Had a 4 people dorm room. The bed was the worst I have slept in. One in the room snored all night (to be expected). Bathroom and showers clean.
4.1
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).
4.1
Staff was amazing and helpful. Everything was clean and many helpful options to relax around. The only downside is the laundry which the dryer barely works. Best to take your clothes down the block for a couple Euro’s more. Overall an amazing experience. Would recommend!
4.1
This is a very comfortable space with friendly staff. We had a two person room, and the beds were comfortable and bedding lovely. The breakfast is modest, but we weren’t really planning on it, so that’s fine.
4.1
Mold in the showers. They close access to the laundry room when the kitchen is closed but don't tell you that, and the laundry room sign says it's open all day. Also the dryers are terrible and will just stop working but still eat up your money ($3/90 minutes of electricity). Even the staff dryer took 2 hours to dry a small load and you have to sit there the whole time because the staff take your stuff out (they didn't take it out of the staff dryer - they took it out of the regular washer and I walked in 2 minutes before my time was supposed to be up)
Gate code for parking changes every Tuesday but they don't tell you that, so you come back late Tuesday night not sure why it won't work and have to park in the alley while you run in and get the new code. Chapel 19 is stifling hot. Miserable. Gendered shower/toilet rooms but not sure why because each is a separate room with a door. But the men have a nice big walk-in shower for the bathroom that goes with Chapel 19 & 6. Women only get small showers. Also no shelves or anything to put your shower stuff on in the shower. No shelves or curtains in the dorms so very little privacy and no place to put your stuff. Don't hang your towel on the bed posts to dry - staff will remove them and they charge for towels. The breakfast is not what they advertise. Toast with 2 types of jam and 3 kinds of cereal. Stairs with torn carpet (trip hazard)
This hostel is way too expensive for the quality it is.
4.1
The room was what I expected. Fairly quiet after about 11:00pm.
4.1
While I stayed in a private double room with ensuite on the top floor, this was still a hostel. My room overlooked the very noisy street at the front, and there were loud young people screaming down the hall. This did stop after 1030 pm. The room was very plain and clean, the bathroom institutional looking. Some fast takeout food joints nearby. Very close to coach stop for the airport. My bus, however, never came, likely stuck in a traffic incident. Overall, quite an expensive and stressful stay. Dublin accommodation is as expensive as London’s, with less variety of rates. I’m sure it’s a great hostel though for those who don’t mind them. Plus Taylor Swift was in town so that May account for a few things.
4.1
The price is exceptional compared to other hostels. I don't know how they do it.

My first night in Dublin was spent at Gardiner House Hostel. Arriving late at the check-in counter, I was greeted warmly by the female staff. Her friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease, especially since it was my first visit to Ireland and I was unfamiliar with the country. The atmosphere of the hostel was welcoming, with clean and comfortable accommodations that exceeded my expectations for a budget-friendly stay. The common areas were well-maintained, providing opportunities to socialize with other guests or simply relax after a day of exploring the city. In addition to the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere, Gardiner House Hostel also offered convenient amenities such as free Wi-Fi and complimentary breakfast, adding value to my stay. Overall, my experience at Gardiner House Hostel was excellent. I would highly recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a welcoming and affordable place to stay in the city.

Would recommend if staying in Dublin and looking for somewhere to sleep at a reasonable price. There is a common kitchen that you can use and stock food in. Bathroom are common but still give a sense of privacy. Great place to meet new people andthe service is good. Breakfast included in price, staff very kind and helpful. It's very safe and has a good atmosphere the only issue might be that I would have perhaps preferred a larger locker space that could fit all my things so as to feel even more comfortable.
4.1
24hour service which is convenient. But for such an expensive stay (500 euros for 4 nights), we'd have appreciated a slightly more decent breakfast (it was really really terrible). We enjoyed our bedroom, rather comfortable bed although the windows don't close properly and it can get quite noisy.
4.1
Shared room with very loud young girl- who decided to blow dry her hair in 5am inside the room- also when came back to room at night - also was very loud and talked on the phone at night. Other wise the stay was pleasant
4.1

4.1
Very nice space and very affordable! Had a great time, and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast option as well! Easy to socialize if you want, and also easy to stay to yourself.
4.1
This was my first stay at a hostel, I was very favorably impressed. The people at the desk were very helpful and well informed. The facilities were great providing space and convience for meal prep, storage and refridgeration. Secure luggage storage, lockers available. Even books to read and guitars to play. Outside eating areas as well as a great dining area. Everything was kept clean.
4.1

Good place to stay. Clean and friendly. Good for getting into contact with other travellers
4.1
Great place to stay, has everything you need. Breakfast is good value. Very walkable from city centre. Staff all really nice. Only thing is sensor lights in bathrooms are a bit annoying, lights switch off every couple of minutes so you have to keep moving.
4.1
Very good place to stay near city centre very nice people and staff very helpful
4.1
Cheap and cheerful hostel located in a good location, not too far from O'Connell Street and some good bars/restaurants. The staff were friendly and the accomodation had everything you need from a hostel. The mattress wasn't super comfortable but fine for a couple of nights...as always with places like this - it's the people you meet that make it an experience and there's plenty of cool/friendly people staying here
4.1
We arrived at 2.30 in the night - so we did not use the Hostel very much.
.
We had an own room - with shared shower and toilet just across the corridor - with an upper and lower bed. The lower bed was fully OK - and the upper one "worked".
.
At (the continental) breakfast there was bread + jam + juice + coffee/the + fruits + cereals + milk. But no meat like bacon/sausages. Yes, it is worth the price for the (short) time we spent there - and it is a Hostel.
.
So - an overall fully OK hostel to stay at. (And there was linen and towels and coffee/the in the room).
4.1
Perfect for a couple of nights, could use with a few more shared toilets/showers. Nice breakfast, superconvenient location!
4.1
A nice well kept city hostel, cheap enough with clean rooms and an ok breakfast - not cooked, but sufficient.
4.1
Very nice staff. Always somebody to reach for questions
Counter open 24/7
4.1
Nice place to stay but if they say you have to be quiet at night to don't disturb others, why do they allow to have parties with loud music after 11:00 pm? It was hard to sleep having. The bathroom has also a bit of mold. You will receive a tidy and a clean bed. The breakfast is good ( cereales, milk, toast, butter, jams, orange juice, hot chocolate, apples, oranges, a bananas) you can get anything you want. You also have to leave a deposit in cash or a card detalles ;-)
