Kassandra

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Ideally located only a few steps away from Temple Bar district, the facilities and rooms were spotless, comfortable and welcoming, and the staff are beyond friendly and helpful. The only negative comments I have are: 1) There is no common kitchen, and you're not allowed to bring food from outside and eat it in the common areas, but the food options on site are very limited. This is unfortunate since there are many great takeout restaurants nearby, and part of the beauty of traveling is experiencing the local food culture. It's strange that as a hostel, their policies don't embrace or facilitate this. 2) The showers are in the basement, with no windows, no mirrors, and no plug outlets for hair dryers or styling tools! This is very inconvenient for women, unless you have a room with a private bathroom/shower.

No frills in my room. Zero. But who needs it, go out and experience the city. But if it matters to you, there's a small storage space for luggage, a small shelf, and a very small table. No TV, coffee maker, etc.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Shower in room had mold and just smelt musty. Out of 4 shared showers (all with the same previously mentioned issue) on basement level only one was in operation. Was accused of being homeless by Nana after showing my key card multiple times a day and still could not sit in the common area without being questioned. Would recommend spending extra money to stay somewhere else, not a friendly place for solo travelers. Staff outside of mentioned employee was very kind. Not the worse but have stayed at cheaper places with a much better experience before.

Rooms need to be cleaned daily. I started in a 4 beds girls room and it was very dirty, had to ask the staff to please send someone to clean the room. Another girl did the same. They only take the trash out, but even the shower smells like pee. The mattress wasn’t very comfy. But the hotel is nice, very close to everything. And with many activities.
