Stayed in a woman's 6x unit. It was clean. It was surprisingly quiet. I didn't eat there. But the bathroom was clean and so was the unit.

Loved this hostel. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Bar was good, would suggest going elsewhere for food though. Easy walk to Temple Bar area and attractions.

Best location, easy to get to via public transportation, clean, friendly staff. Only downside is 5 euro to rent a towel, 5 euro to request an upper or lower bunk, 5 euro for luggage storage, 5 euro for early check-in, 5 euro for this for that…

It's just not worth it. Very uncomfortable cots, not beds. We didn't have enough toilet paper. And paying 5 euro to use a towel? Ridiculous.

Super great spot for travellers of all ages (and all ages there). Clean and comfortable rooms with your own USB port and reading light and curtain for some privacy. Stayed in a four bed female dorm. We had our own bathroom in the room. The location was phenomenal in the city and there is food and drinks downstairs. Only downside no kitchen to put things in a fridge as no outside food or drinks is allowed. The night I was there there was live music he was so good! I am staying again at the end of my trip. Will definitely stay here always and great value for money. Bring a lock you can lock your things in a cupboard in the room if you have a small lock with you
