"Similar to a youth hostel, the environment is OK. But the room is hot, there is no fan or air conditioning, the window can open a small gap with a finger width (see Figure 2), can you imagine the outdoor temperature of more than ten degrees, the room is too hot to sleep. . It may also be because the room is facing west because of the west sun, and the front desk (a middle-aged **) can not change a room that is not facing west, but not change, the attitude is poor."
Not very clean, to climb the stairs to carry luggage, the service is general, basically no service, the facilities are very old, the bed is not comfortable, the only advantage is that the car is very convenient, the door is the bus station, go directly to the airport, 25 minutes can go directly to the airport passenger building
The hostel is a little bit disappointing, if I’m honest.
Pros:
-very clean bathrooms
-amazing hot shower
-location
-free locker (deposit required)
-keyless
-free coffee pods and water
The biggest downside is the sleeping pods. They are incredibly squeaky and flimsy, every more you make makes a ton of sound. What does not help is the fact the rooms are pretty much empty apart from the pods, so there is virtually zero sound dampening. I kid you not, but laying in the pod I could hear stomach rumbling of the person in a pod above me. It was very weird and awkward. If you or someone is snoring/coughing- you’re done. The nights were not very sleepless. Additionally, no charging ports worked in my pod and I had to use the kitchen
Other cons:
-towels and sheets are cleaned, but they are overused. Although washed, they have old stains and are generally worn out
If you’re looking for a social hostel - this is not it. There aren’t any common areas (apart from small backyard and kitchen, which are always empty) and the hostel does not facilitate any activities
If only the pods were a bit more convenient and a tiny bit more soundproof, it would be much better, but this issue really outweighed lots of positives for me
The room is neat and tidy, the service staff is very good!
The double bed is relatively small, but no problem for two girls! Ireland is not air-conditioned in every house, so it may be hotter if you come in summer
The location is quite convenient, there are also bus stops nearby, but this area may be calmer at night, it is recommended to take a ride back at 21:00 or dark!
