In brief

What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic facilities — The 'Facilities' rating is the lowest at 7.2, indicating that while the hostel is clean, amenities may be more limited compared to other properties.
  • Security system can be confusing — At least one guest mentioned the lock system felt a little weird to use, suggesting a slight learning curve with the key card and door code setup.
  • No on-site parking — The property does not offer parking, so guests arriving by car would need to use public car parks or rely on public transport.
  • Unspecified check-in window — The check-in window is 15:00–23:59, which is standard but may be restrictive for guests arriving late at night.

“Stayed here for three days on a leisure trip. The location is brilliant – just a 5-minute walk to Temple Bar and about 15 to Grafton Street. Staff were extremely helpful and the place was spotlessly clean. The lock system was a bit odd to get used to, but everything else was great.”
