For 18 Euros, Kinlay house fit the bill. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Descent beds and showers. Great locker storage area (they are big too!). I would stay there again for sure. Convenient location which is great!

The beds squeak very loud, so don't stay in a room with more than ten beds because u will be up all night. Wish there was somewhere safe to lock up your stuff in the room.

Breakfast included 7 days a week, dinner included 4 nights a week, internet included, free international phone calls, excellent service all round. Clean, friendly, knowledgable and very welcoming. Smack in the middle of... More

I stayed here for 3 days, 4 nights when I was in Dublin. Overall, I was pretty happy. I stayed in one of their larger dorm rooms, and considering that people were coming and going at all hours, it was pretty quiet and people were respectful. The only thing was that traffic and the cathedral bell across the street were... More

This hostel was a 5 for location being situated in the centre of most attractions, however the private rooms are expensive for what you are getting. Small rooms, challenging for two people with bags to maneuver around. Small bathrooms with the floor being apart of the shower ( meaning if someone showers the entire bathroom floor is wet. Staff were... More

Excellent value, our second time here was in a 20-bed room, on the third floor, the room we were in was divided into... More

I stayed here in May 2009 with a group of fellow students from my university. This hostel was a very sketchy place. The room I was in and the adjoining bathroom were very basic and bare-bones. Not that I was expecting a 5-star hotel, because I wasn't, but this place left a lot to be desired. The overhead fluorescent lighting... More
