"An excellent stay, and the location is within walking distance of Heuston Station, the Guinness Brewery, the airport coach pickups, the River Liffey and primary tourist attractions like Christ Church, Trinity College and St.Patrick's. I had requested an early check in, and when I arrived all was ready and the designated key available at the desk. I had the room with ensuite bathroom. The room itself is tiny - it is a student hostel, after all - but the common area for the apartments is generous, and has all the amenities (fridge, hob, toaster, microwave, TV) and a collection of utensils and cutlery. Like many places in Europe, no fan and no air-conditioning, which can make it a bit uncomfortable deign peak summer (end June / July). Staff is polite, friendly, and produces required items (towels, sheets, electric iron) readily when requested. If you're not going to hang around your room all day, and mostly require a place to sleep, this is a great choice. A little expensive for travellers from South Asia, where the exchange rate to the Euro pinches our pockets a bit - but pays for itself in lots of other little ways."
