Gardiner House Hostel

The breakfast was really good (lovely bread, delicious apples plus bananas and oranges, choice of spreads, a couple of cereal options, boiled eggs), tea, coffee and hot chocolate, the bed was comfy and there was a great 'cabin' arrangement in the bunk with a light, fan and curtain. It felt really cosy and private. There was an en suite but also shared bathrooms very near by. The communal areas were good, including a lounge well stocked with books and dvds and an outside space with a hot tub. There were several places where you could eat your food and the kitchen area was well-resourced.

Positives: + Clean bathrooms, with hand towels. + Price for 4 Mix Dorm was really good, comparable with 16+ Dorms in other hostels. + The Jacuzzi looks cool, don't know if how or much it is. + Big spacious kitchen, with plastic boxes to put your food in the fridge, so no unlabeled food piled on top of each other. Ovens to bake and heat up meals. + Nice breakfast + Security. Reception is 24h and they check everybody entering and leaving. The dorm door mechanism is good + Appreciate the outdoor space, eating your meal out with good weather. Though after 22:00 people should be quiet because from the upper rooms + Big social area, with games and + We will come back - already booked our second stay.

I really liked that there were so many private bathrooms with showers and I liked how clean most of them were. I appreciated that breakfast was included in the cost of the stay. The location was really nice because it was pretty easy to walk everywhere. It was about a 30 or so minute walk to the main part of Dublin.

We stayed in a 4person mixed dorm, and it was one of the best hostel rooms I have stayed in. The bunks had a power outlet, a small fan and a lamp. It was high up to the bunk-ceiling, so I could sit up straight (I am 172 cm). The curtain made it comfortable and private, and overall, a very good experience. Large closets where I could fit my bag. Walking distance to the city centre, and busses to the airport is in near proximity.

First and foremost, the price was the main reason I stayed there. I arrived to Dublin on a late flight I didn’t want to spend a lot of money for the night. I stayed in the room where there’s a lot of bunk beds, but comfortable, sturdy and private ones. The staff was really nice and I had to work the next day so I was able to plug my phone in a European charger converter and type away. For not much more than 20€ having a bed AND breakfast included? Amazing.
