Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 17th November 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: Correct hostel with kitchen and a confortable common room, but is not so a very funny place, normal level.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 13th November 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Room was situated on a main road and there were no curtains on the window so no privacy whatsoever!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 15th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: The staff members at the Brewery Hostel were very warm and helpful and made our stay a pleasure. The hostel\\\'s location isn\\\'t fabulous but it\\\'s not too out of the way either -- Dublin is a very walkable city. The bathroom was quite tiny and the place has a bit of an unidentifiable smell, but the great staff and chill common room (as well as the fact that you can serve yourself breakfast) make it a worthwhile place to stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 29th October 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Great for the brewery tour. Lovely, friendly staff!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Belgium 10th November 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: Curtains would be nice. Cold water not always running.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 9th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: The Brewery is a wonderful, friendly hostel--a bright retreat from rainy Dublin. I was a single female traveller and felt welcome and safe the whole time. Highly recommended.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 6th November 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Great place to stay if you love guinness or are going to a gig in vicar street!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 2nd November 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: Outside of hostel is a little down at heel, and the reception area a little unwelcoming, although the staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was clean enough, but a little faded and battered (hanging space was the remnants of a wardrobe re-bolted together as \"open plan\". Problem with water was solved quickly when reported. It\'s an OK place to stay, but possibly won\'t rush back for price now that am aware of hotels costing about the same price, unfortunately.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 26th October 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: YOU HAVE TO PAY IN CASH WHEN YOU ARRIVE. There isn\'t much to do around the area at night if you aren\'t looking to walk to Temple Bar. The top floor all girls room was freezing because one of the windows was kept closed with tape. Get to breakfast early because there are about 20 seats in the kitchen for the entire hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 21st June 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Staff were very accommodating for staying up until 6am every night. Had a lot of fun playing guitar and singing. Breakfast's were very social and the food was standard but good.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 28th October 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: It\'s not exactly close to everything but for the price its the best option. Just make sure to get a bus pass and it'll be worth it. Also it gets very cold during the winter so bring warm clothes!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 27th October 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: The people were awesome and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. It was great location and the staff was very helpful!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 28th October 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: the rooms were freezing so bring layers! the breakfast was good, the location was nice, and the staff were super friendly. common room only has 1 computer and is slow but thats really my only complaint. would def recommend this hostel to anyone! its cheap and just as good as the more expensive ones

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 27th October 2008 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: A clean hostel with great staff. The location is close enough to the city centre without being noisy. I would stay again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Switzerland 19th October 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: In the room was a strong smell and we couldn't open a window.The room was too small for 10 poeple with baggage. The breakfast was normal but I think it was a bit strange that we had to clean our dishes after breakfast!! 25 euros was too much for this hostel!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 14th October 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: Stayed for one night, wouldnt stay any longer.. No curtains on windows facing the main st street lights shined into room all night and sun in the morning. There was no hot water so couldnt have a shower.... Very far from city centre, have to get a cab..

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 11th October 2008 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: Our room (right above the common room) had a leak in the ceiling and water kept dripping all night on the second night there. We had been warned about shutting the shower door shut in our room to avoid that happening in the common room. Security was great, and the staff very helpful. Lush common room although, as someone else had written previously - people sat there with their laptops or books, there wasn\'t too much mingling in the common room.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 9th October 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: A nice, clean, place, to meet a lot of interesting people.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 12th October 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: There were hairs in the bed, and just not a very clean, or safe place. There is only one key per room, so if you share you do not have access to it, so it might be locked when you get back at night. Also there are no lockers for you to keep your valuables in and the front desk said that we could keep the valuables with them until we got back.....no thanks! I do not recommend this hostel at ALL!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 12th October 2008 Couple 31-40 2/5 Comments: Very poor hostel. Rules about passports being needed illogical, and not apparent when booking. Was greatly inconvenienced by the hostels inability to accept credit cards. Although staff on the door were helpful enough, cleaning staff the following morning were deeply unpleasant in expelling us from the room at 10.30 on the dot, with little ceremony or tolerance. I will not be visiting this establishment again, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 10th October 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Damp room made for a significant mold build-up

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 5th October 2008 Couple - 3/5 Comments: Very helpful staff at the front desk; the key system is a bit weird, but it works. Common room was absolutely dead when we were there; more like a reading room than a place to meet people. But it definitely gets the job done, free breakfast is a plus, and isn't too terribly far from center city.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 4th October 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: Not at all like the pictures on the website. Pretty dirty and not in a very good area of town. VERY COLD and drafty and nothing blocking the sound of the street. Very Noisy!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 4th October 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Within walking distance to everything. Friendly and helpful staff. Could have been a little bit cleaner, but still an overall good choice.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 3rd October 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: i only stayed one night on abusiness trip so wasnt going out, i didnt like the fact theres only one key to a room of ten when ur sharing with strangers, and the room was quite cold.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 24th January 2007 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: Long walk to the city centre, but close the the beer!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 24th September 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: nice to have a kitchen to cook in. Good location with free parking. But, i didn't feel it was too clean and their was someone sleeping in my designated bed- led to some annoying confusion.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 28th September 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: everything was fine. had a lot of fun there. the only thing to complain were the cleaning ladies. they werent that friendly...but the rceptionists etc were very nice. thx for the nice time

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 24th September 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Things were clean and comfortable enough, but the 1 key per room policy is rubbish. It\'s not secure, as sometimes the room is left unlocked for hours on end during the day when people are napping or otherwise in the room. The common room was very big and the free wi-fi was great. Breakfast is average. The location is very close to Temple Bar and even closer to the Guinness brewery. The staff were excellent - very nice and helpful with directions, etc.
