Very convenient for exploring Dublin. Get what you expect from a hostel, 24/7 front desk which is good. Only small issue is rooms at the rear of the hostel are a bit of a trek to get to and back onto a nightclub, fine if you're in the club until closing which we ended up doing both nights.
The staff was great. I don’t like the policy of paying to store luggage on the day of check out. The building is interesting with twists and turns in hallways to get to a free bathroom, tv room, and kitchen. We do plan to stay there again.
The accommodation was very clean apart from mixing man and women in the same room it made me uncomfortable but they were able to move me which i was greatful.

Location was amazing. Showers were not the best, but fine for the price of the hostel. The beds had curtains on the side, but the top and bottom didn’t. The drawer can be locked (bring your own lock).
The room was mixed with men and women that was horrible.
