Hostels in County Dublin, Ireland

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!

Ahhhh, you must make arrangements in advance. It’s really expensive at the last minute. The environment is pretty good. The first floor is a public area with a kitchen for use. You can make your own coffee. There is a storage for large items on the first floor. room (free but not responsible for loss) and a paid storage locker similar to a courier locker. The room has an independent bathroom, which is okay. Bath towels can be rented one by one. I didn't see any slippers. The location is relatively convenient, and you can go to surrounding attractions and supermarkets. The front desk is very friendly, hahaha

This is a no-frills hostel that is acceptable at the right price. Given high demand, we paid upwards of 40 euros per person and it is certainly not at the modern standard you would expect at that price. Taps broken, loose fittings, non-functioning air con, and the building itself is peculiarly planned out with sprawling rooms across an unusual multi-mezzanine layout, making it a maze to get to and from the common area from certain rooms. This is certainly not a bad hostel, it just isn’t particularly great either.

Pretty good for a youth hostel, clean bedspreads, quilt covers and pillow covers on the bed, make your own. Girls from all over the world are very conscious, the bathroom is clean, and the bar downstairs is noisy until 13:00 in the morning, which has no impact on my good sleep.

A decent women's dorm with curtains, though the sink was a bit clogged and dirty, and no one cleaned it. The booking was clear. I wouldn't dare book a mixed-gender dorm, though, as that only seems to be for foreigners, haha! But the people there were very polite; everyone would give a 'WeChat' or 'Hi' when you met them. Strangers would also help if you asked for directions, which I really appreciated! However, when it comes to money, I feel like it's the same everywhere. I didn't know I needed a ticket to the castle, and I only had 8 pounds left, just enough for the bus. They didn't accept Visa, and without cash, the person just told me to go away! Transportation there is like in China; you can't use Visa, but it's cheaper than in the UK for buses. Glasgow has the most expensive bus fares. For shopping, most chain stores accept Visa, which is convenient. Otherwise, carrying cash is heavy, and those coins are a pain. Youth hostels in London weren't as good; no curtains, and it seemed like a lot of people in one room. I didn't look too closely, so it wasn't clear. Hotels in Ireland are too expensive, so this was an experience, I guess, haha!

I only have this one photo, but overall I had a good experience with the accommodation. One of the best things about this place is the privacy. Each bed has curtains, so you don’t really have to worry about people seeing you. It made changing clothes very convenient, and I rarely had to make eye contact with others, which is perfect if you’re more introverted. There’s also a light inside the bed area, so you can read before going to sleep, and hooks for hanging clothes, which was useful for items I wore often. In addition, there are personal lockers that can only be opened with a code, which felt secure. The bathroom was also relatively clean. However, the overall quality really depends on the people you end up sharing the space with. It was a bit disappointing to see how much the experience can vary. One night, I heard some strange noises from other guests, which made me feel quite uncomfortable and a bit scared. If you’re lucky with the people around you, this place can be very satisfying. My first night was great, but the second night was not as pleasant due to some inconsiderate behavior from other guests.

Really helpful and understandable staff. Gave me a hand with the heavy luggage upstairs. Though the Trip booking made a mistake, the staff gave me a well welcome, especially in the late night arriving. By the way, the shelf by the bunk do need to be cleaned since it was with lots of dust.
