The hostel is well placed and aesthetical is very appealing. Staff was nice. We had a 5 bed ensuite. The shower / toilet were not clean enough, there was hair in the drain.

Great family stay

We were 2 adults and 2 children staying in a family room. The hostel is clean, comfortable and well-run. We would recommend this and would stay here again when in Dublin.

Ich habe musste dieses Etablissement im Rahmen einer Schulischen Fahrt besuchen. Hier habe ich hauptsächlich in Hostel genächtigt, musste aufgrund der Zustände aber auch zeitweise ein eigenes Zimmer buchen - schlimme Zustände zeigen sich im Hostel wie Hotel folgendermaßen: - Sauberkeit unterirdisch - überall Müll und stinkender Geruch - man hat es schwierig, sich nicht in der Unterkunft zu übergeben. Mülleimer wird über eine Woche am Stück nicht ausgeleert, trotz Meldung. In einen 6-Bett Zimmer kommt nun mal auch ein bisschen Müll zusammen, der vielleicht nach paar Tagen mal entfernt werden sollte. Unterm Bett liegen alte Karten, Harhummis, in den Schränken kleben Kaugummis - unbeschreibbare Zustände. Wenn das Personal zur Reinigung gebeten wird, wird auch nur oberflächlich gereinigt - anscheinend weiß man leider nicht was Sauberkeit überhaupt ist. Ein Handtuch muss man sich für 4 Euro leihen - an sich halb so wild, aber wenn ein frisch gemietetes Handtuch schon mehrere Haare anhängend hat - wie bei mir, frage ich mich, wie man hierfür noch Geld verlangen kann. - Sicherheit nicht gewährleistet, es gibt zwar Sicherheitsleute - hier werden aber unerwünschte Gäste vom weiblichen Sicherheitsdienst mit körperlicher Gewalt aus dem Hostel geschlagen. Das Hotel wäre sicherlich ohne Sicherheitsdienst sicherer. Zusätzlich ....

Hello Veronique, Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us.

5 out of 5
Majoituspaikan henkilökunta oli aivan äärimmäisen mukavaa ja ystävällistä. Kaikki sujui oikein mallikkaasti! Pidin myös siitä, että majoituspaikassa oli myös vartiointi. Lisäksi paikka oli todella tyylikäs ja siisti, sekä kaikki tarvittava löytyi kävelyetäisyydeltä: ruokakauppoja, ruokapaikkoja ja nähtävyyksiä. En keksi mitään pahaa sanottavaa tästä paikasta.
