly to Temple Bar, etc.. Plus, a cheap airport bus stops only a few steps away. * Room: I booked a 2-bed dorm. The bed was okay and served its purpose, but wasn't the most comfortable. The room can get noisy since it faces the street and sits near the common washroom (you'll hear people coming and going). Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper! Also, the layout is a bit of a maze, and I kept getting lost finding my room. * Facilities: The shared bathroom is clean with plenty of toilet/shower cubicles and sinks. Body wash/shampoo is provided, but towels may cost extra, so bring your own. Verdict: The overall appearance is just okay. It is definitely not a fancy stay, but it is acceptable for the price. I would probably stay here again.

Room is not clean bathroom is not clean, no minibar in the room

Small rather cramped room. Their designer made the best of a small space to fit what was absolutely needed in the room. Aesthetically attractive decorating. The bed sagged a bit and the head was a little lower than the foot due the settling of the floor. The restaurant offered an extensive menu and the food was taste, however the mussels in the seafood spaghetti probably was responsible for making me ill. Great location for enjoying an Irish seaside experience.

it is comfortable to catch the bus 16 to the airport (40 minutes, 2.6 euros instead of the quick bus which cost 10 euros) because the bus stop is just 150m away. I slept at the top floor, not on the street but facing the curtyard, so it was quieter. Monica has been kind and responsive

Check-in at 3pm! The location is good but the room is really warm and the window is very small like the room
