We stayed at the Globetrotters in May of last year as a part of our honeymoon holiday! We arrived in Dublin by car, as we had been driving around Ireland for 5 days, to find that the Queen was in town and nearly everything was going into lock down. When we arrived the lovely ladies have us the low down... More

This is more of a hotel than hostel. We had a private double room as a twin, adequate room with large bathroom. One of the beds was uncomfy as springs were broken but other was fine. Access to kitchen from hours of 2pm onwards which was a pain if you missed brealfast or wanted early lunch. Breakfast was hearty if... More

We stayed there for one night. We had a private bedroom with shared bathroom. The room was lovely, calm and comfortable. The shower is quite small but that's Ok. Breakfast is good and big, perfect for starting a day! Staff is really welcoming and helpful! I will stay there again for sure!! More

Stayed in Globetrotters for a night in November. At least in the dorm I stayed in there were no lockers to keep my valuables - A safety deposit box is available but they charge for it - and only a couple of the more than several side lights worked. When I asked if they had spare bulbs, I was told... More

Given the great reviews I was looking forward to my stay at the Globetrotters Tourist Hostel. The breakfast was as advertised but it was the high point of my stay. I was disappointed that there were no in-room lockers or safes to keep one's valuables. The hostel did provide safety boxes to rent for 5 Euros which was a turnoff.... More

This place is amazing! Free wifi, full breakfast included, friendly staff, beds are good, hot water! I've stayed at this place twice. It has a great atmosphere and is great for solos, friends, family, everyone! The staff are extremely helpful and offer great advice on what to do and see. It is a little far from the 'night scene' but... More

I went there for 2 nights. It is very clean, well located and the Full Irish Breakfast included every monrning is great! Only 11 euros for a 12 bed dormitory with that breakfast, it's the perfect deal. The room was really well 'designed' such as you don't feel stuck one bed over an other with 11 strangers. Security very good.... More

We came back three times during our travels in Ireland. Free wifi (and it's actually good), free bbq during the week, very affordable beds, friendly staff, delicious breakfast and a great location (near the bus station and a lot of great things to see.) I would be happy to make it my hub hostel again. More

You know how you psych yourself up for a hotel room to be smaller/ crappier/ generally more depressing than the pictures you saw online? Well, that DIDN'T HAPPEN with Globetrotters! Our room was actually better than we anticipated: cosy, warm, spacious and with a realllllly good shower. We were in Dublin for a few days at the last minute and... More
