I had a really great time at Garden Lane Hostel. I really did enjoy the proximity with the center, without being in the Temple Bar part. At just a few blocks I could wander in the Liberties, stop in a nice coffee shop and enjoy some bakeries among the locals during their lunch break.
Also the person at the reception was really nice and welcoming, and I did really appreciate the flexibility regarding early arrival and late departure and how we can leave our luggage for free. It’s not in every hostel.
I met people who stayed there for a short period, and for long periods, everyone is nice.
I was also happy with the breakfast, it was always available, even in the evening for a late snack.
I will definitely come back in this hostel, because I like the spirit of smaller hostels that understand what it is to be a backpacker.
Thank you for being part of my good experience of Dublin.
