4 of us were excited to stay in Dublin and explore this great city. The city has not let us down, the hostel has. Not being very picky but still like some standart, this was a bit of unpleasant surprise to us. We booked private 2 rooms, both with private bathrooms Place is unkept, failing appart, rooms were put together... More

I was meant to stay 2 nights with a friend but after seeing the rooms we complained and got half of the money back. There were no handles in any of the doors (room and bathroom) so we managed to block the door with a stick. It was completely dirty, the heater wasnt working. Someone had to come to fix... More

I stayed at Backpackers Citi Hostel for 4 nights - my first time in Dublin and I was doing it on a super tight budget. I had a really good search online and from the websites this one looked the best for the money (€6 a night in an 8 bed dorm) which was only £4.99 over here - the... More

I guess you get what you pay for, but I would pay a little more for a shower that drains, hot water and cleanliness. I'm usually not all that picky, but this was not good at all. The location and staff was nice, but you should stay somewhere else.

Stayed here on a weekend trip to Dublin with my girlfriend for a couple of nights (before treating ourselves on the last night to a great hotel!). Be very careful with this place, it really depends what you want out of your trip. We intended it as a place to lay our heads, and spent at least 13/14 hours out... More

One strange point, the entrance is kind of strange. Birds in cage, big jessus statue and jessus paint on the wall. Nice place, the rooms are not really clean and the bed are kind of old. But you have a big free breakfast and the staff is really nice. Big kitchen open all the time, free wifi 24/7.
