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 ..

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.

Don't book this hostel

My sister was bitten by bed bugs. There are no sheets on the covers and and it is generally unclean. Also there is no hot water in the shower. Do not recommend.

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!
