Okay, this might be the best hostel I've ever stayed at. I'll be returning back on my way out of Ireland. I have terrible insomnia, but the pods were quiet (free earplugs at front desk), two USB outlets and a shelf for your stuff, plus a few hooks for your clothes. A free room locker under the bed that you can use your own number to access. The curtain closes you into a comfy private space. I'm too old (54) to want to stay in a bunkbed situation, but this gave me a tiny little tunnel room for privacy.
Other notes:
* Place to drop off bags before and after check in is available
*Extremely kind staff who care about your needs. Just ask!
*Lift available so you don't have to lug luggage
*Rooftop lounge for sunny days
*Lovely community areas with strong wifi
*Bar area!! There is a fabulous hearty Irish breakfast bar for ten euros, or six for porridge. Breakfast until 11am.
* Beer and wine for a little friendly pub experience right there if you don't want to leave. Lots of tables if you are a digital nomad and need to work
*Location cannot be beat. Walkable to everything in Dublin, and train station is less than a block away
*I had my doubts that I would sleep well with my insomnia, but slept like a baby in my pod
Highly recommended for single travelers. Felt very safe and welcome. Thanks guys!
