The Dawson Hostel

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.

A good place

Clean and nice hostel, right in the City Center. No frills, beds are clean and comfortable, bathrooms are clean

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.

Service was good . Room was clean but room was noisy due to pubs around the property

Very neat comfortable and nice hostel the kitchen is very neat and the common room is nice as well most importantly the staff members are nice too would highly recommend
