Central location , Airport Bus stops nearby.
It's very central location, though sketchy enough late at night.. like any major city Dublin despite its relaxed vibe has a drug problem and to be aware of your soroundings is important.. Take common sense care and you should enjoy your visit. I stayed for one night in a small single room ,with a sink in the room .. bed was comfortable , staff are very friendly, and despite that morning no hot water in shower. Dublin is now very expensive to visit and with some extra effort in maintenance especially in plumbing area this place could be so much better. Owner do this upgrade and give your excellent staff the chance to run what could be a so much better Hotel ..

Mediocre
It was a great price, good location, but the service was ok. Probably choose somewhere else the next time I go to Dublin.

we won't recommend this hotel
They don't provide cleaning service during our stay. They only collect rubbish when we ask for that .The bed is not comfortable and the facility is really pool.

Hyvä sijainti
Huone ei ollut mitenkään erikoinen. Kyllä siellä hyvin nukkumaan pystyi mutta siinä se sit olikin. Suihku oli aika pienen oloinen koppi ja vesi tuli järkyttävän pienellä paineella. Sijainti oli erittäin hyvä.

Nice stay in central hostel!
Stayed in a single room for 3 nights. The staff was really friendly and was very helpful. The room was small but cosy, all I needed for my puposes. The location near O'Connell Street was fantastic!
Only downside was the shower where the waterbeam was very weak.

Naaajaaaa
Service war super... freundlich, interessiert, hilfbereit
Sehr altes, verbrauchtes Hostel ohne Investitionen aber dennnoch sauber und keine Haare vom Vormieter.
Die Dusche war zu klein, der Duschkopf zu niedrig und wenig Wasser ---> Note 6
Zimmer waren klein aber für jeden ein sauberes Handtuch und auch die Bettwäsche war sauber. Auf das Hochbett muss man ohne Leiter klettern- die ist zugebaut!
Man kann keinen Komfort erwarten, für ein paar Nächte ist es ok.
Preis-Leistungsverhätnis ist miserabel...
Die Lager mehr als perfekt!
