Hostels in County Dublin, Ireland

Adequate place to stay at the right price. Upgraded from an 8-bed to 6-bed and check in via kiosk was relatively straightforward. The hostel itself is quite sizeable and the hallways can be easy to get lost in. We found the service from staff to be hit or miss, with many staff being friendly and accommodating while one staff member was exceptionally rude and abrupt with us and other guests too (despite having no complaint, just a simple request).

Great experience staying here. Facilities are new, the self check in and check out is easy (for those tech savvy people, it’s a savoury that I don’t have to wait in line). Great bar and food options, comfortable bed. Usual downfalls like snoring roommates but that’s what you would expect to share rooms. The individual curtains are great, just a slightly too short and the windows can be bright. Noise level is ok, if you are sensitive to noise, make sure to get a room away from the street or bring your ear plug. Breakfast can sound expensive (10-11 euro depending on when you book) but for the price in Dublin and the convenience, it’s a good value. They have basic things like (very basic) filter coffee, tea, orange juice, cold cut meat, cheese, slice bread, apple, fruit salad, Coleslaw, pasta salad, cucumber, tomato, beans, sausage, hash brown, scrambled egg.

Stayed there for a week and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The sleeping pods were comfortable, clean and breakfast was really good! There were also in-house laundry machines at 10 euros for washing and drying combined, which I personally found a bit expensive, but appreciated the option.

The hostel is a little bit disappointing, if I’m honest. Pros: -very clean bathrooms -amazing hot shower -location -free locker (deposit required) -keyless -free coffee pods and water The biggest downside is the sleeping pods. They are incredibly squeaky and flimsy, every more you make makes a ton of sound. What does not help is the fact the rooms are pretty much empty apart from the pods, so there is virtually zero sound dampening. I kid you not, but laying in the pod I could hear stomach rumbling of the person in a pod above me. It was very weird and awkward. If you or someone is snoring/coughing- you’re done. The nights were not very sleepless. Additionally, no charging ports worked in my pod and I had to use the kitchen Other cons: -towels and sheets are cleaned, but they are overused. Although washed, they have old stains and are generally worn out If you’re looking for a social hostel - this is not it. There aren’t any common areas (apart from small backyard and kitchen, which are always empty) and the hostel does not facilitate any activities If only the pods were a bit more convenient and a tiny bit more soundproof, it would be much better, but this issue really outweighed lots of positives for me

Hostel is centrally located, just a few minutes away from the Dawson light rail (LUAS) station. Nearest supermarket is around 10 minutes walk away. It can get quite noisy into the wee hours due to drinking area nearby… there are also lockers below each bunk bed and power + USB charging points.

Really helpful and understandable staff. Gave me a hand with the heavy luggage upstairs. Though the Trip booking made a mistake, the staff gave me a well welcome, especially in the late night arriving. By the way, the shelf by the bunk do need to be cleaned since it was with lots of dust.
