    One of the cleaner hostels I’ve stayed at. I liked that the bathroom was located inside the room rather than a walk down the corridor, and the beds were cozy as well as quiet. Would recommend!

    The staff, Eoin, was really nice! I checked in quite late that day, but I still felt very welcomed and had a really great experience.

    When I arrived at my dorm, I realised I accidentally booked the normal ensuite, instead of the female ensuite. I was happily assisted by a friendly receptionist Eion, who helped me swap it without any issues! The staff here are always welcoming,...

    I loved the curtains around each bed. They made it possible to sleep in darkness even when the whole dorm was bright, and they also made it feel less like sleeping in a room full of strangers.
