BUG Review
This small hostel offers clean but standard hostel accommodation with a first floor common area that includes a kitchen and a TV lounge with Internet access.
Price Dorm bed €17.50-21.50 Prices are in euro and are inclusive of all taxes.
This hostel is really average, small place, but it needs some cleaning. Serious cleaning. The bathrooms were dirty, but not disgusting, just dirty, but the beds......... The covers smelled like they had been washed 2 times in the past 2 years, that was disgusting, and Dublin can get chilly sometimes, so the covers are sometimes necesary.No lockers, and the door to our room was always open for some reason, I did feel uncomfortable about leaving my things there.The staff was really nice, and the location is good, but the hostel in itself is just average.

Booked in overnight to go to the Iron Maiden concert. I was an ideal place to stay. Staff are very friendly. Had some great crack with everyone who was there.

I found this place to be really dirty - puke in the bathroom for 2 days, no TP. Sheets were supposed to be available but we were always told to "come back later" by the unprofessional staff. The kitchen and common room were dirty and unkept. Not a great experience.

The staff is awesome they help with every aspect of where to go and what to do and the place is exceptionally clean. The rooms are comfortable and pretty large for the very low price. They are also a very short walking distance from all of the pubs and clubs on Temple Bar. The kitchen is huge and the lounge is very comfortable with cable tv and a large selection of movies to watch. The best feature is a small outside court that has a table and chairs with a bar-b-que. Highly recommended.
