Great stay for a few nights away, easy to find and check in, able to leave our bags in a locker for a small charge safely and secure. Room wasn’t the cleanest but was good enough. Location was perfect for Temple Bar area and restaurants. Would recommend for anyone on a budget.

A fabulous find!

I think people travelling with children can be put off by the thought of staying in a hostel but I would absolutely recommend this place. It was clean, the rooms were really comfortable and it was affordable in a very expensive city. We would definitely stay here again. Oh and the staff were lovely.

Chillin at the clink

The clink in Dublin is a centrally located hostel offering beautiful buffet breakfast a wonderful chill out area with bar. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and in spite of the fact that they had several huge groups were able to take the time to attend to each guest

Wasn’t quite sure what to expect but we were very happy and comfortable here. Very clean room and lovely modern shower room. Staff were friendly and food/drinks very reasonably priced. The docks, Temple Bar, Camden St and Guinness Storehouse all within walking distance. Very convenient location. Great atmosphere around the place too. Looking forward to visiting Dublin again and will be using here as our base again! Would recommend here if on weekends away with friends or want a City break!

The hostel itself was fine. The other guests, however… Steer clear unless you like loud college-aged people screaming and slamming doors past midnight, EVERY single night.

I liked that the private bathroom was very clean and the beds were good as well. The only thing was that the walls had many markings/scrapes on them and it gave a weird vibe to the place. The downstairs bathrooms where the lockers are were not as clean as one would hope. The lockers were great through. Overall, I would definitly consider staying here again.
