My stay at the hostel was a mixed bag. On the upside, the family room was decent and the staff were helpful. However, the bathroom situation was quite cramped, and the breakfast options were very basic. Overall, it served its purpose, but I would consider other places next time.

Rooms

The family room had comfortable beds, but the cleanliness could be questionable since the sheets are just placed over the original ones. The small bathroom was a challenge as well.

Our stay was decent, though not without its drawbacks. The building has a lot of charm, and the rooms are clean and basic. However, the bathrooms are incredibly small and the noise at night can be disruptive. Considering the price, it's adequate for budget travelers, but I would consider other options that might be more family-friendly.

I had a surprisingly positive experience at the hostel. It was well-organized and impeccably clean, with incredibly helpful staff who ensured I had everything I needed. The location was perfect for exploring the city center, and the free breakfast was an added bonus. However, the breakfast options were quite limited, and the lack of plugs in the room was inconvenient.

My stay had a mix of pros and cons. While the hostel was affordable, it really showed in the quality of the facilities. The dorm rooms were spacious enough, but they were poorly lit and not well-maintained. On the bright side, the staff at the reception were welcoming, although the cleaning staff could improve their attitude. The bathrooms were quite a mess and need serious attention, which was a real letdown.

Our stay was decent overall. The hostel had some positive aspects, like helpful staff and a charming building, but the experience was marred by noise and a few uncomfortable features. It's a budget-friendly option but may not be the best choice for families because of the small bathroom and lack of elevator.

The hostel has a lot of potential but needs significant updates to match the experiences at similar priced accommodations in Dublin. I appreciated the free breakfast and the interesting setting of the old church, but I encountered numerous plumbing issues in the bathrooms and lack of cleanliness. The rooms were adequate for a family stay, but wouldn't be my first choice next time due to the small bathrooms and noisy environment.

I had a decent stay, with clean and cozy rooms, but there are definitely areas for improvement. The breakfast options were quite limited, and the facilities could use some upgrades. The location is generally safe, but a bit sketchy at night. Overall, it's an okay choice, but I might seek out other options next time.
