Location: The hostel is centrally located, close to the city center, tourist attractions, and public transport like the Dawson light rail station. It's also within walking distance to shopping areas and a supermarket, making it very convenient for guests.(based on 9 reviews)

This is a no-frills hostel that is acceptable at the right price. Given high demand, we paid upwards of 40 euros per person and it is certainly not at the modern standard you would expect at that price. Taps broken, loose fittings, non-functioning air con, and the building itself is peculiarly planned out with sprawling rooms across an unusual multi-mezzanine layout, making it a maze to get to and from the common area from certain rooms. This is certainly not a bad hostel, it just isn’t particularly great either.

Location is great. Beds and toilets are good, place is clean but the kitchen is small and the tv room looks rome like a dining room. So not much to do in there besides sleeping...

Hostel is centrally located, just a few minutes away from the Dawson light rail (LUAS) station. Nearest supermarket is around 10 minutes walk away. It can get quite noisy into the wee hours due to drinking area nearby… there are also lockers below each bunk bed and power + USB charging points.
