A nice hostel close to city walls. Friendly staff and rooms clean and tidy. Free tea and toast in the morning.

There are two hostels around the block from each other. I stayed at the newest of the two.The rooms were nice and comfortable. The manager was a really great guy, i had actually experienced a nightmare roommate (actually concerned for my own safety) and I went downstairs and decided to sleep on the couch in the common area. Turned out, he was in there too, he had heard the noise (result of my crazy roommate when he came home late) and was there keeping watch. He asked me why i felt the need to sleep downstairs when I had a room to stay in. I told him the whole story and why i was shook up. He was very upset and disturbed for my situation and told me he would immediately kick the roommate out. I asked him not to because nightmare roommate already fell asleep. He was so kind and told me I could stay on the couch and even brought me a sheet to try to stay warm.

That following morning he informed me that he kicked out the nightmare roommateat 7 am sharp. He then apologized for my experience. I told him not to worry, it had nothing to do with the hostel, it was the idiocy of the guy staying with me. I will spare the details of that incident.

I stayed here two nights and they had very clean bathrooms and the kitchen downstairs was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect and we were able to get to everywhere we wanted within walking distance. I was also able to park directly in front of the hostel.

I would certainly stay at this hostel again and I thank the staff for being so accommodating and good to me.

We stayed in their extension - another house which seemed to be a carbon-copy of the main/primary hostel - which is on the same block. Our buildling was beautifully and thoughfully decorated (the owners are travellers themselves - they share their photo albums of their adventures in the common area). Each floor (containing 2-3 rooms) had its own bathroom and there were additional bathrooms on other floors. No problems having to wait in line. The communal area was very homey. A large open space kitchen and dining area, a sun room, and a beautiful garden. Another communal area had a TV and computer attached to the wireless (although they also had free wireless throughout the home). The hosts (who stayed in the primary building) were extremely hospitable, be preapared for a quick orientation of the city upon arrival. Location is slightly remote but is only maybe 6 or so blocks from the historic city wall.

great location right near the bogside. the hostel has 2 loctions, we stayed in a 4 bed female dorm in their princes street house around the corner from the main hostel. the house was lovely with a homey feel, though it was starting to shows signs if wear and tear and the beds were not particularly comfortable. 2 of the staff members we met were helpful and friendly but the girl who checked us in was totally hopeless and did not have a clue! on street parking is available for free if you can get it, otherwise you might have to park far away from the hostel.
