Comments: The room was not up to standard that it was supposed to be, the twin room was more like a cell (4 square meters) than a room. What\'s more, we\'ve never found mould in a soap dispenser but thanks to Olivier\'s we had a chance to experience it...

Comments: Very noisy but as long as you know this and don't plan to get to bed before 2am the location, staff, cleanliness and character of the place are brillant.

Comments: Good location in Temple Bar area. Hostel itself was hard to find at night. Ok security (in dorm rooms). Very noisey at nights as the beer garden was outside our window. I found there was only 1 place to plug stuff in for a 10 dorm room, otherwise ok on thw whole. Place was cleaned everyday. The bunk beds are not good if you´re over 5"5 as they are children sized... Be ready for some uncomfortable nights.

Comments: I liked this hostel a lot..it was right in the center of temple bar. However, i didnt know that there was not eating or drinking in the hostel..that was kinda weird... but we did it anyway.. they should have told us there was construction going on..because it was very loud and woke us up everymorning...also they didnt tell us that our heater was broken..so we were freezing for three of the 4 nights we were there!

Comments: Altought the location is perfect for those going out on the town and the rooms were clean. The bathroom was not very clean, the shower was pathetic it was more a dribble of water which went from roasting to freezing.A hostel should have character and a fun feel to it... special one in temple bar.after staying in some of the coolest hostel in south america for a third of the price i would definitly recommend them to take note of other countries hostel standards!

Comments: A bit too loud at night for my liking, as the other guest were really loud coming into the hostel in the middle of the night. Its not a place to stay if you want to get a good night's sleep but the location is perfect if you want to have a big night out.

Comments: Had a great stay, was really central and really cheap. Was a chicken leg on our floor but hey ho get what you pay for. Would defintley recommend it for the location but if you're 3 girls - don't book the 4 bed dorm, they will place u with a random man who creeps in the middle of night and leaves before u wake, very odd! All in all tho, a good craic!

Comments: This hostel for us was absolutely perfect! It is clean and had a huge and nice ensuite bathroom. But what was even more important to us was the location: right in the middle of Temple Bar with all Dublins bars and clubs (-: The only bad thing about the hostel was the lot right in front of our window... they started working there at 8 a.m., but you could sleep well at night (we came home at 3 every night, earlier it might be louder!?). Definitely recommend this hostel and would stay there again!
