There are a few pros to this place. It is in a safe location next to the Luas red line and Dublin express bus, making it easy to get to any attractions. The bedroom is cleaned well. However, if you are a picky traveler, I strongly advise you not to book here. When they say the street below is loud, get ready to hear every conversation and its contents in addition to the traffic. There are 2 toilets and showers for 6 rooms which are constantly running out of toilet paper. Some guests tend to disregard the “no smoking inside” rule. The couch bed is uncomfortable, and the room gets hot, even though it was nice outside. The common area is nice, but you’ll have to rely on the other guests to keep their part clean. A few of the stairs need repair. Renata and Lucas will respond quickly but they have a hands-off approach so you may have to solve some issues yourself (for example, I had to disassemble the fire alarm to stop it from beeping). If you’re okay with roughing it this place is suitable. I hope to come back one day, but will be picking a different hostel.
