avoid this hostel at all costs. I don't mind roughing every now and then but this was beyond a joke. our "bedroom" was underneath the stairs. Everytime anybody entered or left the hotel, it sounded like a heard of elephants were running across our ceiling. Never slept a wink all weekend. Plus the place stunk from loads of student types... more

I would strongly advise everybody to avoid this place at all costs, the place is a dump! Checking in was awful as the man booking us in was very unpleasant and argumentative. The smell throughout the place made me wretch everytime I went through. The showers and toilets were an absolute disgrace and you never felt totally clean. There was... more

Booked in and was so overwhelmed by the smell and the general dirt and gloom of the place that it took us all of five minutes to do a runner and count the 44 euro paid as a big mistake. Even basic accommodation has to be clean! Should have checked trip advisor before I booked. more

I stayed here with 3 mates for 2 nights and it was the funniest thing ever!!!! From the ouside the hostel looked ok, we were right in the middle of Dublin where all the fun was! we got in and the reception was clean and tidy. The common area was a bit dingy but what do you expect for the... more

It was really cheap...but you pay for what you get. It was hot, smelly, and beds were uncomfortable. The showers were decent...and the employees were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was not good....and it just felt dirty everywhere. more

I would have to nominate this as the WORST hostel I have ever stayed in. Had a HORRIBLE experience involving 22-bed dorm (when we paid for it they told us it was a 16-bed dorm!!). There were curious white stains on the couch in the hall, rubbish overflowing out of the kitchen bin with no-one in sight to clean it.... more
