Pros +
- Great location, clean. The dorm I was in was very good, big enough, lockers were big and with power socket inside which was so useful. The hostel asks guests to keep things off the floor and this makes a big difference. The dorm was tidy and not cluttered. Showers were spacious as well.
- Central location, lovely staff and everything was pretty clean. Great for a lil weekend away. Super close to Chinatown so amazing food very close.
- everything is very very very bad, food, cleaning, treatment if the guest, rooms, toilets all very bad.
Cons -
- The kitchen is sometimes very full and is in the basement (no natural light during breakfast). The included breakfast is very basic; bread, spreadable, cereals, room temperature milk and fruit juices. Not the best hostel to socialise.
- Only one lift, but that’s to be expected at a backpackers.

Central location, clean, decent price for in the city, helpful staff.
Some people seem to be living there. One lady in our room would return at 4:30 AM and wake us up. The beds could use curtains.
Location, forced-air ventilation
No chair/stool in dorm for top bunk guests to sit for dressing.
Staff were very on top of cleaning. Even the dish racks were emptied relatively regularly; they'd only get close to overflowing at meal times.
Nice people on reception
Room was ridiculously loud, I was in a 4 person dorm and for most of the time the other 3 were a family that treated it as a private room to themselves, the actual accom looks like a prison
Clean toilettes Friendly staff
Sometimes you had to wait extremely long for the elevator because there was only one.In the kitchen there were too less pots in my opinion.
Good breakfast, good room , tram very close to circular key for travel. Just a very convenient place to stay, will stay again. Thankyou
The people at all hours outside my room making a noise with no consideration that people were trying to sleep. Grrr
This hostel is a very nice place to stay, Spacious kitchen. Conveniently located next to the Central train station and Chinatown. I liked that the reception allowed me to take a shower after check out,
No common areas except for the kitchen.
Location great. Clean. Professional staff
No towels
The location was perfect and the staff very friendly. The kitchen was quite big and clean. The room was big enough and had lockers.
The bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner and are a bit small with no shelves or storage.
Perfect for a short term stay. Breakfast small but sufficient.Individual locker per bed (bring your own lock, it's easier).Close to Paddy's Market and Chinatown.
Power Outlet only in your own locker.
Amazing location easy to get to and from airport Had a good nights sleep Staff were nice Best hostel I’ve stayed in as of 4 bed dorms and the free breakfast- coming from me who has just completed the 35 days east coast tour WOULD RECOMMEND TO NAYONE ON A BUDGET AND WOULD SAY I WOULD HAW PAID MORE
Ignore all the bad reviews for price with free breakfast and free pizza on Friday it’s so good loved my 4 bed room and was nice and cold with air-con
Dorm room and location
The showers and toilets..not enough available
I especially like the location, which is very close to the central station. Another was that the currency exchange was close to the hotel.
The shower space was not necessarily clean.
