Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 4th November 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Apart from the weird, filthy long-term resident in our dorm this place was fine. The rooms were big but the bathrooms were old and the showers had nowhere for you to get changed. The breakfast was great and the do-it-yourself walking tour that the staff had written was really useful. The staff were helpful but seemed transient and didn\'t ask the grub in our dorm to clean her stuff up. It\'s a decent base for exploring Dublin.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Belgium 16th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: near the center, about 7min by feet, perfect to sleep well without being far away. Showers were hot enough and breakfast was exellent. Staff of different nationalities we're understood well)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 16th November 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: Too far to walk with heavy bags but otherwise it was average. The female shower set up was terrible- no locked doors so anyone could just come in and take you stuff or pull curtain back- nowhere to put clothes or valuables while shower???

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 16th November 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: pretty far from the main part of the city, but if you don't mind this, it's very good. fairly easy to find too, you pretty much just go straight up from O'Connell bridge.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 16th November 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: showers were very cold

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 16th November 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: Its a good walking distance from most things but it is good that you are away from it all too. Kitchen facilities help whilst on the travelling budget and the rooms are good size and have a heap of security. Worst thing was the disrespect of other travellers. If you are going to leave early, pack your bag the night before, don't let your alarm ring out forever and if your REALLY have to turn the light ona nd wake everyone else turn it off when you leave!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 13th November 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: The heater in the room was broke, I lost sleep, then told them, they fixed it right away. They refunded me HALF my money; quite generious. I did get some hours of sleep regardless. Basically, they went the extra mile, and that makes me wanna stay there again and again, even though it is a little walk from city center... Which can be a good thing because there are less drunk crazy people by the hostel... depends on how you look at it I suppose.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 9th November 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Really nice hostel! it was so cozy that we actually stayed there more than we would have imagined...cooking our dinners in the kitchen, playing risk for hours... the best place to counterarrest dublin's rain!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 12th June 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: An Oige was a wonderful place to stay, though it was a bit further from Temple Bar and other nightlife for the taste of students. The staff was always helpful and easygoing, and we met people from all over. If you are in town to really see the sights, not as much to party, this is a wonderful place to stay. But no worries, you will still be able to get to the nightlife if that\'s what you\'re looking for.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 12th November 2008 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: my room was way to cold and the heating didn't work. also the showers were not what I would call cosy. you have to press the tap every 10 seconds to get a proper flow of water. furthermore the water was a bit to cold. but in general I enjoyed my stay .

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 10th November 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Great hostel - one of the best in Dublin. Fab breakfast, ideal location and warm in winter. It's a bit strange making a phone call from an old confessional booth. th hostel is an old convent which adds to its charm. Will be staying here again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 10th November 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Convenient location (10 min walk from O'Connell street), rather clean shared bathroom - rather on the gril's side. Nice and helpfull reception staff, good and big free breakfast.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 9th November 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: They have a very nice restaurant where you can meet up people from several countries during the breakfast. By the way the breakfast was nice, you have the choices of milk, tea, coffee, fruit juice, bread, butter, jam, cereals, and for that price is quite good. The rooms are quite new and the complex is nice throughout. Great value

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 10th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: I really enjoyed my stay in the hostel, it was a perfect way to start out in Dublin.I know found a room in a flat and I'm actually sad I'm leaving my room here..met great people and had great times!:-)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 8th November 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: - If you visit this hostel, double-check that your locker locks properly. It was easy to open mine even when the padlock was locked on it! The receptionist could not repair it so I was moved to an other room. OK so far, but be cautious! - There was no working power socket in our room, I was unable to recharge my mobile phone. I think that a room for 8 people should have at least 8 sockets!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 9th September 2008 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: overall very good deal

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 21st October 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Good Hostel, Location is a bit out of the way for the sights, great breakfast, crowd seemed older and more for families... All you do is sleep there.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 9th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: In a very sketchy and out-of-the-way location. The money you save on the hostel will be spent of cabs. Also, if you want a padlock or towel, you must pay for them, but you get to keep the padlock. You could bring your own of either of these, of course. The breakfast was alright with a hot option that could be bought. One advantage was a sink in the room. I didn't use the game or TV rooms, but they were there. It is also a relatively large hostel with lots of people.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Hungary 8th November 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: This hostel is large, monks or nuns used to live here. You have breakfast in a temple. Everything is simple and clean, maybe too simple, without much style, and without aiming to be a friendly environment. This hostel gives little fun compared to the others in Dublin. Wifi is available, but so much overloaded that you can hardly access your emails, and you have to wait until late at night to have enough bandwidth for Skype. I had no major problems here.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Brazil 8th November 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: The dorm was really too stinky, one could not sleep in there. The internet connection was TERRIBLE! Consider there is none!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 17th October 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: It just seemed a little larger than it had set out to be. If that makes sense.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Finland 2nd November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: The onsuite was a bit filthy; all kinds of muck on the sink and in the shower that didn't really look that old. It could've been much nicer with a bit more effort on the cleaning. Friendly staff and good location.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 2nd November 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: easy to get into town but not right in the center. great hostel with everything you need!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 27th October 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: I was in a room for 8 girls, and there was only one electrical outlet. There wasn't even one in the toilets or in the shower room. Luckily, there was one in the hallway. Also, the showers are impractical. Where can I put all of my stuff when I\'m showering so it doesn\'t get wet? Other than that, my stay was great. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the information you had on the city of Dublin was great, and breakfast was good too (although some fruit would be nice).

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 1st November 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: great hostel and good facilities. good lockers in the rooms, bring a lock or you can buy one. nice and clean and good size rooms. nice people working there and friendly atmosphere.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 28th October 2008 Male 41+ 4/5 Comments: This was my first time staying at a Hostel and I was a little nervous at first. I think the Staff was extreemly helpful and I would definitely stay there again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 26th October 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: A bit far out of the way, and Mountjoy Street isn't clearly marked, so we got lost. We basically just used it as a place to sleep, though, so we can't comment on much else.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 31st October 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Stayed 5 days and it was just awesome. This was my first time in a hostel and won't be the last one !!! I'll come back on april for sure !! I loved this place ! So friendly !! Thanks a lot
