Great spot right in the city center! The room was clean. The bathroom was nice and tidy (even though it was shared by 11 other roommates), but bring your own shower gel as they only provide hand soap. You can get a towel from reception for 1 euro, which is handy. The bed was comfy with clean sheets, and I appreciate the USB c charger built into the bed (remember your EU adapter if needed). There's a small kitchen area where you can whip up simple meals, perfect for saving some money. The location is really convenient, especially if you have an early flight. You can catch the 16 Airport bus at 6:10 AM near Trinity College, or take the Dublin Airport coach just across the bridge. Both are an easy walk away. Overall, it's a good choice if you want a clean, central place to stay without breaking the bank. Just remember to pack your shower gel and maybe a towel if you don't want to rent one. The kitchen and great location make up for the few missing amenities. I'd stay here again, especially for the perfect city center spot and easy airport access.

The beds weren't very comfortable, especially the bunk beds. I stayed for one night, and while it was manageable, the small gap between the bunks was an issue. If you're tall like me, you'll find it difficult to sit up on the lower bunk without having to lean your head out.

The staff were extremely courteous and knowledgeable of a huge variety of attractions, tourist and local. The rooms and common areas were always very tidy. The location was perfect, right in the middle of the very heart of Dublin. Countless options on where to eat, which museums and exhibits to check out, multiple bus routes including various tour buses all within a block or two of the hostel. To anyone visiting Dublin, I highly recommend staying here! I will most certainly be returning.

The bathrooms were a little small, but not terrible.

VERY friendly, professional and helpful staff. I asked for a bottom bed and this could be reserved when available. Although the location can get noisy from outside traffic and people, the overal impression was that of quiet order and cleanliness. Kitchen and eating area/lounge are kept spotless. Staff gives helpful information about places to eat and practicalities when visiting. Rooms and en suite bath are cleaned daily, although the bathroom needs attention. Overal impression is that the place is well-run. Bunk beds have individual light and power sockets and a planchette. Matresses are clean and thick enough.

The bunk beds. Chief drawback is they are "communicating", instead of insulated. Meaning that when one person moves, the other one (above, below) feels it or moves too. You also can't sit up in the bed below without touching the bed above when your back is longer, which requires a bit of contortioning sideways whenever you need to get out. And there are no curtains or partitioning to give one some privacy when in bed - or potentially disturbing other sleepers when you switch the light on at night.

Location very good, transport all close to hand. The kitchen and communal area all one space, since that is all that is available. Then so be it, however that means there is no choice of quiet space. It did seem that reception were playing over system what they chose…loud music doesn’t blank out other music or volumes, it simply makes it something to escape. So maybe that works for the staff! Cleaning staff diligently kept kitchen scrupulous, even with some visitors having less than desirable cleanliness manners….. So thanks for that….. and a coffee/tea available, thank you! I had a very comfortable stay and hope to return in the Spring. Thank you!

No quiet area and it did seem that reception turned on what they wanted to hear and at high volume, which added to other volumes makes it an area to escape. So maybe that works for the staff

everything was perfect.however there was an emergency on 1 of the days with theft. seemingly a burst pipe somewhere but .yself and another guest were co.pletly soaked with the flowing g water in the lift and elsewhere. this leak was resolved promptly by the staff. was traumatized.for a bit but I guicky regained myself. I was all dressed up at the time to meet up with family .I re showered dressed make up hairdryer and caught up with them all be it later.i still give 10 marks to abigails hostel. and I would like to stay again for my couple of days touring g the city but I think I'd be due this on a complimentary basis due to the cir umstansis..what do you think. Ashley on 085 2119877. so I can reconsider my review. thank you In advance ...

only the above did get a fright but I'm good at recovering

I'd not stayed in a hostel for a maybe 30 years (I'm 58). But if there all like this I'll start using them more often. Great price. Great location in the city centre on the quays. The staff were very helpful and explained how the place worked. I was in a room (access by swipe card) with four bunkbeds and a shared bathroom. All very clean. Bed & sheets etc were fine - you make the bed yourself. There is a lockable steel cage under the bed which is big enough for a large rucksack/small suitcase. But you need to bring your own lock, so I used the pay-for lockers in the public area on the ground floor (perfectly safe). The large common area has free tea & coffee, fridges for your own food, a large area of seating & tables, sofas and a tv. Everything went very smoothly. No problems with the 3 others sharing our room.

It was all fine.

Can't say enough good about this hostel. Dorm rooms, showers and toilets cleaned twice daily. Free milk. Kitchen constantly monitored for cleanliness and tidied. Very well located, on the Liffey. Steps away from the inter city bus stop. Close enough to Temple Bar to stroll there but not so close that the noise would be an issue. Convenience store a few meters away and a bigger grocery store less than 15 minutes away. Lovely, friendly staff. Non squeaky bunks. Lockable storage under the beds. Lovely, bright common room. I could go on.

Hard to think of anything I didn't like.

Everything was good about this place. Easy to find, right in the middle of the city center, near the bus stops from the airport. All facilities provided, luggage room for free, kitchen with all necessary utensils and cutlery which was clean, ensuite rooms with clean bathrooms, cages to store your luggage securely, spacious and well maintained common area, plug by the bedside, cable slot as well, which saved me from having to buy an adaptor for UK/Irish plugs. Staff nice and helpful. Within 5 minutes walk to any important attraction within the city center. Has an elevator as well. Comes with a lot of recommendations for tours/bars/restaurants/ways to spend your free time.

No bedsheets were provided (maybe it was a misunderstanding). The pillow was uncomfortable, especially if you want to sleep in any position except on your back. Be mindful of the 10:30AM checkout time, however you can leave luggage in a separate room and there is plenty of space to comfortably hang out in the lobby.

THIS IS THE BEST HOSTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and competent; the facilities are clean (including the bathroom); the bed is extremely comfortable (like... hotel-comfortable). The people here are also very friendly and there's constantly people mingling everywhere - sign of a good hostel. Lastly, and best of all, there is NO fear of having your stuff stolen. That is my biggest peeve with hostels, and this hostel is extremely secure! They provide you with cages (but you must bring your own lock) and have cheap rentable lockers if you're extra antsy like me. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I like how secure it was ,staff were very helpful, friendly, good relaxing atmosphere.great access to all areas,with bussed plentiful to take you city or country wide ,taxi,light rail, train station, bus from airport will leave you so close to accommodate,

Friendliness,, cleanliness, any amount of tea/coffee z24/7, secure luggage area ,safes, toilets and showers in room. , need card to get to lift and card to enter bedroom.cleaners do a great job keeping the place in a hygienic condition
