Oliver St. John Gogarty's Hostel

In the middle of the temple bar area, with a lot of pubs and restaurants. Breakfast is good

The shared room was too hot even when outside was cold, so we had to sleep with the windows opened. There is music in the pubs until 2 am, so I didn't sleep too much while I stayed here. There is a lot of people staying in the hostel, so the staff won't care too much about you.

Location

It was so loud it felt like there wasnt even walls. Wasnt clean.

I was in a private room for two. It has plenty of space with a very nice private bath and everything was very clean. The breakfast was superb and the free soup provided all day was a nice touch. Location was good except for the fact that the bar below plays live music every night until early in the morning and, if you have a street-side room you will have to close your window if you want some (relative) peace and quiet.

Our biggest issue was the heat! The room had a window to the outside, but it was only able to open several inches. I was on the 4th floor and, as the bar below plays live music every night until early in the morning I had to close my window to fall asleep and the room must have been in the upper 70s/lower 80s. I asked the next morning for a fan, but none were available. I would recommend to the owners that they put ceiling fans in all the rooms.

Easy to get to.

Room wasn't ready at stated check in time. Could not leave bags after check out. Noisy. Light issue could have been easily fixed with curtains or other blinds,

UI liked the Receptionistt during the day who apologised for the appalling treatment we had endured the night before. A traumatic stay.

Nothing. Traumatic experience. Good price I guess though

Excellent central location but extremely basic accommodation

Shower cubicle mouldy and shower lacked power
