BUG review
This hostel consists of several dormitories above an old Irish pub. It is absolute no-frills accommodation. The dorms are in a horrid state, with old beds and dirty duvets. Bathrooms are appalling, and the kitchen is barely a kitchen – it is just a hot plate and microwave plus a few plates and pans. It has no atmosphere and management are just looking to lure you in to buy food and drinks at the bar. It is basically just a place to crash if you can’t find anything else.

About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.

We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
