Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 20th November 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: good!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 12th November 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Good hostel close to the main drag, the place was kept spotless and there were fun people hanging around. Two interesting things I came across. I was in the 18 bed dorm (it was roomy enough). There are 3 showers which seems fair, but two of those showers are in the same room and have class doors. Cue awkward, naked moments with some spanish chick. Secondly there\'s no lock to the door of the 18 bed dorm and while there are lockers, we had two randoms come in at 4am, shine lights in everyones eyes and when told to gtfo, they screamed, slammed the door and woke everyone up. Despite these, I had fun and would happily stay again!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Sweden 18th November 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: Since there is a night club on the same street they really need to install double glazed windows! I slept in the hostel a Monday night but it was so much noise outside that I did not get more than a couple of hours sleep. I was not impressed! Otherwise it is a nice hostel but I will not take the risk and stay here again after my poor experience.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 17th November 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: The location of this hostel is maybe the best you can get in entire Dublin. The service though, is not the best. I've sent an email to the hostel in advance to make sure that we\\\'d get a double bed room. But when we arrived it seemed that nobody had ever heard about this and the only two double bed rooms were already occupied. The cleanliness is pretty poor, too. Anyhow, the location and the city itself made up for all this and it was a wonderful weekend in Dublin nevertheless.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Malta 15th November 2008 Couple 41+ 3/5 Comments: quite expensive

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 17th November 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Was a bit dissapointed that for 92euros a night there was no tv or tea and coffee in the rooms. Still had a great time though, but there are cheaper places with a few more facilities that our friends were saying in. Very nice staff though.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 16th November 2008 Male 41+ 3/5 Comments: Very very noisy - private rooms all on street side with only rickety single layer window

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 13th November 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: I will not advice this hostel to anyone, staff not helpful and cold mood in the hostel, the only good thing is the location.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating South Korea 15th November 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: So small and there is no space. Bed Seat was quite dirty. But staff was very kind

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 13th November 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: great place to stay, comfy beds, great location, mostly helpful staff. would definately recommend +++

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 12th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: location, location, location. it really does mean everything, and this place was great... near everything! the en suite bathroom was nice too! the downer was that each room only had one or two keys, so sometimes you had to knock on your own door to get in. i was woken in the night on several occasions having to let people into the room. overall great experience though!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 8th November 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at the Hostel. It was a 2 minut walk to Temple Bar and it was very clean. Thx a lot! Greets from the Netherlands Rogier and Martin

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 26th October 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: not clean and rooms are small ... and no hot water ... couldn\'t take a proper shower. kitchen is small and dirty and staff are friendly. Although the hostel is very filthy and the filthiest hostel i ever been in.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 8th November 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: The 16A bus stops directly outside the hostel - very cost effective and convenient! Great central location to all sites. Bathroom facilities are basic but well looked after with good showers. Nightclub next door that pumps out banging tunes until the early hours. Reception staff polite and helpful. End of the day, you get what you pay for!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 6th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: this place was amazing.. the people were every helpful and it was in a great location. i would highly reccomend this place

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 7th November 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: The locker/cages under the beds are very difficult and loud, but the only way to lock up luggage. They are not big enough for two pieces of luggage. The kitchen was fine, but the burners take about 15 min. to warm up. The beat from the club next door can be heard until 3am, and the bathroom of the 18 person room gets very dirty by the morning, even though they are cleaned every day. But it was a hostel, in a great part of town, with a good price, so just be prepared for minor discomforts.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 7th November 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: The lady who checked me in (she was Irish) was professional but not at all friendly. The girl who checked me out (she was south American I'd say) was polite and smiled at me which was better customer service.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 6th November 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: My first impressions here were really bad: the hostel opens from the street with a little niche, this was filled with cigarette smoke I had to ppass through and two smokers, who actually turned out to be staff membrs. Later this bad impression vanished, staff were kind and well organised. • The 18 bed dorm was quite an experience! To use the safaty metal drowers under the beds you have to pay 1€, which is thus a hidden cost. The lockers are somewhat loud, you can´t help waking up others. The bathroom of this doorm is separated only by a simple door, which enables 17 other people hear how you progress on the toilet. The next building may be a music pub, the llow pittch dub-dumm of a drumand a bass guitar kept me awake until ca 12:30 am (others told me this was usual). • In this 18 bed dorm I had a sexual experience, too: a girl went to the bathroom at 5am, and her boyfriend ran after her completely naked, with erect penis. Being myself a man I had not before see an other man with erect penis. Later the same man snored very loudly. • Wifi worked reliably. • The lobby and kitchen area are ok, not very pleasent, but in order.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Hungary 5th November 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: It was OK for us, but we only were one short night. There were breakfast also. There weren't any problem.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 5th November 2008 Female 41+ 3/5 Comments: staff behind the counter were very helpful and friendly but not so in the kitchen where all the cups were whipped away from the tea/coffee machine at 5 mins to ten when they could see people were wanting a drink. Sorry if that seems a bit whinging but let's face it, we need a cup of tea in the morning! (Esp. after the night before..)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 5th November 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: The staff was really great. I actually stayed up until 5:30 am to watch the US election results and staff members were friendly and engaging even so late. I felt safe and comfortable. Its something I will always remember.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 3rd November 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Good hostel for the price. I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm. A bit small but at least the sheets were cleaned. Good breakfast!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 2nd November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Very basic and could have done with a bit of a clean! but could not fault the staff or the location and for the price it was a bit of a bargin!!
