Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Potential street noise — Being in Temple Bar means nightlife is close, and some guests note that rooms facing the street can pick up sounds; closing windows helps.
- Limited comfort rating — The 'Comfort' category scores 7.6, the lowest of all rating categories, which may indicate a more basic standard of furnishings or bedding.
- Strict check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00, which is earlier than some might like; plan your morning accordingly.

8.3Verified guest“The location was perfect, right in the center of everything, with a lively pub playing Irish music just around the corner. The included breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options like muesli, fruit, cheese, and Nutella. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, answering all our questions promptly. The room had four comfortable bunk beds, a private bathroom, and amenities like soap and towels. The Wi-Fi worked well, and although some comments mentioned noise, we found that closing the windows effectively blocked out loud street sounds. It was a great experience, especially for the affordable price. Nothing to complain about.”
