Generator offered a fun bar and restaurant, that was busy and entertaining. The property was fairly well taken care of, though the busy nature caused some mess.
Janeen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed in a 6 bunk hostel room. Accommodation was average but the main bar and eating area were good , as was the breakfast. Neat location really, with good access by tram and trendy restaurants and cinema over the road. As with most things in Dublin, this seemed rather expensive to me - about double compared to Madrid and Barcelona. Common areas didn’t have much seating and it wasn’t somewhere to snooze.

I had never slept in a pod before. It worked surprisingly well.

Lovely atmosphere, easy to find. Very good location and not noisy
Karmjeet, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a great place to stay for a younger crowd. We were looking for somewhere cheap so it was perfect. However, it is better suited for a young traveler wanting to meet new people and have entertainment in the evening.

Not all hostels are the same
Not all hostels are the same or ran the same. The condition of the room and property overall looked shabby and in need of some renovations. The bathroom really was not in the best condition. While there was heat, there wasn't much for air vents so no air circulation. Could not control the temp in room and it got stuffy. We were able to open the windows which allowed us to get some air flow. I did like that you could book a room (6 person- 3 bunkbeds) with it's own shower/toilet that was a bonus. This property had a bar/club with it so it is good for those seeking that kind of social experience. I would have preferred to have more security features that I have had from other hostels such as deadbolt for room and making each floor accessible only by key to keep out non registered guests from accessing floors. I traveled with my 3 kids (21, 19, 15). I would not recommend this property to family with younger kids again due to the bar/club atmosphere. There was a level below the bar which had foosball table, couple pool tables, and table tennis plus tables to play cards. Staff were available and friendly.

Hostel
This is a hostel. It is in an ideal location to the Dublin sites and a good value. It is not particularly clean, my bed had a discarded bottle and empty chip bag atill in the bed. It was also loud at night, but still easy for an overnight Dublin stay.
Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were very friendly except the guy with the tattoos, he was very rude. The light, plugs on my bed were not working. Shower was broken! Falling all the time. Needs to be screwed on the wall. Great area, safe, quiet, and lots of eating places around.
