I had a really positive stay at Gardiner House Hostel — a clean, friendly, and well-located choice for budget travellers in Dublin.
📍 Location
The location is excellent — just a short walk from major bus stops, shops, cafés, and walking distance to many central Dublin attractions like Temple Bar, Trinity College, and the Liffey bridges. It made exploring the city super convenient without having to rely on public transport.
🛏 Accommodation & Rooms
The rooms were tidy and functional with adequate storage space. Beds were comfortable for a hostel stay, and the linens were fresh. Shared bathroom facilities were kept clean throughout my visit.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Considering Dublin can be expensive, Gardiner House Hostel offers excellent value — affordable, clean, and centrally located.
As my reason to stay was the proximity to the airport, the hotel exceeded my expectations as the room was small but comfy, they have a restaurant for dinner and breakfast attached to the hotel and in minutes I could get a taxi to the airport. Great value for money.
Arrived in the early hours of the after ferry cancelled and then delays. I notified reception of the change and Tomas informed me that the reception was 24 hours and I would be looked after and he would check me in himself. Arrived at 04.30 and met by night receptionist who took me to s room and logged my car registration.
The room was ok but for some reason the wind noise was loud. Next morning I explained to reception who moved me to a well appointed quiet room without any fuss or further comment. The remaining days of my stay were during the huge storm which hit the coast, During my stay the hotel felt safe and secure, and the staff were polite, helpful and pleasant at all times. The hotel may appear as 3* but the rooms and customer service was 5*. Highly recommended hotel based on my personal experience. A final acknowledgment to Ann Mary and Louise who contributed to lovely stay here.

The rooms were clean and tidy, and the service was warm and welcoming, but it didn't quite compare to similar rooms in China, so don't have too high expectations.
It was a great stay overall. The location was perfect. It was near the center of Dublin. But was set in a quiet neighborhood just outside it. It is a doable walk to a park set along the water. I loved the Medieval Theme. The staff was friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. The dual shower heads are a nice setup. .Request a view of the front of the hotel. The only potential negative is the distance from the airport and the train.
Had to come to help my mother in law into a care home so hillview was close and was ideal nice room and good breakfast and nice man who waited till we got there because we were delayed at luton airport for hour and a half nice people nice location thanks guys

I stayed at the Clayton Hotel Galway recently and found the hotel itself to be comfortable, with clean rooms and friendly staff. The facilities were good, and the breakfast was decent, offering a reasonable selection. However, the location is quite far from Galway’s main train and bus stations, which made getting into the city centre less convenient without a car. Public transport options are limited, so you may need to rely on taxis or long walks if you don’t have your own transport. This hotel is better suited for those attending events nearby or travelling by car rather than visitors wanting easy access to Galway city centre.
The most comfortable hotel we stayed at during our entire trip in Ireland. Very spacious, bright, and modern. We had a room with an ocean view and truly enjoyed watching the tides come and go. Great breakfast, a nice pub, and a wonderful terrace overlooking the sea. We loved everything :) The only minor downside was that it was a bit too warm in the room.
There was in general nothing wrong with the hotel, however the hotel is very big, has no charme and feels not inviting. The rooms were ok, however our non smoking room was facing the car park above the smoking area. When we opened the window, which we needed to do as the room was smelly at first, we got all the cigarette smell from below.
There were not enough hooks or rails for towels.
The beds were good.
Breakfast was average. The room had not enough seating for the amount of people in the hotel, so we had to wait until a table was cleaned for us. Hot chocolate was not included and needed to be payed for. The poached egg was hard, the bacon showed white fat spots from not being hot enough. I personally would not like to stay there again.

Thank you so, so much to the staff at Generator Dublin.
You have all been awesome and made my first two weeks in Dublin so special!
Moving to a new country can be daunting, but you gave me the best tips and made these hectic days very fun, too!
The only little ”issue” I've had with my stay was the lack of either a kitchen (would've been more than happy to pay for kitchen use!) or vegan options that could be enjoyed with my celiac's disease. That meant eating out and not being able to fully take part in hostel life.
I will be happy to come back one day, regardless!
Very Good
