The location you cannot beat. The staff were helpful and stored our bags as we arrived at 6am. The 2 person room was clean but very small. While breakfast is free, it is just toast and jam and bad instant coffee. We booked the hostels pub More

Great staff, clean, and perfectly situated. I never noticed any noise but that's probably because I was drunk 99% of the time...for what you pay you get a really good deal. The beds are comfy, the common room has games, tv, radio, computers etc, you get free tea and coffee and toast in the morning, and free use of an... More

This was my first time to europe and ever staying in a hostel and reading some the comments, I expected it to be dirty, but the rooms were so clean and the reception is really nice! I arrived 5 hours before check-in, but they took my bags no problem and I was off to explore Dublin. The beds were really... More

St. Patrick's weekend I stayed in a double room by myself on the third floor, so it wasn't as loud as it could have been. My room was clean, the shower was hot enough, plumbing was good, and the bed and covers were comfortable. It was located right next door to Temple Bar, so right in the middle of the... More

Exactly next to the famous Temple Bar and thus in the city center and very close to the station for the airport shuttle. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. They suggested us for e.g. a... More

The Brancles Hostel is located in the very center of the city and it has a very pleasant atmosphere. The rooms are not big but they are well equipped with wardrobes and individual bed lamps to make it easy for more people to share the room! The bathrooms are also very clean and in good condition. The staff is very... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in a private room with a double bed and a private bathroom. The bed was soft and the room was warm. We didn't encounter too much street noise at night up on the third floor. The Wi-fi signal is pretty weak outside of the common area. The hostel is secure. Everyone has to have a... More
