This hostel was exactly what I needed it to be for my week in Dublin. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean, and the bed was comfy. I didn’t spend much time there during the day, but nights were quiet. Yes, you can hear the door of the garage next door, but I didn’t find it terribly disruptive. I would recommend bringing a small USB powered fan for your bunk, as I felt they got a bit stuffy at nigh...

The location of this hostel is fantastic-close to everything you need and perfect for exploring the area. The beds are incredibly comfortable, making it easy to get a great night’s sleep. Everything is spotlessly clean, and the overall atmosphere feels very well maintained. The breakfast is also really good, with plenty of options to start the day right. Highly recommended!

This place is really great for the price and location. It's very comfortable and in walking distance of a lot of bars, coffee shops and a quick 18-20 min walk to the more touristy sites. The beds all have curtains to pull across for extra privacy which is really nice to have. The staff were extremely helpful and parking for a sprinter van was easily accessible right in front of the building for me...

We booked a private room and it was honestly lovely. The kitchen felt a little chaotic and the breakfast was very very minimal but generally we felt the hostel was clean and organized. Service was very good and helpful. Especially Ainara. She was super sweet and accommodating.
