This was the first hostel I stayed in, in Ireland anyway, and I have to say it was nice, great value 16 euro, and considering hotels are still ripping us off I thought that was great considering what it's used for:) ideal for large groups, have twin and double rooms too :) ideal location across the road from train station...

We really appreciated the helpfulness of the night staff and the ability to book tours right from the front desk. The room was great, huge and divided so as to provide some privacy. Hard beds, but that's to be expected in a hostel. Clean bathrooms and breakfast of toast and cereal is included. Well worth the money. More

The interior decorating was fun and had many hangout areas to make friends and cook. The service is great! They will go above and beyond to meet your needs. The location is great, in between the bus station and downtown. The bathrooms hadn't been cleaned Yet that morning and there was matted hair and a large dead bug in the... More

Stayed here for one night with my parents. Great location, not much parking outside but they directed us to a free car park for the night within walking distance. We arrived late at night which was no problem with reception open to greet us. My parents stayed in a double room with ensuite and were more than happy. I stayed... More

First of all, my boyfriend and I called early in the day to book a room, because we were not sure what time we would arrive. They said straight away that we could book it if we really wanted, but there were plenty of free rooms, so we should be fine anyway. We preferred to book it and we booked... More

The hostel is well-located, and you will be nicely welcomed. The host can help you arrange tours if you want, and light breakfast is included as well. The only pain point is that there are so many people that it becomes more difficult to meet new ones. The bathroom is OK, but really basic though, but it is a very... More

Hostel in good location, with comfy beds. However, the night we were there (off season) the hostel was full of local deros who had had too much drink and drugs and were having screaming matches in their rooms, the halls and all around the hostel. This is the only hostel we have felt unsafe in during 8 months of travelling,... More
