Extremely disappointed with the service received from this hostel. Me and my friend had just been travelling for 27 hours from New Zealand to Dublin, we were tired and a bit nervous about being so far from home. Got to Citi Hostel and they had overbooked themselves so our only option was to sleep in seprate bedrooms or a shared 15 person room which was horrible. It was a seedy place with a gross feel & atmosphere about it. We left there feeling pretty upset, only to get charged for 2 nights accommodation anyway, even though we didn't even stay there! Overall very upset and not recommended whatsoever.

Well over priced for what it is, rooms was very small and no secure storage space, the bathroom was mouldy and had damp all up the walls the shower curtain was disgusting and the floor just flooded plus there was no where to hang a towel or put any washbag so had to use the toilet seat! This hostel is perfect for if you are just here for a few days to get pissed and not spend much time in but the price is well over what it should be.

Google maps directed us to the homeless shelter next door which was a bit frightening when we thought that was our hostel, thankfully we were directed in the right direction! We said this to Reception guy & he was quite rude to us saying what could ye do about Google maps. Obviously we didn't expect him to change this but he was quite rude about it. I asked about the breakfast & check out time while he was getting our key and he said to wait til he was finished and he would tell us all the info. He did this but he just seemed quite bored/rude/ unwelcoming. The room itself was comfortable and clean in great location so we could not fault the product but a but of customer service goes a long way!

You pay for what you get. Cheap and very simple, but reasonable clean.

I think for 27 euros per person, the bathroom should be clean. It was so dirty that I didn't even take a shower. It is a pity because the bed was clean but the bathroom ... so disgusting. Nice breakfast.

Too expensive for the service they offer. The rooms weren't ready when we did the chek-in. There was no hot water in the 4 people room shower during 2 days. No keys for the 12 people room. (They said: what do you expect from a cheap room?)

About cleaning I can't say very much, but overall I didn't found the hostel dirty at all;the staff was kind and helped you when we needed..about breakfast I dont'know..wi fi connection could have been better..finally,for about 12euros a day we shouldn't complain..in conclusion, not bad.

The hostel was absolutely filthy. The kitchen was underequiped. Only two pots available as 5 people wanted to cook. The beds were dirty with hairs in it... The staff was mixed, some very hepful and friendly some other the opposite... Over all i wouldn't come back because of the missing cleanliness.

I liked everything in this hostel.!!The staff was always willing to help me with everything I asked them. I didn't notice any dirtiness in the room although I had to share it with other three girls.And also, regarding the the location it's pretty close to downtown. You can take the bus but I preferred walking which is around 20-25minutes. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to combine cheap accommodation and fun :)

My friend and I booked a 4 bed female room for 3 nights at Citi Hostel. Reading the reviews after booking, I regretted making the down payment. We expected the worst, but, we were pleasantly surprised with the whole experience.

Citi Hostel proved to be an inexpensive nice little place, very close to the city centre. The room and sheets were clean, the staff was kind and helpful, roommates were friendly and respectful. The shower was hotter than needed; however, it was not a problem for me.

I recommend this hotel with all my heart. Please note, you’re not paying for a luxurious all inclusive hotel, you’ll probably pay 10 pounds/night (breakfast included, 24h access to the kitchen and free internet access). Do bring your soap, towel, shampoo, slippers, and possibly your own pillowcase, if you are fussy, and you will have the best accommodation you could find in Dublin.

The hostel was ok for one night. The room was very basic. We came early and they allowed us to store of bags untill we could check in and come back later. Staff were helpful, with computer useage, but nothing over the top. The issue with this hostel was it was over two sites and this was not mentioned when booking. This would not have mattered, but it would have been nice to know in advance. Breakfast was simple.

Stayed at Citihostels last weekend, my advice is to avoid it. Except for its position, this place is awful. It’s a pity: with some work (cleaning better, changing forniture, nicer staff, repainting the building) it could be a nice place

Good hostel, we enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for upgrading our rooms.

This was actually one of the first hostels I'd book again in the future!

This hostel is quiet and clean, just what I look for in a hostel. The four bed female en suite dorm is perfect for a solo traveler who wants a quiet space. The breakfast isn't cheap and uninteresting. I'm very happy to be staying here two nights.

We spent a great time there:the staff was very kind; the room was very clean. The centre is 10minutes far from the hostel by walk!!!!:-))

The place is not far from city centre: 20 min on foot or 5 min by bus (16, 16a, 19, 19a lines - 1,20-1,80 euro). Restaurants, markets and places of interest are all around it.

Rooms are small but clean, bathrooms and lockers are available.

Suggestion: bring plastic cutlery (too many guests in the kitchens = dirty plates and delays).

Staff is great, nice and gentle for anything you need.

I would choose this same hostel if I visited Dublin again.

the hostel was not very clean and the term "luxushotelzimmer" did not describe the room at all.The breakfast was okay(toast,butter,marmelade,cheese tea and coffee).If you only need somewhere to sleep it is okay but you will have to accept dirty bathrooms and uncomfortable rooms.

Very nice hostel, next to a lot of buses to the city centre, nice pubs and discos! We had booked for a 12 people room but as it wasn't crowded, they allowded us to stay in a 4 room people (we were 2!) and the first 2 nights we were alone so it was very comfortable! Personal is friendly and the hostel is clean and nice!

Staff very friendly and rooms very clean.

It was a pity that the shower only gave cold water and you had to keep on pushing a button. We only stayed for one night otherwise it would have been annoying that the shower only gave a little cold water and no hot. Hope you can work on this to fix it

The only problem I had (and everyboby that checked-in after us, during our stay) was the fact that I hadn to spend one night in another hostel because of same problems. But I take my breakfast normaly at Darcet Hotel, andmy stay there was very nice.

Nice enough for a hostel, but if you need any changes to anything, don't count on the hostel staff understanding the first, second or third time you explain it. Everything was great in the end, just a long process to get there...

I really appreciate your cleanliness, which was made by your staff every day (I always saw a woman clening the kitchen, i.g.). Bathrooms were also clean. I appreciate your breakfast: essential and good. Also the avaiability of your kitchen. Very comfortable. I would have only a criticism: maybe sheets and cover didn't correspond to our standard (a little bit old). Maybe only new cloth/material could de siutable. But, on average, we slept well. Without this criticism, your hostel would be perfect. I will recommend your hostel to my friends and I hope to see you soon again!

It is in a nice safe area with easy walk to St. Stephen's. The beds are bunked...which can make it noisy if your roommate comes in late. The fact the rooms are en suite is a huge plus because they are more clean than most of the one's I have seen. Breakfast is just toast and cereal. But the people are really nice and friendly!

There was some confusion with my booking, but I got a mattress on the floor in my friend's room for free, and the staff were excellent at sorting out the problem. Breakfast also included - a great backpackers place to stay!

The rooms are very confortable and the staff is very kind! It's in a perfect position to visit Dubli, not in the city centre but not too far from it. You can walk 15 minutes and you are in it. I'm glad to have choosen it, even if none suggested me it before!
