We booked this place in December almost 3 months in advance for St.Patrick's Day. We paid $76.34 per night which is pricey for a shared room in a hostel far from the city center, but it was the best deal we could find since it was a holiday weekend. A month before our stay, Ingrid emailed us saying that she was raising the prices, and if we did not want to pay we would have to find elsewhere to stay. At this point, there were no other affordable options in Dublin, so we reluctantly paid. When we arrived, the door to our room did not lock, there were items left behind in the closet (such as old socks and food) from previous guests, and the room smelled strongly of feet/BO. Additionally, the one restroom shared between 20+ people did not have toilet paper for most of the stay. I also had multiple friends stay on different floors who reported having the same experience. Unless you like BO and random people coming into your room, spend the extra dollar and stay somewhere else.
