    Great hostel. So much better than it looks in the pictures. Perfect location, it's within walking distance to everything. Extremely clean bedrooms, public areas, and toilets. Spacious and clean working room. Fantastic full kitchen, everything you could imagine and more! Outdoor smoking terrace with benches. Really good hostel vibes, probably the best I've stayed in Ireland so far!
