Traveller reviews

“Fair”
30 May 2025
The beds were really comfortable, there is also quite a bit of storage space under the bunk beds which is good considering the room wasn’t that big. Having breakfast included was good to not have to worry about it. The lounge and kitchen are nice, big areas.

“Welcoming staff and cosy vibes but basic facilities.”
25 May 2025
The hostel felt safe and the staff were welcoming. The kitchen upstairs looked really nice and had a good set up for longer term travellers.

“Superb”
19 May 2025
Very nice room (for 2 people), very friendly and helpful staff, okay breakfast, great location, and everything is taken care of.

“Fine hostel, not bad, not perfect.”
18 May 2025
The mattresses were high quality for a hostel and were very comfortable, the ladders and beds were not too rickety for climbing up and they have curtains, individual lights and sockets in each bunk which should be standard by now but somehow isn’t. There was a pleasant atmosphere and the location was good, close to St Stephen’s Green and in the now hipsterish Liberties. Great pint of Guinness in The Liberty Bell nearby. The kitchen was really clean and the common areas and balcony were lovely. Breakfast, if basic, was all you needed and a nice touch and I liked that the common areas were open all the time except when being cleaned. Appreciated the free 24/7 tea, coffee, hot chocolate and especially free milk! The fridges were unusually clean and nice and in general it was very well organised with clear signage, rules and labels for your things. Maybe there were more fridges and storage than other places have for the number of people? Generally there was a great vibe on the third floor with friendly guests and staff.
