10/10 Excellent

One of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed at across Europe and the most convenient location right next to the bus depot - makes it a breeze to drop your stuff off after the bus trip from Dublin Airport and explore the town. Staff is super friendly (just like the locals) and very helpful.
