I only spent an evening here but it was great! Everything was clean and well organized and I enjoyed my stay! Shops and pubs within walking distance and easy to navigate. Would definitely stay here again!
Excellent location if you're planning on attending an event at Croke Park stadium. Other than that, Dublin city centre is reasonably walkable from there. Convenience store, pubs, and some Asian restaurants are a short walk away. As for the place itself, I think it's pretty top notch for a hostel. Shared facilities get cleaned regularly, so are most often in fairly decent condition.

I really recommend this places easy to walk everywhere and also close to take transportation, guys at the front desk are helpful, definitely I will back there.
This was an excellent property for anyone looking for a short stay on a budget
All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
I did have to rent a locker for luggage as I arrived well before check in time due to planned activities on the day but for €8 there are convenient and safe lockers available.
And at this time I was allowed access to the property’s WiFi and common areas to prepare.
All common areas were well maintained with a spacious self serve kitchen area, with an attached indoor dining area, plus outdoor seating and access to a small laundry.
The room I had chosen was as described and clean and safe with plenty of power points and a lockable cupboard for each bed and although some of the shared bathroom facilities were showing their age you could see they were regularly checked and maintained.
With an 11am checkout there was also ample time in the morning to refresh and grab a light continental breakfast before departure.
I would recommend and wish to thank the staff for all their hospitality and diligent work
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.
I'm poor at speaking English.
So,I asked same things many times to staff there ,but they taught me so carefully, and even took care after that.
All staff were very kind.

1 night stay here for Dublin marathon. Convenient location as the hostel is central and about 20 minutes walk from start line. Breakfast was good to get as part of my stay.
First time in Hostel, pleasantly surprised. Great experience, better than my usual stay at Easy Hotel at double the price!
Friendly staff, clean facilities.
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.
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).
