Great location for nightlife and sightseeing—everything you need is nearby! From top to bottom, the staff is friendly and always ready to assist with anything you need. The place is clean, check-in is easy, and there's a convenient laundry service that works smoothly with the app. I had a private room, but as a hostel, I would rate it a 10 out of 10!

As regular user of their facilities, I would like to highlight the great improvement after the work done in the rooms. Now most of them give a lot of privacy to guests and beds are really comfy. They have board games and a living room with books and Netflix on the TV. I also like the parking space that they have for bikes. You can park a car too but I cycle so I don't have a car. There is a jacuzzi that you can use without any extra charge. Another great point is the free breakfast served daily with orange and apple juices, cereals, strawberry and blueberry jam, white and brown bread, butter, fresh cheese, Nutella, peanut butter and fresh fruit such as bananas, oranges and apples that staff keeps clean and tidy during the whole service. They have an area to provide to guests free milk, cocoa (really GOOD one), coffee and Irish tea. The location is great, just 10 minutes walk from Dublin's main street, O'Connell Street. However, the most important point of Gardiner House Hostel is their staff. They are top-notch, always available to help. A special thank you to Leo the one I know since he was taking care of the breakfast service and now is greeting me at the reception.

There was very cosy and friendly welcome. Room was nice and clean. Kitchen was very organised and supplied. Us did not bother at all that there was a nightclub and a little bit noisy. We got good sleep both nights. Hope to meet you again guys 😍 Good to know: from airport straight bus number 16 goes front of the hostel.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location for town, we got upgraded from a private twin room with a shared bathroom to a private 4 bed dorm with an en-suite. The room was clean, beds comfy and the staff were really friendly. The breakfast was good, just toast, cold meat, cheese, fruit, salad and soup but a great addition to the already cheap stay.

Good value for money, in that it was cheap and right beside Connolly station. Clean, with a comfortable bed and warm water in the shower. There's a nice bar in the foyer area and they serve good food too. Overall, a good hostel if you're on a budget.

Think youth hostel, dormitories, study rooms, multi cubicle showers and toilets, kitchen, laundry, helpful staff, cafe. Quiet safe clean rooms, solid enclosed bunks with a comfy mattress, shelf, light and charger inside the bunk and a curtain to for privacy. Also a locker/drawer under the bunk for stuff. Didn't hear any noise from any other guest during the night Staff friendly, helpful and efficient Nice area for cafe, old stained glass architecture, relaxed with other guests Outside garden for relaxing, chilled

Best hostel I have ever stayed in. Really clean and comfortable. The bunk bed set up is brilliant - all feels very private and safe. It was quiet at night, I never had to queue for the showers and the lounge / dining and study rooms are excellent. It’s a short walk into town and right by a bus stop. Lots of nice places to eat and drink just minutes away.
