Relatively convenient location and decent cleanliness. But its floor makes a lot of noise when someone walks by. And there's always someone walking by even at 2pm. So it's almost impossible to sleep.

the place is nicely located, minutes walk from Westend restaurants and shops. The private room was very cleaned though had a bar fridge in the room that made a rattling soon all night! also, the other residents were very loud at night till 1 am, they appeared drunk though alcohol is not supposed to be allowed on-premises. so beware who else is staying there at the time, if you want a restful night. I needed an early night as had an early start but did not get much sleep due to the fridge, other residents as well as a loud drilling sound around midnight!!

Two-way Bargain: you get what you pay for
2/5 Star rating. Great location. Laid back style receptionist. Car park is always full however there is sufficient space along the side road. Although the rooms are dated, windows and floor boards squeak and traffic noise tend to flow in, othee guests are quiet and tidy. The bunk beds especially the top ones really are unstable/squeaks/ too small to climb up and down. Sleeping in can be a challenge with daily house keeping entering the room and vacuuming (which is nice to have a free service). Entry up the staircase, there's a strong repulsive smell. Quick and Easy booking/check out service.

Very loud until 5am, dirty
Worst hostel ever. Rooms smell and are dingy. 2 bathrooms to whole hostel and one door was always broke and wouldn't close. Didn't get any sleep due to other guest's shouting and laughing until 5am. Apparently there is a night manager who is supposed to stop the noise but didn't see the night manager or hear anyone putting a stop to rude people. If you are looking for a place to be awake for your whole time there choose this place otherwise give it a miss.

Nice, simple, cheap hostel with a nice vibe.
This place is a hostel in every sense of the word. Lots of backpackers, with decent facilities for cooking(though it can be a bit crowded). The staff were great. The room was nothing special, quite spase, but definitely what I paid for. The staff have a great shuttle service to the metro, as well as Roma Street Bus Terminal that is free as well.

A short stop over.
Such a friendly welcome was the first experience of 'Somewhere to Stay' after the brief formalities I was free to do what ever I pleased, relax and talk with the other friendly travellers, sit back and enjoy a movie anything at all. I love this feeling of safety, fun and being apart of the family of travellers. Good vibes comfy beds and great people.. I'll definitely stay here again. Thank you ☺
