Dublin hostels

Pros: Everything. I stay here regularly when in Dublin. It is an excellent hostel.

Pros: There are two common shower facilities on the ground floor.

Cons: I have been asked not to return to Times Camden Hostel. Here is why, and this is the type of people who work at Times Camden Hostel: They would selectively use their 14-day rule to ban anyone who questions their low level of guest service. So long as you are stupid, illiterate and docile, they love to have you at Times Camden Hotel, but the moment you question anything, they will ban you. In other words, they are revanchists - is this a kind of people that you want to associate with? Ask yourselves. Their main business concern is to get rid of you, and it is not welcoming you. This is because you, as a guest, is absolutely worthless and utterly replaceable to them. Last night, at the check-in, I asked the receptionist why the Times Camden cleaning team would enter the rooms at 9.15 am and start cleaning the rooms when the check-out time is not until 10.30 am. For merely raising this bad customer service question, I am now banned from Times Camden Hostel. I noticed that other guests are alcoholics (who snore like they are dying from suffocation during the night), recent migrants whose English are not so good, have mental illnesses, or otherwise come from the lowest strata of Irish society, thus the Times Camden staff members are not too concerned with treating them with any dignity or respect. Thus, when I raised this acute bad service question last night, I would have to be retaliated against and banned from Times Camden Hostel in their way of thinking. In their way of perverted thinking, anyone who questions their bad guest service is automatically a troublemaker. Please think carefully about whether this would be the type of place that you would want to stay.

Pros: The Nice people and the enviroment of the place

Cons: Sometimes you heard you neighbours talking

Pros: The humanity... the friendliness...the free food and above all the Dubliners...Lovely people...

Pros: I always enjoy staying here,amazing staff,great clientele. Nightly events. Excellent hostel.

Pros: Excellent hostel,great staff,nice vibe.

Pros: Nice and available personal. Great facilities, very clean and really good location. I highly recommend this hotel.

Pros: Location is good, the private double bedroom is clean and comfy. Private bathroom which works well.

Cons: The private bedroom is on the first floor and it’s very noise. You need to wear ear plugs to be able to sleep, specially if you’re staying during the weekend. You can also hear people walking on the corridor as if they were walking inside your room.

Pros: Great staff, and very central location.

Cons: The Times Hostel has a great central location and is super clean and friendly. However its location right next to several nightclubs makes it incredibly noisy at night. Great if you want to go clubbing, not if you want to sleep!

Pros: Rooms clean and tidy. Staff really friendly and went out of their way to accommodate our early check in.

Cons: Shower was always cold!! Our room was close to the communal area so it was very noisy at times, especially at 1am.

Pros: The staff is very nice and the facilities and cleaness of the place satisfied our expectations.

Pros: Location was really good and the place was very clean. If you wanted to eat meals at the hostel and spend a lot of your time there, it's a nice place for that, although overpriced as far as hostels go (even in Dublin). Definitely a party hostel but I was just surprised at how expensive it is.

Cons: Staff were really unhelpful and made my stay somewhat negative.

Pros: Based on the price point we got it at, it was a great stay. We stayed in a 6 bed unit which was surprisingly comfortable. The hotel bar was good, and great atmosphere while the Eurocup was on. Overall the place was always clean, lots of staff around which was nice. The demographic was crazy... People of all ages which was fantastic! It couldn't be closer to Jameson. Great bars and restaurants around it as well. It's about a 15 minute walk to temple bar area. 10 minute walk to Guinness.

Cons: The bar as good as it is, a bit of a tourist trap... It shouldn't be €5-6 for a pint... The rooms were hot as hell, the window barely opened and only at the end of stay did we find out we could request a fan... Not much else to complain about.

Pros: Nice environment. Staff is quite nice.

Cons: I really missed a heater in the bathroom.

Pros: All of the staff were sensational, hospitable, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Natalia, Mark, Davee, Mario, Takato, Lidia, Rachel, Meghan and Matt made this stay superb and the reason it is the only hostel I will choose in Dublin the future.

Cons: It was too good.

Pros: The facilities are modern and relatively clean. Rooms are well maintained and mattresses are pretty comfortable. The bar area is nice and live music is a plus. Building and rooms are also secure. Swipe cards are required to go anywhere and there’s security at the door.

Cons: Upon arrival, the staff was more concerned with being cool than with being courteous. Morning staff was much better. What rubbed me the wrong way about this place is that they fail to provide any kind of secure storage for even the smallest of items. There are lock boxes under the beds, but require you bring your own padlock or pay a ridiculous amount of money to use the luggage storage in the basement. Plan ahead or snuggle your valuables. Also, no outside food is allowed. Strange for a hostel. The reason given is that plenty of food is available on site for purchase. Most things on the menu were expensive for a backpacker. The restaurants and supermarket across the way are the best options. Also, the provided shower gel dispenser is always empty and make sure you double check the toilet paper before you sit down. This place clearly has its eye on being trendy to attract the young, party crowd. It’s nothing similar to what backpackers are used to from every other hostel on the planet and fails to provide the community experience and chance to meet new people that solo travelers look for. Considering the price isn’t even on the lower end, there are better places in Dublin.

Pros: Bed was comfortable

Cons: Everything was ok

Pros: Location and atmosphere were fun.

Cons: I can’t say too much here since it IS a hostel, but the walls and doors are very thin and you can hear the loud, drunk patrons coming in all night. It made for a good daytime nap, but not the best nights sleep.

Pros: Good location close to restaurants, city centre and markets. Bed is comfortable and locker is good. Elevator is available. Price was fair. Bar is good if you want a party hostel.

Cons: Lack of organization, of clean bathrooms, toilet paper missing, staff is clearly not enough for the hostel size, there is no quite are besides bedroom (if it is since it is a party hostel). Well, it is for who likes a party hostel.

Pros: Fabulous value for the money. €52 for two people in a spotlessly clean double private room w bathroom. Right in Smithfield steps away from great restaurants, cinema, pubs cafes and live Irish Music. Right above the Jameson Brewery Tasting Rooms. Laundry facilities, on site pub and cafe and luggage storeage. Room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, warm and quiet. Felt very safe also.

Cons: Nothing. It was all good!

Pros: Easy to feel included and apart of something as a solo traveller. The staff and environment in general make the hostel have a home like feel. Convenient plugs and lights with every bed. Good food at breakfast and for lunch/dinner. Close enough to walk to city center, temple bar area etc but far enough that you feel safe because you don't have to deal with drunk strangers, and the loud streets of the city centre.

Cons: Beds were comfortable but creaked. Every time you turned or moved, the whole bed would creak and move. Also it was very hot at night due to having a very small window in the room.

Pros: The staff was nice

Cons: In general its not clean and the location is quite dangerous

Pros: The staff here is absolutely wonderful and very friendly! You can ask for suggestions on places to go and things see and to do and they give out detailed descriptions on what you should expect to experience at each destination! The Night Staff was equally wonderful! To my surprise the night guards/security we're very friendly and helpful and happy to give good directions to near by places. The bartenders are cheerful, funny and have great suggestions for local restaurants and nightlife activities. The reception team is outstanding! They are warm and welcoming and available 24/7! They can help you with any delemas or concerns may come up during your stay. On my next trip to Dublin I will stay at the generator and the staff has a HUGE part to play in desire to book a room with the generator again!

Cons: The only things that I can complain about is the fact that the laundry room often has a line waiting because the dryers take too long to dry. Just for one load it can take up to two to three hours before your clothes become dry, but even then they may not be dry and this leaves people will still be waiting to take their turn while their clothespecially sit soaking wet. Also the bar could be open later.

Pros: The hostel is near the Trinity College

Cons: Sometimes at night, it could be a bit noisy since there is a bar just downstairs. However, the personnel at the reception are not that friendly and their attitude is kind of disappointing when I asked for help. There is no elevator at the hostel.

Pros: Absolutely excellent position Breakfast included Special night events

Cons: Room (especially toilette) was pretty cold Bed so small that you could not even sit on it without bump into the upper bed Everything is quite old in the building

Pros: The staff members were very eager to help you and please you. They would offer services without even being asked. They appear to be very glad that you are staying at the Times College Street. I'd ask for a bottom bed assignment because I have to use the toilet a lot during the night, and the staff would comply with my request without any hesitation. This is truly remarkable. I am not too keen to share here other exceptional services for the fear that too many people might come and stay at the Times College Street. I just want to keep it as a secret to myself!

Cons: The cold, rainy weather outside!

Pros: Is the best hostel in Dublin to be honest

Pros: Very good breakfast, fun themed days (free sangria, breakfast with pancakes), nice staff, who helped us with tips of the city and spacious room.

Cons: Room was very cold, my lugagge storage wouldn’t open, so I had to leave my bags unsecure and just one bathroom for a 10-people room.

Pros: Location.

Cons: The heating was off for sometimes.

Pros: Excellent location. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Use of the kitchen.

Cons: Clean tidy room with a nice bathroom. Excellent location for site seeing. Breakfast was ok. Quite loud during the night with people walking past the room and banging doors. Use of the kitchen was confineant especially when travelling with children. Staff where helpful, we did ask for some milk pods in the bedroom but was told we would have to go to the kitchen. A few more pods for the tea and coffee facility would have been better. Beds where clean and comfy, plenty of towels for the bathroom and shower was resonability warm.

Pros: Perfect location, amazing staff, clean and tidy rooms.

Cons: Very poor breakfast

Pros: Room was nice, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was basic but nice. I particularly liked the individual light and socket above every single bed, very useful and convenient. The staff were excellent. Nice bright decoration on the interior.

Cons: There really wasn't anything I didn't like, a suggestion would be to improve the breakfast by offering some fruit also perhaps.

Pros: Clean and serene environment, all facilities are in good workable shapes

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: No heating
