Check in was bad. A temporary person was at the reception desk and we waited for about 15 minutes, then went down the street to a sister property to eventually check in. Washrooom space was too limited. Internet was not great. No service in the group room.

The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is quite big as well. The washrooms are alright. There’s only one toilet for an entire floor so that’s not amazing. The kitchen is closed after a certain time and only opens up at 7am so if you have an early bus or airport it’s not very practical. Location is good.

Very expensive for what it offers, however, Dublin accommodations are in general super expensive. Staff is helpful and there's a room where you could leave your luggage until check-in time. A bit too noisy due to proximity of DART railway tracks. Centrally located with easy access to Busaras (long-distance buses), streetcar, local buses and DART train. Also a short walk from Temple Bar, museums and churches across Liffey River. Talbot St is nearby, with several grocery stores, gift stores and just about any other business one could think of.

O Backpackers cumpre bastante bem aquilo a que se propõe. É um hostel num edifício já relativamente antigo e degradado, no entanto o quarto bem como as restantes partes são limpas e cuidadas. O staff foi bastante simpático e prestável.

Booked a private room - Dirty and run down

Hotellet var veldig slitent med ekstremt behov for både en vask og oppussing. Vårt første rom hadde så har seng at man like godt kunne sovet på dyna rett på gulvet. Det var skittent - tykt lag støv under skrivepult, lister og vinduskarm. Fettete flekker og fingermerker på sengekamerat, dører og vegger. Gulvet var full av sprekker, løse planker og meget skittent. Dolokk var løst og skruene lå på hyllen bak toalettet. Vi klagde og fikk ett annet rom. Sengen var litt mykere, men pute og dyner var Stein harde og så ut som de var 100 år gamle, like skittent + vifte på badet var dekket av grå pels og det var store hull i veggen og gulvplankene var løse. Man får ikke pengene tilbake om man ønsker å avbestille. Vi var der i 5 dager og rommet ble aldri vasket, søppeldunk ble ikke tømt og ingen rengjøring eller nye håndklær. Eneste pluss var at de ansatte prøvde så godt de kunne.

Lovely lady at the desk

There was a lovely lady at the desk, with brown/black hair - never got her name! But she was so lovely and eager to please. The place is in a great location, and we enjoyed our stay very much. They also have a held luggage facility which was so useful!
