The location is fantastic. It's right next to all the overpriced bars in Dublin, but a short walk from where the locals go! It's walking distance from all the major sights and was very easy to find. The hostel's wifi signal wasn't great in the rooms, but the neighborhood has another free wifi network! Free breakfast was basic but much... More

Great Hostel, Located in the heart of the Templebar area. €20 from airport in taxi, drop off near to the hostel. The area is pedestrianised so limited access for cars. Plenty of things to see & do, the Street Buskers and Entertainers were out in force. The Hostel is what you would expect, no frills but very clean & tidy... More

My husband and I had a private room at the hostel and stayed for four nights. For the nightly rate, it was a bargain. We aren't particularly fussy and were perfectly aware that this wasn't a hotel. Therefore the small things, like carrying our luggage up three flights of stairs and the smallness of the room didn't bother us. The... More

The beds were okay, but the proximity to Temple Bar means earplugs are a must (They need to invest in... More

Right in the heart of Temple Bar, great hostel with really friendly staff. We especially enjoyed the lad with the neck piercing who agreed that a bloke dressed as a cheeseburger looked delicious. Proximity to nightlife means having a few too many is a high probability- so I personally had a great night's sleep. A couple of girls in our... More

Great location, just around the corner of The Temple Bar in the temple bar area. It is around 16euro per person per night, 6-people room and including breakfast. But the breakfast is just toast and juices. Staff is friendly and helpful. Security is also good. During the day, I need a card to unlock the door to the stairs and... More

Great location. Staff were very helpful but i found the other customers very anti social. I would stay again but it is not a homely environment. Maybe a little more involvement from staff to help with patrons being comfortable.

Everything about this hostel was great! Great location (middle of Temple Bar), great price, everything we needed was there!! 4 of us stayed there and we thought it was a great spot and definitely will be back!
