The hostel itself was fine. The other guests, however… Steer clear unless you like loud college-aged people screaming and slamming doors past midnight, EVERY single night.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
I liked that the private bathroom was very clean and the beds were good as well. The only thing was that the walls had many markings/scrapes on them and it gave a weird vibe to the place. The downstairs bathrooms where the lockers are were not as clean as one would hope. The lockers were great through. Overall, I would definitly consider staying here again.
The lamp and outlet by my bunk didnt work and the staff didnt care.
The shower was plenty hot.
The self check-in was easy but resulted in rarely seeing staff
Shower took forever to drain which meant you were standing in a pool of water which was a bit gross this was the only issue, had a 4 person dorm with ensuite
Prior to staying I have read many favorable reviews, I saw one or two that they didn't like the hardness of the bed or that they couldn't open the window further, a slow elevator or the cleanliness. This was not my experience at all my four bedroom dorm was immaculately kept. If you go when there are many groups leaving all at the same time of course the elevator could be slow but it was never my case. This is a fantastic place to stay centrally located to many of Dublin's main attractions , just a short walk over Bridge to be right in the middle of the Temple Bar District. This ideal location makes a fantastic base for exploring the beautiful city.
The buffet breakfast every morning was full with rotating choices in terms of food selections. For a small additional charge or as a standalone you could even have pancakes warm with strawberries or Nutella.
The staff exceedingly friendly and made accommodations for me if I needed something. A big shout out to Assad who is the manager of the groups for breakfast and also to Charlie the master mixologist who's designed the bars signature cocktails. With an ample seating downstairs and the corner that has a pool table many people will enjoy just to relax watch the footy on television and of course don't forget live music on Thursday and trivia on Friday. As I frequently stay in hostiles I must say that this is one of the best experience I have encountered.
Highly recommend
