Once you arrive in Dublin after your journey from Canada, you can check in at any time after 3 pm. Check-out time is 11 am on your day of departure. If you have any delays or issues prior to arrival, give us a call or send us an email and we’ll be able to help! Reception is open 24 hours, so don’t worry if you’re getting a late flight.

Bed linen is included and beds are made up and ready for your arrival. Don’t worry about filling your suitcase with towels either, as they can be hired for just €2.  Our deluxe double rooms and twin rooms have towels included.

If it was any closer, you’d be in the river Liffey! We’re beside the main Bus station (Busaras), just 2 minutes from Connolly Street train stations. The O’Connell Street and Henry Street shopping area is just a 5-minute walk away and Temple bar is about a 12-minute walk away. Did we mention we’re also close to the Luas? We’re the ideal hostel for any American’s looking to explore the beautiful city of Dublin.

Our new bottomless porridge breakfast is tasty, vegan, gluten-friendly and a great way to start your day.  For €6 you get as much porridge as you can eat, with premium toppings such as chia seeds, hazelnuts, dates, cranberries, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, raisins, coconut flakes and more.  All this is paired with fresh orange juice and hot coffee – bottomless as well!  If you’re craving something more, we have a fantastic menu at our restaurant where you can grab a latte or a bacon roll for sit-in or take-away.  Get your day started off right!

Each bed in our dormitories have personal coded storage lockers – so there’s no need to bring a padlock!

If you arrive early before check-in time, we have large and medium lockers available for rent on the ground floor.  No padlock is required!  Rental is by time used and starts at €3 for 6 hours – great for keeping your bags safe while you explore Dublin either before you get the keys to your room or after check-out ahead of a late flight home to Canada.

No. Dublin is a bit like Montreal, it never sleeps! Reception is open 24 hours a day. We just ask that you respect your roommates if coming in late. Quiet is requested between 11pm and 7am in rooms and corridors.

We’re very open-minded, we like all types of money: cash, credit cards – MasterCard and Visa, Debit Cards. When making your reservation be sure to give us either a deposit or your credit card, to guarantee the reservation. We’d recommend changing some of your Canadian Dollars into Euros to use during your stay in Dublin, as some venues or market stalls for example may be cash only.

If you made an individual standard reservation with us directly, we will accept cancellations up to 72 hours prior to the date of arrival. If cancelled later or in the event of a no-show the full balance of the booking will be charged. If you booked through a 3rd party we may require longer – if in doubt, email us. Any Advance purchase ‘Pay Now’ reservations are unfortunately non-modifiable and non-refundable.

For groups, we require pre-payment on bookings of 8 or more persons. Any group cancellations must be made in writing 4 weeks before the arrival date of the group.

To check-in, guests must provide a valid government-issued ID and a credit card in their name… and have enough money to pay for their bed for the night. It’s that simple! You will also need ID for drinking in bars, with the minimum age for alcohol consumption in Dublin being 18.

Lastly, if you’re boozing while others are snoozing, show respect. Please keep the noise levels down between 11 pm and 7 am.

Groups that include people under 18 must include adults of 18+. Individual travellers must be 18 to check in.
Families travelling with children under the age of 16 are welcome but we ask that they book private rooms. Dormitories are not appropriate for family accommodation.

You are able to book a maximum of 14 nights, online and directly as we are a short-stay hostel. We also operate a min stay policy for some weekends/events. Should you wish to extend your stay this is entirely at the discretion of management. Management also reserves the right to refuse admission.
