The staff are very helpful and kind. There's a luggage room you can use too although be warned: you may need to play Tetris squeezing yours in. There were a ton of luggages in place.
But the room itself was serviceable, but highly dependent on who you get as per usual hostel rules. Not great procedures if you're trying to avoid getting sick. I wore a mask to sleep once I heard 2 people coughing and I only had the curtain to shield myself.
Breakfast options were fine. You get a good enough option to be happy to go about your way.
First time staying in a hostel/shared room, the experience was rather pleasing. The only downside was that no towels were provided, towels cost 2€ at the front desk. Overall cleanliness was good, the service exceptional! Breakfast was included, very diverse and tasty. Another great thing was the Kinlay Pub Crawl, would definitely recommend participating – met a lot of great fellow travellers and had a great great time!
A large hostel in the city centre. Even on a Monday, there are drunk Irishmen coming and going at all hours. One guy slept naked after he passed out at 0500. Nice breakfast.
Great stay! Solo female traveller and I stayed in an all girls room. Room was clean, a little stuffy, but great experience. They also do a pub crawl with the other hostels and it’s a great way to meet people if you are travelling alone. I would definitely book again. Staff was great and breakfast had tons of options.
