Nous avons séjourné une nuit à 8 amis dans un dortoir de l'hôtel et l'avons trouvé assez sympathique. Housses de couettes et de coussins propres, état de la chambre et de la salle de bain relativement propre. Service à la réception parfait. Merci.

Ostello è in centro, comodissimo per raggiungere stazione degli bus (15minuti a piedi) e dei fermate bus da / per aeroposto (10minuti a piedi). Gli spazi comuni sono ampi e ben tenuti. Cucina è ben fornita di stoviglie ed ha due piani cottura.

Ho alloggiato in una camera da 10 femminile con bagno: this era spazio per tutte e it bagno era ben tenuto.

When it comes, it's a little plant of youth, it is full, it speaks all languages, of the movement throughout the day. Then once in the floors, your sheets in your arms to install your sleeping, it is quiet, clean, reasonably spacious for a hostel in full centre town, or rather HYPER HYPER centre, extra!

The staff there is many, so available, Nice, frankly nice. They even helped us to us dépatouiller to pay a fine and have removed a shoe. Ah oui, timestamps are beginning to 7h of the mat, and the police forces place the hooves to 7h10:(

Common ptit lunch room is spacious and we eat well. It's nice after fully TEMPLE BAR.

A very good price/quality ratio. The staff is very welcoming, always ready to share their passion for their country. The hostel is located in full Center of Dublin, in front of a judgment of bus and next to a grocery store. Everything is expected to stay is going well. I will put just a little flat because we have not had very hot in the rooms and bunk beds would be better if they were attached to the wall. Apart from these small details, the place is awesome. The common room is spacious and comfortable. Wifi is free and a fully equipped kitchen is at your disposal to warm small dishes and avoid ruining in restaurants.
