Excellent location if you're planning on attending an event at Croke Park stadium. Other than that, Dublin city centre is reasonably walkable from there. Convenience store, pubs, and some Asian restaurants are a short walk away. As for the place itself, I think it's pretty top notch for a hostel. Shared facilities get cleaned regularly, so are most often in fairly decent condition.

This was an excellent property for anyone looking for a short stay on a budget All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I did have to rent a locker for luggage as I arrived well before check in time due to planned activities on the day but for €8 there are convenient and safe lockers available. And at this time I was allowed access to the property’s WiFi and common areas to prepare. All common areas were well maintained with a spacious self serve kitchen area, with an attached indoor dining area, plus outdoor seating and access to a small laundry. The room I had chosen was as described and clean and safe with plenty of power points and a lockable cupboard for each bed and although some of the shared bathroom facilities were showing their age you could see they were regularly checked and maintained. With an 11am checkout there was also ample time in the morning to refresh and grab a light continental breakfast before departure. I would recommend and wish to thank the staff for all their hospitality and diligent work

Suited the purpose of my stay, nice big building, check-in was easy. My only gripe would be, it could be explained more that the address is UPPER Gardiner Street (I made the mistake of looking for it in Lower Gardiner St).

This was great! Caveat – I think my room was upgraded, since they're doing renovations. Everything was clean and comfortable and I really liked the 'cabin' style bed, really offered privacy. The free breakfast was very basic but, also, free! And it did the job so it's difficult to complain. Only small issue was that due to the renovations there was noise in the morning, starting around 8:30 on a Saturday. Didn't bother me (when else are they going to do the work? Better than it going on at night, imo) but I know some people get upset about this sort of thing.

Wonderful Hostel Experience

I stayed at the hostel for 13 days. The atmosphere is serene, and the staff are exceedingly attentive and kind. The breakfast is marvellous! The bathrooms are always impeccably clean, thanks to a regular cleaning routine. I felt very welcomed, as there are many Brazilians working there, which made me feel even more at ease. I most certainly recommend it!
