The Times was my first experience in a hostel and was pretty much what I expected. I'd recommend it for young travelers who are in a larger group of people as the dorm style rooms would work great. My boyfriend and I stayed in an en-suite room, and it was very nice to have our own room to ourselves plus... More

We stayed in a private room and it was great - clean bathroom, reasonable rate and comfy bed. Great location. We were stuck in Dublin during the icelandic volcano fiasco and the employees of this place were super helpful. The free computer access and wifi certainly came in handy as well! Breakfast in the morning was just meh but maybe... More

If you are old note that this hostel has no lift. So if you're on the 3rd or 4th floor it might be a problem for you. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. Limited seating in small reception area...exhausting if you have to stand and wait for check in. My room was smelly. A smell coming from the toilet that... More

We stayed at the Times for 3 nights. The staff was warm & helpful. The room was pretty decent & clean. Beds, a private bath & free wifi, no extra frills. There are no elevators, so we had to carry our luggage up four floors. Word of advice - travel light :). Breakfast was the basic cereals & bread. We... More

I stayed one night in the hostel. The personal on the reseption was very friendly and helpful. I booked a 8-bed dorm, in fact I had one alone. The Room was big, with a table in it - no chairs. The floor was dusty. I was so tired when I arrived, but I couldn't sleep at all. The blanket was... More

We spent all week in the hostel and it was really nice, sharing with 8 other people was bit problematic though but they have smaller dorms as well. The location is amazing, staff very nice and we got free breakfast every day. Every day they organize some activities, we were there for wine and cheese and free ice cream...thanks:-). Also... More

I stayed here for several days while touring Ireland. As a female traveler traveling alone, I typically only book places I know I'd feel safe staying at. The Times was perfect! I stayed in a dorm room with about 4 bunkbeds and a private bath. Street noise was loud but after all day traveling, walking etc the street noise was... More

Good location, poor rooms (just beds, no chairs and closets). The heater was falling down but working well. The receptionists are nice and kind. The telephone for free international calls was not working. The breakfast is made with very, very cheap things, without much choices and after you must clean your dishes. This hostel it is good to have some... More

This was my first stay in a hostel alone, and it was a great experience. The people at the desk were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the hostel was in GREAT condition, the kitchen was fantastic (both because of breakfast and because it was a great place to just hang out). I stayed in the 4-person mixed room and had no... More
