Sky Backpackers

The staff were friendly and kept the hostel clean and welcoming. They let you leave your luggage before check-in, and there’s a good breakfast selection and a great kitchen. I just wish the bathrooms had some toiletries, even a soap dispenser in the shower.

The luggage room was a lifesaver, and I liked the relaxed common room. Beds were decent, with a handy little area for a light and power socket. The showers are a bit cramped, but the pressure is good and they do the job.

A good fit for small groups: the location is fantastic, beds are comfortable, and the place is very clean. The 3 euro breakfast is well worth it. It’s quiet and seems completely safe, with lockers (bring your own lock), key access to rooms, and someone at reception around the clock. Towels are free at the front desk if you leave a security deposit. I wouldn’t really recommend it to solo travelers hoping to meet people to go out with.

Right in Dublin city centre, this hostel is spotless and looks great. I stayed in a six bed dorm, which had plenty of space and a power outlet at each bed. The bathroom was better than some hotels I’ve used. There are little activities, including free drinks each night, and reception is open 24 hours with consistently friendly, helpful staff. Easily the best hostel I’ve stayed in, and I’d highly recommend it if you want reasonably priced accommodation in Dublin.
