    Breakfast could have had a bit more variety . Room could be a bit noisy at night from revellers outside maybe double glazing might be a good investment

    Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great location

    The room had no air circulation except for a window, which was very noisy from the street below when opened.

    Excellent location right in the heart of Temple bar. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Earplugs available at the front desk!

    - No plugs near the beds, some beds dont have lamps near them. - Drawers under the beds are super laud. You must wake everybody up everytime you use them. - They close the kitchen around 21:00. If you wanna eat something later than that, no chance... - Checkin and checkout times does not make any sense. Checkout at 10:00 but checkin at 16:00? Why 6 hours in between? That should be 3 hours max. - Renting a towel costs 4€. You can buy a towel for that price in the nearby shops. Way too expensive and feels like a rip off. - No luggage storage, first time in my life, I have seen a hostel without luggage storage.

    + Location is amazing. + Staff is nice. + Breakfast is decent. + Kitchen is good, you can cook your meals etc...

    Overall it was a great experience. I will say this, though, to future guests: please don't be inconvenient. You're sharing a room with other people, act accordingly.

    I loved the friendly staff - shoutout to Annie and Yasmin who were the friendliest girls ever, and taught me everything I needed to know to explore Dublin in the easiest way. I would also add I loved the common area, it was an amazing place to take a quick nap, rest from all the walking and tourist stuff, plus plenty and very accessible plugs so we can give our phones a charge. Looking forward to going back to Gogartys.

    Get exactly what you pay for. Breakfast is pretty good, assorted cold cuts, tomato soup, toast, and salad was the usual line up. Location is excellent however you will have trouble sleeping if you need silence, located on top of a bar and lots of noise in the rooms. Clean rooms. Bring a towel or they charge a small fee

    Because of the location, the nights were loud. Not because of the other guests, but because we could hear the noise from the street.

    I liked that it included breakfast. The location was very centric (just where all the bars are). The room was good, we picked the 4-bed one. The best part was the staff. Very friendly and helpful.

    My huge disappointment was in the morning before taking my shower, I realized that I had forgotten to take a towel from reception. I got half dressed and the receptionist informed me that towels could only be rented at 4 Euros per towel, I had a few Euros change on me, and he said no cash is permitted only a credit card..So had to go back upstairs, get my card, and back down to pay for a towel. Sorry, sorry totally unacceptable!!

    The breakfast included in the price was a buffet-style breakfast and was very good value for the money!! A good variety of food was available along with coffee, tea, and juices. The breakfast room staff was very friendly and the area was always clean!

    The bed was quite tight, if you are over 1.80 which is my case will struggle to fit. They only had 6 plugs for a 10 bed dorm and not even next to the beds, all together by a desk so not very handy, and the fact of not having common bathrooms or showers and only a single one in the room for 10 people was a bit annoying mostly in the mornings.

    The location was perfect, although maybe a bit noisy at night it's in the middle of Temple Bar area with a lot of things to do and see around. The included breakfast buffet style was also very nice and complete. The staff was very nice and friendly.

    There was only one shower for my dorm. When it was fully booked on Friday & Saturday, there was no immediate access to the amenities

    The location was excellent, right in the heart of Dublin. Spoiled for choice regarding pubs/bars, groceries, etc. nearby

    No hooks to hang anything on in the room.

    Very well located to everything such as public transport, sights of dublin, night life and of course overpriced beer. I thought the breakfast was great. Good quality food and reasonable variety. Better than most hotels I have stayed.
