Oliver St. John Gogarty - Dublin - Hotel Deals and Hotel Reviews

If u dont mind relying on other strangers in your room to open the door for u when u finally come back (there is only one key for the room!) then the hostel its perfect for u! You get enough place for your luggage and stuff and u even have a bathroom in the room - with a bit of luck u manage to get to the toilet in time if u dont need to wait too long for a person in the bathroom:) There is enough food in the morning (im not sure how is it with the quantity if u come last:)... and if u are looking for some real irish party then u dont need to go to far - the pub is only one door away from the hostel.. and u can choose the live irish music at the top or modern rhythms downstairs... Excellent!

Budget Hostel Accomodation. If you are looking for some very unexpensive, they had an offer for 18 euros per night/bed & continental breakfast. Although the offer run only from Sunday to Thursday. The lowest rates during the weekend on low season is 30€/person for a 4 bedroom and in high season35€. It is in the heart of Temple Bar, so very well located. I didn´t have the chance to see it, but I just thought it was interesting...

The location is great, it's right in the heart of the Temple Bar party scene. Check in isn't until later so if you arrive early, prepare to leave your bags behind the desk. Kate got her umbrella stolen, so that sucked.

We stayed in a 10 person dorm for the first three nights and then a 4 person dorm for the last night. Both rooms had their own bathroom, which was nice. The bunkbeds were kind of short seeing as Kate and I are both tall and ever time one of us rolled over it felt like a minor earthquake.

The bar down below is always busy. If you want to get a spot prepare to go early!!! They did have live traditional irish music the one time we made it there.

Overall, it's a hostel. You get what you pay for. It's loud and cramped but an overall positive experience. I would definitely stay there again.
