In order to check in, you need to first push past all the smokers blocking the doorway. Check in is all self serve. They don’t have any dark curtains so the lights from the city make the room bright enough to read in at night. There is a pull down “curtain” but it doesn’t block any of the light. On my second night I was in the shower at about 2000 when someone started pounding on the door. I asked who it was and they said “security” and I let them know I was in the shower. They were gone by the time I came out. At 2300 I was awaken by someone else pounding on the door for several minutes. I had an early flight to catch so I didn’t answer. I wouldn’t stay here again for that reason alone.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Ideally located only a few steps away from Temple Bar district, the facilities and rooms were spotless, comfortable and welcoming, and the staff are beyond friendly and helpful. The only negative comments I have are: 1) There is no common kitchen, and you're not allowed to bring food from outside and eat it in the common areas, but the food options on site are very limited. This is unfortunate since there are many great takeout restaurants nearby, and part of the beauty of traveling is experiencing the local food culture. It's strange that as a hostel, their policies don't embrace or facilitate this. 2) The showers are in the basement, with no windows, no mirrors, and no plug outlets for hair dryers or styling tools! This is very inconvenient for women, unless you have a room with a private bathroom/shower.

No frills in my room. Zero. But who needs it, go out and experience the city. But if it matters to you, there's a small storage space for luggage, a small shelf, and a very small table. No TV, coffee maker, etc.

Shower in room had mold and just smelt musty. Out of 4 shared showers (all with the same previously mentioned issue) on basement level only one was in operation. Was accused of being homeless by Nana after showing my key card multiple times a day and still could not sit in the common area without being questioned. Would recommend spending extra money to stay somewhere else, not a friendly place for solo travelers. Staff outside of mentioned employee was very kind. Not the worse but have stayed at cheaper places with a much better experience before.
