2-Star Hotels in Dublin

I had the 6 bed in one room for 3 nights and I had a very good experience at this hostel.The location is great and prices for Dublin are good and beds are clean and shower warm. Staff was ok. But you need to know what to expect. Don't make your experience in Dublin a 1/5 one. - This hostel is in an old building that will/can never be 100% clean. Germaphobes need not apply - This hostel is next to a cathedral and near the temple bar. So if you are a light sleeper avoid. - There are no elevators or lifts. If you cant walk a few flights of stairs.please avoid. - In this hostel, there seems to be a few guys from the streets. I don't know if they are guests or a charity thing. But they just stay in the common area watching TV. If that worries you don't book. - Right now, some of their shower and bathroom need repair and some of the bathroom are mixed. If that bugs you then please avoid. -This hostel has strict policy on refunds and payment. So ask before booking. Last tip, you might not need a locker, a locker is 3 extra euro a night. But i found the lockable box under my bed was more than enough.

My friends and I were all amazed by this very cosy hostel, with a nice staff, good breakfast, living room, nice showers, parking lot, for a good price. The room is in a former chapel with a beautiful Window. And rumor says a jacuzzi's coming! :)

Clean, Helpful and welcoming. We arrived in Dublin needing accommodation as our Airb&b was filthy and we walked away from it. We found this hotel and right from the moment we walked in we were happy with how we were welcomed. The rooms are basic but comfortable and have the usual necessities to refresh you. The main thing was they were clean. Our rooms were above the pub and although you could hear the music once the time came for that to stop it was quiet. This isn’t maybe what you would want but the rooms to the rear of the hotel would be quieter. The staff cleaned the rooms each day and even replaced sheets if required. The entrance is managed 24/7 which was god to know. The reception staff were so helpful giving good advice on places of interest. They can also provide you with discount codes for some of the bus tours going round the city. Although there is no parking attached to the property you can offload outside and there are two recommended car parks 5 minutes away. We took the car to one of these and left it for the duration of our stay. Upon leaving the reception will provide you with a ticket which discounts your parking. We mostly are out. The attached pub next door( which is owned by the same owners as the hotel) serves cracking food. We had breakfast the three mornings we were there and for 10 euros was very happy. You have the option of the usual cereal, fruit juice, tea and coffee. Would highly recommend the Irish cooked breakfast ( bacon, sausages, hash browns, white pudding, beans and toast). You can also try some Guinness bread which is made on site and is really good. For me I would not hesitate to come back here to make it a base for future visits to the city. You are fairly central and are only 5 mins away from the spire and about 10 mins from temple bar. Saying that you wouldn’t need to go there as there are some great pubs in the vicinity of the hotel and some lovely places to eat also. I can’t thank the staff enough for rescuing our stay in Dublin. I hope you enjoy your stay here if you come. Mark.

For what we've paid for this place, we would have been much better off booking a hostel or actually sleeping on the roadside. Let's go to a popular booking site and read what this hotel advertises, shall we? It advertises: ”Luggage Storage available” - Maybe they should change it to PAID luggage storage available. For the experience we had, paying them MORE money to hold our luggage was the icing on the turd cake. ”The hotel features a popular nightclub, which operates 7 nights a week.” - More honest advertising would be, that this glorified hostel happens to be next to a nightclub, which operates 7 nights a week, up till 4 am. You will enjoy the benefits of having a band playing for you in the room. Also the ambience of drunken people singing along until four. Nothing more relaxing than that after a whole day of walking around Dublin. I couldn't think of a better way to unwind. But hold up, knowing full well that the noise gets up to 90dB in the room until 4am (Or might have been 2am, or 3am, sleep deprivation does that to you) we have taken amazing steps to protect our visitors who pay quite a lot for a room. Do we have soundproofing, double-glazed windows, or heck, windows that actually close? NO OF COURSE NOT WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? We provide earplugs!! Problem solved :D Another thing to note: Hot water? What are we, the Ritz?? If you think I exaggerate, go ahead and spend hundreds of euros and find out for yourself. RUN. RUN as far and fast as you can. Unless you don't mind total discomfort or are severely hard of hearing in both ears.

GROUPS BEWARE of strick/completely unfair cancelation policies. If your flight gets canceled or you are unable to travel, you'll loose ALL the amount paid!!! No credit for next stay, discount, or whatever. You snooze, you loose. As a school, we had booked rooms to accomodate a total of 40 students and teachers, for a whole week. Unfortunatelly we were unable to board our flight and had to pospone the trip to some weeks later from the original date. There simply were no available flights sooner for such a large group in the same airline company. We explained the situation to the hostel but they were simply uncompromising. We did not ask for a refund and were willing to loose some of the money paid for the first nights. All we wanted was that some credit could be directed to the new dates, in order to reduce our losses a bit. We did not expect that the management would be completely unwilling to help, charging us for the whole stay, INCLUDING the meals we did not have. We travel around the world with our students and we look for partners we can rely on, and that are willing to help us, when we are abroad. This was simply not the case, quite the opposite. If you are traveling with a large group, for a long stay, with a quite an expensive bill, check your booking conditions twice, make sure your flight does not get canceled or you'll loose it all.

My flight was delayed and I tried to notify the property that I would be arriving after the reception closing time (6pm). The phone number provided on the booking was wrong, the one on their website was a call center and no one answered, and I didn't get any email instructions from them. I arrived at midnight and ... SURPRISE: I was locked out! Luckily I met by chance a girl who was staying there and was coming back so she let me in to stay warm. I keep calling unanswered for at least another hour. In the end I settled on the sofa in the living room to sleep without blankets, but it was always better than sleeping on the street or having to look for a new structure in the middle of the night. The next day they admitted the phone number was wrong, apologized and eventually gave me the room I had paid for. They provided proof that they sent the instruction email, but I never received it (I had checked even if it was in spam, and nothing), otherwise I would have slept on the sofa because I felt like it ??? On the same day, the same thing happened to a guy like me who didn't receive any emails they say they sent. Maybe they were having problems with their systems that day? Yet no, it is our fault because ... Final surprise ... Although they admitted that the phone number was wrong, they did not want to refund me the night I paid for and for which I did not receive the service purchased, also risking having to sleep out or spend more money on a new accommodation. Fortunately, hotels.com provided me with a small discount coupon. Thanks Hostel.com! You, on the other hand, are real dishonest thieves, keep those 36 euros well!
