Hostels di Dublin

Black mold in the shower and very responsive room. Not very good ventilation at all in the room BUT it was cozy at the same time. Shower, toilet and a bed. All the things you need for a trip to the capital. Kennedys served a banger of a burger and a very nice Guinness.

The hostel is a little bit disappointing, if I’m honest. Pros: -very clean bathrooms -amazing hot shower -location -free locker (deposit required) -keyless -free coffee pods and water The biggest downside is the sleeping pods. They are incredibly squeaky and flimsy, every more you make makes a ton of sound. What does not help is the fact the rooms are pretty much empty apart from the pods, so there is virtually zero sound dampening. I kid you not, but laying in the pod I could hear stomach rumbling of the person in a pod above me. It was very weird and awkward. If you or someone is snoring/coughing- you’re done. The nights were not very sleepless. Additionally, no charging ports worked in my pod and I had to use the kitchen Other cons: -towels and sheets are cleaned, but they are overused. Although washed, they have old stains and are generally worn out If you’re looking for a social hostel - this is not it. There aren’t any common areas (apart from small backyard and kitchen, which are always empty) and the hostel does not facilitate any activities If only the pods were a bit more convenient and a tiny bit more soundproof, it would be much better, but this issue really outweighed lots of positives for me

The location is convenient near the train station, and the hygiene was okay. However, the unprofessionalism of the front desk staff is appalling. While we were sitting nearby, a female receptionist (dark-skinned, large eyes) started talking about us in English, assuming we couldn't understand. Instead of doing her job, she mocked us, saying: ”I don't like Chinese people, they are the most foolish people here.” 🤬😡It is one thing to be rude to someone's face, but to gossip and insult guests behind their backs under the guise of them not understanding is cowardly and ******. We felt disrespected and unwelcome. Management needs to know that their staff are betraying the trust of guests. Immediate training or dismissal is required.
