They were able to store and accommodate my luggage. The attitude overall is you get what you get. The staff believe because its budget accommodation we should accept the black mold. Some staff are friendly, however it became obvious they were not interested in providing customer service.
The indifference from the staff, particularly the Hindi girl at reception she acted like because it was budget accommodation that the hostel didn't need to provide heated rooms in the WINTER. Winter in DUBLIN!! There was black mold in my room 403 and the leak from 406 is likely to cause continuous issues. Everyone in the hostel is getting sick from the mold or from each other. Additionally, they're charging 11 pounds to do 1 load of laundry. They keep the rooms freezing and most of the guests don't want to speak up because they are getting ignored. They also charge more for the female dormitory, so if you're a woman expect the pink tax.

Das riesige Badezimmer war top und hatte Hotelklasse. Das Bett war in Ordnung. Die Betten haben alle USB Anschluss und eine kleine Ablage, so dass man nicht zwangsweise einen Reisestecker braucht. Die direkte Lage am St Stephen‘s Green ist natürlich unschlagbar und es ist auch nicht zu laut.
Die Küche war ein Zustand. Es gab nur zwei kleine Kühlschränke, bei einem war die Tür kaputt. Es gab keine richtigen Geschirrhandtücher, also hat jeder einfach nur alles stehen gelassen und es gab keine scharfen Messer. Ein Vorhang am Bett für mehr Privatssphäre wäre schön gewesen

It's a great location and comfort level for a cheap price.
Kitchen wasn't clean and the location is next to a club with a loud noise during the night, but it wasn't too bad.

The staff was very kind and helpful.
It was very loud from the club next store. People were going in and out throughout the night, turning on lights and not being considerate of others trying to sleep.

Price, Location, 24 hour reception, safe room for bags, zero tolerance policy on guests smoking, drinking, and a strict "quiet hours". Perfect for traveling workers.
Needs some general upkeep and maintenance - general sanding and painting, and a regular carpet steam clean. Bathrooms could come with a mop to allow guests soak up wet floors, and somewhere to hang towels. Kitchen is guest's responsibility but rules need to be enforced.

La salle de bain est propre et pratique.
Les matelas sont plutôt confortables
Le service à l’accueil est 24/24
On s’est demandés si c’était une auberge de jeunesse pour backpackers ou un foyer pour personnes sans abris. Nous n’avons pas fermé l’œil de la nuit. C’est mal fréquenté, par des gens très sales qui ne respectent pas les règles, passent des coups de téléphone toute la nuit et regardent la télé sur leur téléphone. Parlent fort toute la nuit. C’était horrible et nous aurions même préféré dormir à l’aéroport pour prendre l’avion le lendemain. Nous regrettons d’avoir payé pour ça
De plus, il n’y a pas de quoi charger les téléphones au niveau de chaque lit !!!

The location is in the center, near Trinity College and various museums. The place is spotless and I didn't expect this quality for a hostel. There are things to improve but in general is very cozy. The staff is great also.
Maybe the bathroom floor is a bit old, but they clean it every day.

Muy buena ubicación y personal muy amable.
Habitación un poco justa y enchufes solo en algunas camas.

Locatie is erg dicht bij het centrum, ideaal.
Apart €5 per tas betalen om deze een paar uur te mogen stallen na ons verblijf.
Airco in de kamer maakt erg veel lawaai en kan niet uit. Het was 20 graden buiten dus airco was niet nodig, de kamer was niet te warm of te koud.

The beds were comfortable and the staff were so nice.
Some of the storage units under the bed were zip tied, that was just annoying. And the doors up the hallway bang very loud so you'll hear them all night

Le seul point positif de cette auberge est l'emplacement. J'ai pu faire la plupart des activités à pied et il se situe à environ 30min de l'aéroport en bus express.
L'auberge est collée à une boîte de nuit et à une très mauvaise isolation, de ce fait, impossible de dormir avant 2h du matin même avec des boules quies.
Je ne sais pas si c'est dû à la configuration de la baignoire ou au manque d'attention des autres occupants de ma chambre, mais le sol de la salle de bain était constamment inondé. De plus, un rafraîchissement du lavabo qui s'écaille et quelques coups de visse pour remettre le porte serviette ne seraient pas de trop.
L'éclairage est constitué de spots au plafond qui soit ne fonctionnent pas, soit clignotent en permanence.

Staff was great and the location too !
No mirror in the bedroom, the key card was barley working. No kitchen... I'm really disappointed. Wait a few months till the house work is done to visit this place !
