After having read previous reviews I don't want to spend much time on saying what was wrong about it. Yes, no toilet paper, booze and drugs inside the rooms. This alone might have been just rather fine for another cheapie but the staff is worth a couple of words. The guy with an Italian accent (supposedly manager Michael) is a... More

THE GOOD STUFF: Beds were super comfy, really really good beds and having a double and a single in one room is handy. Having an ensuite for such a cheap price is a bonus. Central location. Nice staff. THE BAD STUFF: Someone forgot that there are huge big street lights at the front of the hostel, the cream coloured curtains... More

This hostel is not worth staying at. I spent two nights here simply because I had a car and car parking is at a premium in Dublin. The living room was putrid and had two older drunk men sitting in it yelling at the tv. Toilet in my room barely flushed, the shower leaked and the whole experience was only... More

I booked a twin room. the single bed had no sheets on it. it was just a bare mattress and the double bed obviously had somebody sleeping in it not long before we arrived. The pillow was stained and the sheets were all tossed. The bins were full, the toilet didn't flush, there was graffiti on the walls not to... More

The staff were not very helpful and the ensuite bathroom was so dirty. I didn't see the kitchen to comment. It was cheap but I think it would be worth a few euros to stay somewhere nicer. Our room was on the sixth floor so it's not good if you have a heavy bag.

We find this hostel with a booking website. When we had seen the room and the kitchen, we had a shock : it was very dirty and noisy. We had to pay 65 euros by night for à private bedroom ! We think it is not normal for this bad quality.
