The location is great, we were about a 10min walk from most of the attractions. But I do have to say that it is very noisy as it is located in front of a main road and also a side street that leads to the Temple Bar (3min walk). If you are a light sleeper and not a night person, request a room away from the main and adjacent street. In the same building they have a pizzeria that we recommend, the food is tasty and as a guest of the hostel we get discounts on meals. In our floor we had a full bathroom and a toilet. In the joint hallway area there is a small space with a microwave, water boiler and toaster. The hostel has a lounge area in the main floor and a roof top ideal for smokers. Other than the outside noise and some other guests not being respectful (noise and cleanliness), we had a great time and enjoyed the location.
