| Comments: Major constructions right above our dorm room was not a great thing - especially when it caused the electricity to go off. Showers are luke warm but the hostel is in Ireland so the 'feel' of it can't really go too wrong and breakfast is decent. Not the best stay I've had though. |

| Comments: Location great layout is terrible inside The area u eat is in lobby & not much space as people use laptops there & theres always staff member pacing in the area u cant relax kitchen doesnt have enough plates etc 4 amount of people staying there & the breakfast included in staying there was toast/jam not worth calling it "breakfast included". I will not stay there again YHA Hostel on Mountjoy St in Dublin is great! |

| Comments: Very noisey at night - after 11pm and as late as 3am - which is due to unthinking guests and paper thin walls. At that time of night people should be aware that others may be needing sleep for whatever reason. I had to use ear plugs. If I had not had them I would have willing forfeited my two nights payment and gone to a hotel.I was seriously tempted to in any case. Internet facilities were appreciated. |

| Comments: Please get your builders to stop using the female toilets or at least give them a little introduction on "how to aim for the toilet bowl". There was always a toilet with the seat up and a sprinkling of urine around it on the 2nd floor, and I've seen them go in there a few times from one of the rooms they're doing work in. |

| Comments: While the location and facilities were good, the staff (who seem to have a contempt for guests, very unhelpful) and lack of organisation (no suggestions of sights or fun things to do in the area) made this hostell one of the worst i have ever stayed at. I wouldnt recommend it. I chose this hostel based on the review given on this website and was thoroughly disappointed. |

| Comments: Excellent Hostel, nice staff, you feel safe (cards to enter the buildings/the rooms...), and cheap!
A bit noisy because it is close to the rails but anyway, good value for money |

| Comments: You should remove the wi-fi points in the hallway on the first and second floors. People were out there late at night playing music and videos games and I couldn't sleep. Was like this every night. If they need wi-fi, the lobby is big enough. Also remove electical outlets, one girl was blow drying her hair at midnight. Need to soundproof doors better. Need new showers. Your staff is wonderful. |

| Comments: It's a really nice hostel.. They offering free breakfast, sauna and free WLAN. The only thing I didn't like was that the walls are very, very thin. So I it was hard to fall sleep and to continue sleeping when the person next door was getting ready to leave at 6 am in the morning. |

| Comments: This hostel is great! The rooms and bathrooms are very clean. A major plus is that there is also free wifi. The only bad side is that the common room/reception area, with the free wifi, closes at 11 pm. VERY GREAT HOSTEL! |
