Very Good

Location is great. However the beds are very old and the USB ports only occasionally worked and charged devices very slowly. It was not possible to charge two devices at the same time even though there are two port. Also the reception staff should point out that people actually need to use the bedsheets and put them on their beds because several people just slept on their beds on the bare mattress/pillow/duvet which I found unhygienic.

This is one of the best hostels I've stayed at, with great staff and clean facilities. The only issue is the noise from outside, with people talking loudly, but there's no control over that. Overall, it's an excellent place!

I think we've got an unbeatable location in Temple Bar, overlooking the Liffey. This is a converted hotel, so families and older guests feel at home, too. Plus we've got a bright, open-plan communal area-great for socialising, web surfing, watching movies… For fun we have a free walking tour every morning and a pub crawl from the hostel every evening. We're quite close to Trinity College and Dublin Castle, but my favourite place to recommend is the Guinness Brewery.
