Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 13th November 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Very very tiny room

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 12th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: My only complaints are the shower system and the internet system- one shower for 9 beds! come on! it was like a contest trying to get the shower. Also the internet system was ridiculous and way too expensive. They need to find a more sufficient form of internet.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 12th November 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: Great central area, very easy to get to. The staff was very helpful as I forgot my key once and they weren´t rude about it. I would definitely stay again! Hot showers, as much toast as you want for breakfast, great common room, and safe!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 10th November 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: great location - plenty of pubs within 200m radius. Very clean, helpful staff. Not as much of a party atmosphere as i expected, but it could have been timing.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 9th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: PERFECT location. Right in the middle of Temple Bar, which is where you want to be. Beds are comfy...sucks though when you are in a 10-er and you only have 1 bathroom and like...7 girls...does not work. Breakfast isnt to impressive, but thats fine..Internet there SUCKS, dont be fooled to use it, there is a cheaper cafe two lanes down. But I would stay here again

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Brazil 6th November 2008 Male 41+ 4/5 Comments: I had a problem with a guest (he made a big mess in the room). I went to the reception and the staff found the rigth solution for me. I am happy to indicate Barnacles Temple Bar House in Dublin to everyone. It is a very good place to stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 4th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: I stayed in the coed 16 person dorm... what a mistake. It's dirty and noisy. The location might be fun, but not if you want to get a decent night's sleep. On the other hand, the staff was helpful.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 30th October 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Absolutley outstanding. Each and every member of the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Provided that you are reasonable and courteous, you can certainly anticipate the same. Overall, it was my best hostel experience to date. I would return in a heartbeat.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 30th October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: good hostel. a bit noisy and the internet didnt work but there are plenty of cafes around

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 1st November 2008 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: This place is not the place to mingle, the chill room is small and the kitchen where most hung out would have been alright but who wants to smell like food. Location was great, two door from the actual Temple Bar

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 30th October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: this was the best hostel that i stayed at in dublin! when i come back i'll definitely stay with you!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 28th October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Had a great time. Everyone was super chill. My only complaint is the cold showers!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 28th October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: The best hostel expierence I´ve had so far. I felt safe leaving my bags in my room, and I was in a mixed dorm! The staff was exceptional about everything: security advice, nightlife and day tour tips. It was nice to just walk outside and the bars are basically in your front and backyard. I am def. coming back to Ireland and I will be coming back to this hostel without a doubt!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 11th October 2008 Female - 4/5 Comments: I have been in Avalon house for one week and i can say that is a very good hostel, all the people of the staff are very nice, specially at the reception and they help you in all that you ask to them. The rooms are good, a little small, but are clean, and the common showers are very clean also. Also the location is good, to go to the temple bar zone you only have to walk ten minutes I recomended this hostel

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Malaysia 24th October 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: to have wireless access inside the room will be much better.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Israel 22nd October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: This is a good hostel. Very safe, and very clean. The cold water in the showers is a situation easily resolved - I just turned the knob all the way. The breakfast is basic, but the kitchen is fully acquipped if you like cooking. My room was spacious, but most rooms are quite small.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 21st October 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: I know we overslept by ten mins but the lady changing the beds was VERY grumpy!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 16th October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: very small rooms, but only stayed one night, so it wasn't a big deal!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 6th October 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: WOW ... this is a great hostel. Right in the heart of Temple Bar (actually just a couple of doors from the actual Temple Bar!). Can be noisy at night, but that adds character to the place. Breakfast is not the greatest - just toast, juice and instant coffee. Loved the place and would stay again. Staff is ultra helpful and security is great. Shout-out to my 2 Canadian roomies-room 102. Look me up on FB - you guys were awesome :)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 19th October 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: L'auberge est trop bien située, a quelques mètres de la fête, du bonheur !! Par contre il ne faut pas y aller pour se reposer c'est assez bruyant mais avec quelques pintes dans le gosier, on entends plus rien !!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 18th October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: This hostel was recommended by a friend and I am so glad that I listened to her! It is in a fabulous location and everyone I talked to was so helpful! I was origionally booked for another hostel for the second night but I cancelled my reservation so I could stay here for a second night!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 19th October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Great hostel! Perfect location in the center of the night life. The staff was very helpful, and the hostel was very clean!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 19th October 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Great location, very clean, and not too noisy given the fact that it's in the centre of the party-scene. The breakfast wasn't great (toast, jam and tea/instant coffee) and it was quite a wait since they only had one toaster, but other than that very good.
