Overall the property was fine. Just fine. The area is kinda sketchy to be honest. The pricing for things like locker space and towels I felt was too high. I appreciated that they had an elevator, and getting to my room was very straight forward. The privacy curtains on the bunks were a strong plus. The mattress is stiff as a board. The staff was chill and answered my questions well so I can’t complain there. There really didn’t seem like any kind of community or night life there, or at least nobody was really interacting while I was there. I don’t know, I’d probably try a different brand next time just to see if this was a one off.

I enjoyed the stay as we were central in Dublin and could easily walk to attractions and public transit (the red line is just in front). They seemed clean enough of a hostel, the housekeeping staff were alright. We had an issue where housekeeping staff entered our room and did not close the door properly. This happened 2 days in a row and the staff at Clink I Lar offered to move us to another room. That was nice and helped give us some peace of mind. Moving forward, if they updated their doors so that the deadbolts worked, and there was no need to pull the doors as forcefully then this could have mitigated the possibility of this issue. Thankfully the workers were quite responsive and kind about the issue.

Great place very convenient and centrally located. If you are looking for a friendly staff, and value style stay this is a good fit. The private rooms do offer privacy but cleaning is only every 3 days unlike standard hotels. We are low maintenance so this didn’t really bother us. We had a wonderful stay.

Dublin hostile stay

For a hostile it was quite nice. The only downside is that if you don’t book the family room, it doesn’t come with towels for the shower in the private rooms But for the most part, it was clean good location close to everything so worked out great for us for our two day. Stay in Dublin..

Stayed here during my solo trip to Dublin and had a great experience! The location was perfect—walking distance to Temple Bar and all major attractions. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help with directions or suggestions. The dorms had individual lockers, and the common areas had a cozy vibe where I met other travellers. The bathrooms could use more frequent cleanings. If you’re a solo traveler or backpacker, this place is a win. Would definitely stay again!
