At check in the staff were rude and unhelpful, we were a group of four and given one key between us and that each extra key would be a 20euro fee, instead we were told we can just tell the night guard to let us in (with no proof we were actually staying at this hostel). It says that car... More

This place is officially the worst place we have stayed up. One night was enough and it was far too expensive for what it was. The check in guy wasn't friendly and didn't really want to help. just giving you a heads up for you to stay away.

Myself and friends stayed here last year. Turns out they overbooked us and some of us were in a dorm and two of my friends had to sleep on a mattress on the floor in the common room. The facilities were fine. Everything you would require was there and working. The place was a bit dated and could do with... More

Wow... I was kind of shocked when reading the last few reviews from people who stayed in Woodquay Hostel. The place seems to be quite good and organised and if people had all those problems, seems that the management learned something from the past... I stayed there for 2 nights only and managed to know only one guy from staff.... More

This is an absolutely shocking hostel. While the property is old and could do with refurbishment, it is the treatment of our group by staff that made it unbearable. The night manager seemed fine initially while the organisers of the trip were there but after that it went rapidly downhill. For a start, people had to sleep on mattresses on... More
