Hostelworld says

The centrally located Kinlay House Dublin is just a few metres from Dublin Castle and Christchurch Cathedral, offering travellers ?a GREAT bargain?, according to one Hostelworld guest. Many of our users cite the downstairs pub as a highlight of their stay here, with one of our visitors saying they ?would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone, especially students, as it is awesome and in close proximity to Temple Bar and other hopping places in Dublin?, while another guest said the hostel has ?lots of people to meet but is far enough away [from Temple Bar nightlife] to be quiet at night?.

they cancelled my booking, I received no email from them saying they've cancelled, I still had all my booking info on hostel world, the staff ended up putting me in two different rooms on my stay. seems to be a hostel that houses a lot of homeless people. not the best atmosphere for meeting people and only a small window of opportunity to actually use the kitchen.

Fabulous

Very nice staff. They kindly let us change beds multiple times. The Hostel is located right in the Centre of Dublin which made it hard to sleep for me, but good for exploring. The kitchen didn’t have any labels, so it could sometimes be a challenge to find sth. Also, they didn’t have a lot of utensils for cooking. The bathroom and toilets were very clean!

Superb
Sep 01, 2023
Overall, it's a good deal. Location is good but because of that, it can get noisy at night from the people on the street. The bathrooms were clean and always available, despite there only being one shower in the women's room. And the showers were hot with good pressure. Breakfast is simple and sufficient - cereal, toast, coffee/tea. Beds are clean and mostly comfortable but might not be so after several nights, I only stayed two nights. All in all, I'd stay again.
