i found this hostel on hostelsdublin.com advertised at 12 euros per night for a 6 bed room,i though it best to pay for the 4 days on arrival,48 euros
2 days for business and use the other 3 for leisure and take in the city
when i arrived tues lunchtime 11th may i asked for the 6 bed,the staff member told me it was 18 euros per night and 20 euros on the frid and not 12 euros
i protested that it states 12 euros on the net and they said 18 euros is the price
after going around the city with a heavy bag i was just glad to get it off my shoulder so paid the overated price
the room i was given was dirty looking and had a foosty smell and the bedding was shabby,the showers were in the basement and i was on the second floor at the other end of the building
after getting a nights sleep early next morning i asked another member of staff of the price jump and was told thats how it is,if i had booked online it would have been 12 euros
i asked to check out and can i have a refund for the 3 days left and was told NO.
i had done what i had to do on the day of arrival so went online in the hostel and booked an early flight back home in disgust and not being able to spend the next few days enjoying the city
so the moral of the story is BOOK THIS PLACE ONLINE OR BE OVERCHARGED!
6 to 8 euros a night more can make a big diffrence to your budget
i will mail them for my refund for the two days i didnt stay there for and i left them a bag of mints to chew on in the meantime,SO WATCH THIS SPACE
apart from only doing there job the satff are great and very helpfull
and for all that dont know,there is anumber 41 bus that leaves from lower abbey st just of o'connel st for the airport at 5am,journey takes around 20 mins 2euros 50c you got to have exact fare,info thanks to the staff
