This was my first time ever staying at a Hostel so I don't have anything to compare it to. It was nothing like I've ever experienced before, sharing a room with almost a dozen other people and having to keep the noise level to an absolute minimum. There was very little room for privacy too. The people working there were very nice and friendly and did a good job accommodating me, providing me with what I needed and making me feel at home. I was not a fan of using the washrooms which were small and the floors were messy at times so it wasn't very satisfying. The Hostel was in a good location, not far away from Temple Bar and all the other pubs and museums where the tourists and crowds usually are, it was about a 20-25 minute to that area and I felt safe walking the streets at night. Overall, it was a decent stay and it works if you're staying in town for a few days but accommodations like this aren't built for long term stays so if you're in town for at least a week or more, you're better off staying at an actual airbnb or hotel.
