Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was definately convenient for me. Great location. Suitable with my budget. Near Coles (World Square) and Paddys market. The kitchen was a also a plus for me, all essential utensils were available and I was able to cook my own meals. The shared toilets and showers, however, required more frequent cleaning, as did the bed linens. Lastly, the bustling street, alive with nightlife, blaring music, revving engines, and occasional blood-curdling screams, often jolted you out of a good night's sleep.

Terrible wifi as well. I have fairly low standards, I’ve stayed in many hostels. I’d rate it higher if the price was a bit lower, felt it was a bit overpriced for the cleanliness, noise, wifi etc

Aidan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Great location. Pretty poorly maintained and noisy at night despite their signs saying "strictly no noise after 11pm". The toilets were gross. And there's a reason it's called the maze, the labrinth of hallways to find your room and toilet are astonishing. Worse when a toilet is closed for cleaning so you need to walk a marathon to releive yourself.
