Hostels in County Dublin, Ireland

I lived in Japan back in 2016, and I spent approximately 6 months living in a Capsule Hotel in Tokyo, so I’m very familiar with the concept and I really like it. However, this was the first time I stayed in one with my partner. We are both tall enough men and I was not sure how comfortable we’d be. However, in the end, we had a fantastic experience. And the value for money is unmatched anywhere in Dublin and the surrounding area. The only issue we had was that the bathrooms were all in the basement, so if you needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you’d have to walk multiple sets of stairs to get to it. And there were also only 3 bathrooms for the entire hostel which was definitely not enough. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be returning.

This is a no-frills hostel that is acceptable at the right price. Given high demand, we paid upwards of 40 euros per person and it is certainly not at the modern standard you would expect at that price. Taps broken, loose fittings, non-functioning air con, and the building itself is peculiarly planned out with sprawling rooms across an unusual multi-mezzanine layout, making it a maze to get to and from the common area from certain rooms. This is certainly not a bad hostel, it just isn’t particularly great either.

I only have this one photo, but overall I had a good experience with the accommodation. One of the best things about this place is the privacy. Each bed has curtains, so you don’t really have to worry about people seeing you. It made changing clothes very convenient, and I rarely had to make eye contact with others, which is perfect if you’re more introverted. There’s also a light inside the bed area, so you can read before going to sleep, and hooks for hanging clothes, which was useful for items I wore often. In addition, there are personal lockers that can only be opened with a code, which felt secure. The bathroom was also relatively clean. However, the overall quality really depends on the people you end up sharing the space with. It was a bit disappointing to see how much the experience can vary. One night, I heard some strange noises from other guests, which made me feel quite uncomfortable and a bit scared. If you’re lucky with the people around you, this place can be very satisfying. My first night was great, but the second night was not as pleasant due to some inconsiderate behavior from other guests.

A lot of people’s cards malfunctioned the morning of check out (before 10am) and it was annoying to have to go down to reception to fix our cards and we are rushing to check out. Otherwise, it was a nice stay

The hotel is in the city center. It's a 10-minute walk from the Dublin Express airport bus stop. There are many bus options nearby to get to other attractions, and most Galway tour group meeting points are also in this area. The bathrooms and showers are very clean, and the staff cleans them frequently. The only downside is that accommodation prices in Dublin are generally very expensive.

旅館很乾凈，第一次住青旅，很安靜氛圍很平靜，早飯吃的飽飽的，旅館位置超級好，旁邊的酒吧超級大，有個大舞台氛圍超好

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.

Not very clean, to climb the stairs to carry luggage, the service is general, basically no service, the facilities are very old, the bed is not comfortable, the only advantage is that the car is very convenient, the door is the bus station, go directly to the airport, 25 minutes can go directly to the airport passenger building

The hotel isn't far from the station. The room was actually quite spacious, but the layout wasn't very practical, making it cramped when trying to organize belongings around each bunk bed. The top bunk was too low, and you couldn't even sit up straight on the bottom bunk. Underneath the bottom bunk, there were two large metal baskets for luggage, which looked big, but my 22-inch suitcase couldn't fit, so I could only use it for my backpack. There were no privacy curtains, but each bunk had a light, an outlet, and a small shelf. The room had a private toilet and shower, but the exhaust fan would loudly hum as soon as the light was turned on. You also had to make your own bed (put on the sheets, pillowcase, and duvet cover) and remove them and take them to the front desk when checking out. There's an elevator, which is a plus.

The location is convenient near the train station, and the hygiene was okay. However, the unprofessionalism of the front desk staff is appalling. While we were sitting nearby, a female receptionist (dark-skinned, large eyes) started talking about us in English, assuming we couldn't understand. Instead of doing her job, she mocked us, saying: ”I don't like Chinese people, they are the most foolish people here.” 🤬😡It is one thing to be rude to someone's face, but to gossip and insult guests behind their backs under the guise of them not understanding is cowardly and ******. We felt disrespected and unwelcome. Management needs to know that their staff are betraying the trust of guests. Immediate training or dismissal is required.
