Room had high ceiling and comfy beds. Staff were friendly but a little confused with regards to restaurants and taxi's etc. One shared toilet and shower for the whole floor! Although these were kept clean. Worth what we paid. More

A comfortable stay in a cosy hostel. The rooms were very clean but the decoration perhaps a little garish. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. Overall, an excellent little place on a bustling street in the heart of real Dublin. More

They ask you to pay in advance. The room was careless, dirty, ugly. There were some problems with the Heater and hot water facilities...Shared dirty bathroom & showers. They don't invest a euro in minimal maintenance operations, that´s for sure. More

I was very impressed with the Holyhead. The staff were friendly, the room decor was vibrant and it is very much a cheap and cheerful place. I particularly liked the palm tree painted on the room's wall! Location wise its excellent, the showers always had hot water and the beds were relatively comfortable. For what you pay, its worth it,... More

We went to Ireland for a long weekend, and the hostel had been booked before I got a say in, and after looking it up a bit, I was dreading it. I had heard so many bad things that I was debating going anymore! But, we went. We arrived in dublin at 9am, but check in wasn't until 2pm. However,... More

Very clean. Small space but more than adequate for what we needed. the location is great, staff helpful. Very much a 'mind your own business and come and go as you wish' place which was great for us. Only suggestion would be more counter space. Not tables but perhaps some wall shelves. We had 2 small chairs and a very... More

It's a good place to spend time in holiday. I spent the time in this hostel with my 3 friend and we have been very well. The staffs are very kind and helpful. If you need an aid, they are there and ready to help you. Our room was clean and nice. I always saw the bathrooms and the toilets... More
