Hotels.com disastrous customer service.
Utter disaster. Arrived at hostel to be told that it was under renovation and no room was available. Simply not good enough from the hostel and Hotels.com.

The light in the bathroom didn't work. It was very loud: the bar in the alley behind our room would throw out beer bottles at all hours of the evening and in the morning. Could hear everything through the thin walls. It's definitely a hostel level experience. Not horrible, but not enjoyable.

I got some sleep at least
The service was generally acceptable, front desk were there and receptive. The room I was staying out however, smelled of sewage and was very unpleasant and barely cleaned. Plus my bed was not near a charger at all so I had to charge on a shelf, and climb down my bed and run to the alarm when it rung. The luggage storage was a pain because you had to look all around the building, outside to an alley, and back into another building. The luggage storage definitely needed to be cleaned and aired out, all I smelled was a high school gym locker. The shower and restrooms could've also used a bit of cleaning as well

Joanna

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The location was ideal, so close to the sights and entertainment. It was great that there is a big kitchen for everyone to use. The facility doesn’t seem to be updated in decades though. I would have liked a little shelf, light and outlet at my top bunk which tends to be standard at other less expensive hotels around Europe. Also, the facility would be improved if the mold smell in the bathrooms could somehow be dealt with.

The accommodations are Spartan but quite adequate and very reasonably priced. The staff is friendly, helpful and efficient. The area is in the heart of Dublin easy to get everywhere.

Last resort
It was my second time staying here and that is down to the extortion by hotels in these times. I checked in on line thinking it be just to collect key card when I arrived but the process took 10 mins. Had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get to my 8 bed dormitory when it had a fowl smell and evidence of condensation on the walls. The bed was the only clean place, everywhere else had dust cobwebs all around.
