All is clean, the staff is always helping you if you have any doubt. They have different plans for the days then you can have a nice day outside at the city but when you are back you can share with more travelers

“It’s been a great time spending my nights here!”

It’s comfortable & the room and the bed is spacious. But the cherry on top was Eoin’s service! He was very helpful, welcoming, and was a lifesaver!

I loved the hostel! The room was great and comfortable! I'd like to thank Owen, who gave me tips on what to do and eat in the city. He's very helpful and always willing to help!
