Dublin hostels

Pros: Staff! Especially Michelle <3

Cons: Due to the central location, the bar on the street is noisy.

Pros: The location is very good!!

Cons: It was very loud at night, because the room windows just facing the Bar.

Pros: Amazing room, great location, friendly staff, cool vibe... This is the definitely the perfect place to stay while in Dublin!

Pros: Great location - 5 minute walk to the Temple bar area. Staff were very friendly! Breakfast was simple but great to have every morning.

Cons: Located in an alley, had to be careful walking at night

Pros: It was decent

Pros: Enjoyed our stay. Excellent location. Clean and comfortable room with ensuite. The kitchen was spotlessly clean and so were the dining area and TV room. Loved the vibe of this place. The girl who was in reception during night (sorry forgot the name) was very friendly and booked us a taxi for next morning. I would strongly recommend this place for anyone visiting Dublin.

Cons: We stayed in a 6 bed mixed dormitory room. The height between lower and upper bunk beds was so low that no one could sit straight in the lower one without head hitting the top bed. That was quite uncomfortable. Also some of the charging ports were not working.

Pros: Staff was really helpful and flexible about leaving luggage, giving directions, etc.

Cons: Light above bed wasn't working. Bathroom doorstop meant the under bed storage crate was unusable. Bathroom light and FAN switch outside of the bathroom meant needless noise for roommates. Upper story hallway floors feel spongy. While location is super handy, my google mapped entryway was creepy -down dark alleys with plenty of passed out parties on the curbsides.

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: I like everything: location, the staff, atmosphere...

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: The hostel and was great and it's in a good location and I really enjoyed my stay. Everything you need is close by in Smithfield and I think this is a great part of Dublin. I was in a dorm room with a lovely group of girls. Bathrooms were clean and tidy as were the rooms. I would reccommend the hosel to others and met some lovely people there even though I am older than the demographic. : )

Cons: On the first night there was a really loud group next door and sleep was not really possible and it took a long time for anyone to do anything about it even though many guests asked the group to quieten down and made complaints. Also to help with noise perhaps dampners on the doors would be a good idea allowing others to sleep while people are coming in and going out. Small thing but get some better pillows, I ended up using my towel and a jacket instead of the pillow provided which was a pancake. (small thing but helps with sleep)

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: 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: Good location, nice hostel with its own bar and merchandise. Our room was okay, the toilets were quite the walk, especially the men bathroom (I had to walk one floor up). staff was friendly, however one member of the staff just walked in the room to empty the bin without waiting for us to tell her to come in. we were still sleeping. there was also a stoppage in the drain and we didn’t really like the boxes for our belonings. (a drawer would have been more useful and convenient) there’s a couple of good stores around the corner and its next to the jameson distillery so that was quite fun. we also tried the breakfast one day which was really tasty. not a great hostel, but certainly good for its price!

Pros: I like the cleanliness and the beddings plus the locker

Cons: nothing

Pros: Building and facilities are nice. Staff is friendly and there is a nice atmosphere downstairs. Smithfields is a good area although there are plenty of dubious people hanging around the square at evening.

Cons: I stayed 4 nights, none of which were able to sleep. Most roommates (solo travelers) were gross, and disrespectful. Hours between 23:00 and 4:00 are literally impossible to sleep, any day of the week. Making noise, slamming doors, smell of alcohol, puking in the bathroom, turning on lights or unleashing undesirable smells. Very unpleasant experience.

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 Location suits my appointments and I can get the Tram to my favourite restaurant !

Cons: The Rain !!

Pros: Good location and comfortable beds

Cons: Limited power points to charge phones Staff weren’t all that approachable (with the exception of a few) Have to put for luggage storage No lockers secure lockers provided in room

Pros: Super Friendly & Helpful Staff - Plus the front desk person remembered my name the Next Day. What a great way to feel valued as a guest, well done! Convenient Location, a block from the bus station was the best. From there I could drop my bags and hit the shops and sights, which started just one block away - Perfect! They have a sauna, pool table, library and other lounge in the basement. It wasn't well advertised, as everyone seemed to be on the main floor. Great security - Key cards for every floor and room.

Cons: Wi-Fi not available in all rooms, so they recommend all guests go to lobby to use wi-fi, which does bring a community feel, but still inconvenient not having it in all rooms. Breakfast could start a little earlier for travelers who have early morning flights or plans. Nightly movie advertised, but not available Sauna available for only 3 hours, 1 for females only, 1 coed, 1 for males only. It was a little uncomfortable having just one naked old man in the sauna when I arrived, so I turned around and left.

Pros: The potential lnternational guest.

Cons: Rooms are so small. Noise has lot.

Cons: The lad snoring

Pros: New good facilities and comfy beds.

Pros: Breakfast didnt have much Options but not bad also. good value for money and great facilities.

Cons: nothing. it seemed perfect.

Pros: The organization, staff, willingness to help, cleanliness, excellent

Pros: Absolutely loved the friendly staff that made everything feel so relaxed and comfortable and welcoming. The ambiance was just like a homey college feel and other guests were always friendly as well.

Cons: The Wi-Fi did not go into the room I was staying in at all. In any case, I'm not going to stay at any other hostel when I come through Dublin. They've earned a loyal patron.

Pros: Bed was comfortable and the staff was very friendly

Cons: It was a bit noisy in the night and some facilities were broken

Pros: It's a hip place, the rooms are clean, and the staff were externally helpful in helping me track down my wallet that I had left in a taxi.

Cons: Nothing, the place was great. There were some annoying persons staying there, but that's to be expected and it's not the hostel's fault.

Pros: Great location, near of cathedral and Temple Bar region. Good kitchen and convenience area. Beds were confortable.

Cons: Few power plugs in the rooms. Poor breakfast.

Pros: The staff on reception were all very pleasant and extremely helpful.The location was perfect for us, close to the gig venue we were booked for. It was reasonably priced for Dublin (but not cheap), comfortable and clean. Beds and towels were fine.

Cons: The shower room bathroom was overlooked by another building (hotel?) with no curtain on the window. The frosted glass allowed for privacy from the ground floor level but not from the five stories looking down on us. Breakfast choices were pretty limited.

Cons: Rowdy room mates

Pros: Nice facility for a bargain price.

Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: The reception is very kind and helpful, thank you guys

Cons: The price is too high for hostel :(

Pros: - Location was great - Comfortable mattress

Cons: - gross en-suite. I ended up using the shared bathroom the majority of the stay - very minimal outlets throughout the hostel aside from in the common area (closes at 11pm). The outlet next to my bed wasn’t working and there went any other available options in the room which turned into a big inconvenience - unorganized staff. Was rudely told by housekeeping twice that I was to have been checked out when I had paid for late checkout the day before. Once I showed my paper slip they apologized and said it hadn’t been noted on their board. - can be a noisy hostel (bring eye mask and ear plugs)

Pros: The hostel is right in the center

Cons: There were just 2 showers on one floor for all girls and 3 toilets.. That's not a lot ^^ No charger close to the bed and no lamps.

Pros: Kinlay house is located in a great area, near many of Dublin's main sights. I would definitely stay here again. Never felt unsafe or uncomfortable.

Cons: The rooms were a tad cold, as well as the bathroom. The cleanliness of the bathroom was also not the best. Someone had thrown up in the bathroom, and it was left for most of the day.
