We were only at the Lounge waiting for their tour coach. The furniture was Lovely but a Bit cheap. Staff nice
Had a great couple trips with Paddy's! The drivers are knowledgeable and can tell stories that help pass the hours on the bus. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to of Ireland!
Reception isn't open 24 hours as they advertise , someone will just come to let you in. But then you can't use the WiFi as it only works in the reception area and although it was suggested I don't think it's a great idea to stand on a dark street corner at 1am to use WiFi. Breakfast is minimal. It seemed like a lot of the guests were semi permanent residents who work in Dublin. Not exactly a traveller hostel. However beds were comfortable and it was clean. Staff did their job but I wouldn't say friendly or welcoming.
Very friendly staff and welcomingi booked room and didnt ask which floor it was on at the time. Very tight and narrow stairs to the top with railline outside the bedroom window..but hey you for not doing the research..but staff top drawer..very handy for central bus depot and connolly train station.
Took a tour to Blarney Castle. It was an amazing experience that I highly recommend. Val was the best guide we could've asked for. Would rate higher if I could.
Used this company to tour Cliffs of Moher, Giants Causeway and Blarney Castle. The buses were modern and clean, comfortable and FREE wifi! That's always a plus! Drivers were very informative and funny also. Have to shout out our driver Lee who took us to Blarney Castle. Extremely informative and hilarious! Really simplified Ireland's history for us. If you're looking to tour Ireland, I would definitely recommend this company.
First the good parts: the staff is kind and efficient and helped me and my friends with the trouble we had.
I liked the duve, mattress and pillows (my friend though the mattress should be softer to be better) and the linen seemed to be changed as expected.
The bad points: the cleaness of the bathrooms showers varies a lot during the day The shower location is inconvenient I've been to 10 and 4 pp dorms and they had 4 and 2 respectively electric power points. The rooms are dusty and noisy. The kitchen can be quite disgusting too.
Other: they have rooms reserved for 'walk in' guests, so it can be an option when everything else is booked online.
I haven't heard about any nice hostel in Dublin so far
No WiFi in the bedroom, small bathroom and shitty shower. Great staff and the room was clean.
Took a tour to the cliffs of Moore through this company. Had a great trip! The pricing was fairly reasonable, felt a little rushed at a couple of the stops beforehand and we had just an hour and a half at the cliffs themselves (not near enough time to explore even half of it), but the tour was including drive time was over 12 hours, it kind of makes sense why they were hurrying along. Guide was very funny and great to talk to! Gave some great recommendations for Dublin.
I found that the tour guides are either a hit or miss. I have been on two tours with this company. The first tour guide was rather rude to the people on the bus. Meanwhile the second tour guide was amazing. He was very friendly, informative, and funny.
Ok the place was not good at all. No heating system, communal space was close during the night and we literally froze in the night as the windows are so old that cold comes through. Not recommended
Good place if you consider the price. Backpackers ambient. If you love travel and like meet new people, this is the place in Dublin.
Not recommendable if you want to rest and sleep
