We stayed for one night. Despite the good location and the friendly staff the cleanliness of the place lacks entirely. When we arrived there they gave us a room that hadn't even been cleaned nor the sheets changed. Then when we complained they gave us another room that also did not have the sheets very clean. In the end we... More

When we arrived at the hostel we loved it at first. Comfy beds, nice spaces for hanging out, good kitchen. However, the room was extremely loud when we tried to sleep. At 3:30 am the fire alarm in our room went off. The toilet on the floor above us leaked and it set off the fire alarm. Also, there was... More

The hotel is in great location - right nex to O´Connell Street, 5 minutes from bus stop to airport, 15 minutes to Connelly Station and about 20 minutes to Temple Bar. Simple rooms with usefull lockers and in January really nice temperature - the room wasn´t cold... More

I spent three nights in the Marlborough Hostel, and I truly liked the place. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, advising about where to go dining, dancing, shopping etc. Even explaining about the culture when asked. The room was clean. Fresh sheets at arrival however not changed during my stay. Did see them changing sheets every time somebody left... More

Advance warning for Marlborough Hostel: this is budget accommodation and they don't pretend to be flashy. There is no pretence with this plae, they don't claim to be the unique cutting edge amazing renovated georgian townhouse cleanesr and best in the... More
