Not enough outlets. Bathroom dated and definitely too small for 2 large dorm rooms of females to share 2 toilets and 2 showers.
Das Frühstück inklusive war eine Farce, es bestand aus je einer Sorte Toast, Marmelade und ner Schokocreme, kein Aufschnitt. Ansonsten waren die Zimmer sauber und für ein Hostel angemessen ausgestattet.
One big minor is that the hostel is nearby a methadon clinic. Not the most safe place at night.
But when entering the hostel you must show a security card so no addicts will get in.
The room had a kettle, coffee, and cups. I know it's not a big deal for them, but for travellers, saving a few Euros each day on a coffee is nice and adds up. The staff was friendly. Breakfast is super basic, but again, more than most hostels I've stayed at! Great location, near shopping, dining, and airport bus routes! Highly recommend.
Super friendly and helpful staff. Comfy bed, spacious dorm room; though I couldn't open the window.
I'd stay here again.

Me gustó la situación centrica del hotel cerca de Temple Bar. La habitación está aceptable, lo que menos me gustó fue el desayuno; la organización de este es caótica.
They are missing the basic elements of stay....cleanliness of room, bathroom amenities and operation....there is no soap, bathroom is a little smelly and shower is leaky. Can not control the day water temperature. Breakfast has no fruits, no napkins....basic stuff is missing. Room has a large window that cannot be closed at all.
I found it was a lovely place close too temple bar and the train station

This is the first time I stayed in a hostel. This place is excellent. Porick and Jason could not be more helpful and accomodating. Facilities are clean and well maintained by a staff that really cares about your comfort. I feel like I am at a 5 store (dormitory) hotel for the price of a breakfast...and breakfast is included!!!! I hope the hostels I am staying at on my 3 day coach tour are as nice but I have a feeling that these guys are a breed apart from the rest!
Apesar da equipe ser atenciosa, havia muito barulho nos corredores, sendo impossível dormir mesmo com protetor de ouvido. Wifi muito bom. Quarto minúsculo, padrão hostel.
Our room was simple and completely adequate for a day out and about in Dublin. The breakfast was simple (cereal and toast) but worked fine for us. Provided parking was much less expensive than the parkades, in spite of being a little tricky to find. Staff were friendly and helpful.

People were very nice and helpful. We only used this place for one night and choose this place only because it was the starting point of the Shamrock Tour. We had a private room, but the halls echo and the doors slam shut, so it was very hard to get a good night's sleep with people coming in and out. We did have our own toilet and sink. We were on the floor with private rooms and there is only one shower for the entire floor.
The staff are so friendly and welcoming when you arrive at this hostel! Always willing to help when needed.

Basic and convenient
The hostel is nicely situated on the river near the 747 airport bus stop. It’s next to the oldest pub in Ireland and a 15 minute walk from the national gallery. Quiet, polite, basic and friendly, with an array of tours on offer. The breakfast was toast and cereal though. Not great.
Bra hostel
Hyffsat bra frukost

Das Personal war mega lieb und hilfsbereit, Die Putzfrauen waren fleissig und die Lage super zentral. Blöd war nur, dass die Toilette undicht war und unten auslief und die Duschtüre nicht richtig zu ging, sodass der Boden dann nass war. Und die Betten waren, also die Matratzen waren gewöhnungsbedürftig.
Auberge sympa, petit déjeuner gratuit et cuisine à disposition des hôtes.
Extraordinairement placé pour les visites, proches du tramway qui port ele même nom (Four Courts ;)) !
Ekstremt harde og ukomfortable senger. Slitt og gammelt. Styr også unna frokosten.

Lady with black hair in the kitchen demanded that I wash my breakfast bowl. Man at the front counter was helpful. Middle aged couple entered the room at 3am and the husband started coughing and then threw up on his bed and went to sleep in it.

Rude staff, and I was denied entry claiming I was drunk.
It was 2 in the afternoon, my flight arrived at 8am so had been awake mega early.
I hardly qualify having 3 pints of Guinness being drunk.
Won’t return.
Actually spoiled my stay in Dublin.
