This was my first time in a hostel and it was very good. The staff were friendly, very fair, the bouncer by night was a true gentleman, very kind. The only problem is that there were no mirror in one of the rooms, only a tiny little one too high for shorter people on the door. A largish group of... More

Stayed here June of last year. Rooms are fine wouldn't expect anything more for the price. Receptionist was a bit frosty not very welcoming. Ideal locatin for guys/girls getaway at a budget. I wouldn't go bringing the partner here for a romantic night away!! Can be noisy before you go out but by the time you come home no noise... More

I stayed for 5 nights. It was just OK. When showering sometimes the water would start off freezing, then get scolding hot. The bathrooms weren't always clean and for some reason the toilets don't always flush. The staff members seem to leave the windows open a lot... when it's cold outside. The complimentary breakfast was nice and the fully stocked... More

Stayed just for the 1 night. The facilities at this hostel are nothing over the top. What's good about it is the location. Secretly placed just off the high street and in good location to lots of the bars and clubs in town. The room was clean and the beds also clean, only slight let down was the shower in... More

We booked a private double room with ensuite which upon arrival was found to be a double bunk bed with another single bed in the room. This would have been fine if james had not kept banging his head on the bed above. The room and bathroom were both clean and a reasonable size, though both rooms were very cold.... More

Based on my room: Twin single room (in a separate building from the main hostel) with only one functioning socket(only one plug worked) and only one window in the roof. Room kinda smelled strange as a result. No wifi or internet in this separate building. Also have to share two bathrooms and two showers with 6 or 7 other rooms.... More

It was a hostel, with a bed a shower and breakfast , perhaps a little overpriced. Room was fine, bathroom a little tired, but no hot water in the morning was an absolute disgrace. A push button type shower, a reflection of the guests or the owners? Superbly well equipped kitchen I would be disappointed if this was the best... More

I was so excited to FaceTime my family (obviously we are on a different time zone) and the security guard yelled at me and aggressively threatened to kick me outside for the night. Granted, it was 3am but I was in the common area. His response was SO NEGATIVE and he made me feel very uncomfortable. I was not being... More

Irish hospitality means a warm welcome, friendly staff and a homey atmosphere and Neptunes is the epitome of Irish hospitality. I stayed in a 6-bed dorm during a Shamrocker Tour and found the rooms to be basic yet comfortable and cosy. My bed was great and the location of the room was a bit further from the street so we...
