We enjoyed our stay at Clink. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the rooms and the cleanliness. They have so many activities and events it’s great! We were a little disappointed in the selection at breakfast and no hand towels in the washroom but overall we would love to stay again.

We were a family of 6, including 3 kids and a grandma, so quite different from most of the younger guests! It looked like the most affordable place we all could stay in Dublin for the night. Our only issue was 5 euro charge per towel, and even no hand towels in bathroom - paper towels would have been nice. Great location in heart of Dublin but very difficult to find with Google directions, and not good parking instructions (tho this is probably not necessary for most guests)

The location is fantastic. The site was very clean. During busy times it’s easier to take the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. The breakfast is convenient and decent shall you opt to pay the daily fee. Laundry facility was too much IMO (5 wash 7 dry). Would definitely stay again.

Never stayed in a hostel before so felt a little nervous. However the place and staff were great. We stayed in a 4 sleeping room with en-suite. It was clean and tidy, quiet and no different than any budget hotel. Would highly recommend and will stay again when in Dublin

Stayed in female shared dorm. Staff were friendly. Bathroom was small but clean. They let you rent a towel and store you luggage for a fee depending on how much time you need (10 euros for 12hrs). You need to bring you own lock or you can buy one there. Good central location.

Nice, clean hostel in a convenient location. The only issue is that the 4-bed dorm I was in had the bathroom and shower in the room. Dublin is a party city, so guests come in at all hours. They take showers and get ready for bed while the rest of us are trying to sleep. It would be better if the restrooms/showers were outside the dorm room.
