We had a great stay at the hostel. The staff was helpful and friendly, the aesthetic of the place was pleasing, and the location is convenient to Dublin, town, and heritage sites. Rory is creating a hostel that has character and a strong sense of design. I really like the kitchen. My niece was excited by the outdoor spaces. If the water temperature regulation of the showers improved the entire package would be topnotch. Oh yeah, but you can't beat the price.
