8/10 Very good

Very convenient for exploring Dublin. Get what you expect from a hostel, 24/7 front desk which is good. Only small issue is rooms at the rear of the hostel are a bit of a trek to get to and back onto a nightclub, fine if you're in the club until closing which we ended up doing both nights.

8/10 Very good

The staff was great. I don’t like the policy of paying to store luggage on the day of check out. The building is interesting with twists and turns in hallways to get to a free bathroom, tv room, and kitchen. We do plan to stay there again.

Location was amazing. Showers were not the best, but fine for the price of the hostel. The beds had curtains on the side, but the top and bottom didn’t. The drawer can be locked (bring your own lock).

4/10 Fair

The room was clean. I was not happy that they were charging for the use of towels and shower gel after we paid the price for a private room.

The room was too stuffy. It's a shared room sure. But there must have been somehow they could have managed the ventilation better

10/10 Exceptional

Das Hostel hat eine gute Lage inmitten der Stadt. Wir hatten ein privates Dreibettzimmer zum Hof, was recht ruhig war. Auf dem Zimmer gab es sogar einen Kühlschrank. Der großzügige Gemeinschaftsraum mit Küche ermöglicht eine Selbstversorgung. Allerdings haben manche Gäste ihr Geschirr nicht abgewaschen, wofür das Hostel aber nichts kann. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder im Dawson Hostel übernachten.
