I appreciated the security of the building, and I could tell parts had been recently renovated. It didn’t have as much community as I’m used to with hostels, but it was a fine place to crash after a long day out!

The room I stayed in was nice and clean but the outside traffic noise kept me up most of the night so the rooms could be better insulated against traffic noise the price of the room was very expensive for a old hostel building! Otherwise not economically best valve if you are looking for a separate room!
I only spent an evening here but it was great! Everything was clean and well organized and I enjoyed my stay! Shops and pubs within walking distance and easy to navigate. Would definitely stay here again!
Great hostel. really friendly staff and really clean and presentable.

I was placed in the Gallery Bed #3. It was directly beside the bathroom and the entrance. It was a "sleepless night" when I desperately needed some rest.
Great cheap nights sleep. It was confusing to find my way around and find the chapel area. 10 minute walk to Oconnell st which was nice, lots of option for.food.
I was a bit underwhelmed by the selection of „Bread“ which was provided as Breakfast (just white and wholemeal Toast), but everything else was really nice :)
I really recommend this places easy to walk everywhere and also close to take transportation, guys at the front desk are helpful, definitely I will back there.

I stayed in a bunk bed private room for 2 people. The room was small but clean. The bathroom is shared with other guests although I seldom saw anyone during my 2 night stay. It is close to city center. It also provides simple Continental breakfast. Storing luggage will charge you eight euros. It was an ok stay.
