We have mixed feelings about this place. We've stayed in other hostels in Ireland so we do have a basis of comparison.
On one hand, they have a clean, spacious and well-organized kitchen, which is awesome. They're easy to find and have a private carpark onsite. The dining area has a fireplace which is lit at night. And it's nice to have an ensuite private bathroom.
On the other hand, the room is tiny (perhaps they can add more pics and state the size in the listing), the mattress is "sinky" and there's dust on the ledges and bedside bureau. No blackout curtains either.
Hot water (both shower and sink) takes a long time to arrive, we have to let it run for several minutes. The shower is the type where you press a knob to start and press again when the water runs out. Note that you can't control the water temperature. The sink is tiny too.
This is an old building so the sound and heat insulation isn't great. You can hear the conversations of people on the ground floor from the 1st floor and the sound of your neighbours' shower through the paper thin walls. You can also feel a cold draft from the window and door.
There're rules around check in time (fees for late check in) and kitchen usage time, which we understand but wish they've been stated in the listing.
There's no supermarket nearby so buy your supplies beforehand.
