Central locaton- good facilities- eating area - bar- recreation areas-

Stayed in February 2025

The large groups of young adults/ teenagers that tried to fight the security staff while we were at the location.

Generator Dublin had all the basics you could need plus a large social area. I liked that everything was explained clearly in regards to the facilities and rooms.

No towels in room (I didn't read the small print) option to rent though. Our corridor was slightly noisy with other guests but ear plugs on offer for €1.

Price and facilities on offer. We had an overnight in Dublin where cost was our main priority. Booked a private room for 4 of us. We arrived at 9.30pm and left at 6am. Perfect for our needs. Lockers for storing bags during the day while sightseeing, next to a Tesco metro and main bus route for airport.

The dorm bunks were quite exposed without a curtain

Stayed in a 8 bed dorm with 7 of us so was great for socialising and planning for the day. Fantastic location with lots of food and shops around it.

The overall cleanliness Is not so good, the first room provided was so noisy (near the hall with high volume music, people slamming doors, etc.) that we felt unconfortable to sleep in and we asked to swap for another room (staff was kind and apologized for It and they agreed to our request, I have appreciated that). Rooms are lacking shelves/tables to hold any small object that you commonly take out from your pockets/luggages/backpack. Even the toilet does not have shelves to hold any item (e.g. toothbrush, personal belongings)

The Building Is close to the city center and well connected to public transportation stops. There are a lot of activities that can be done at the hostel, the staff Is friendly and matresses are comfortable

Really good location, value is actually quite good for Dublin and for the facilities. A lot to do downstairs

In a hostel much depends on your roommates for the night. Some were good, some not.

Good location in my favourite part of Dublin. Friendly atmosphere, all ages. Good bar.

The only downside is that it can be very noisy after midnight with people in and out slamming doors all the time. Also the bathroom was a bit scary - random drunk people puking in showers and leaving a mess.

Very convenient place to stay in Dublin.

The door to the balcony in our room was broken and didn’t close

It was in a good location

The noise at night was a bit much

I liked the bar and the hostel communal spaces

Stayed in December 2024

Felt dirty and dusty in corners of the bedroom.

Great communal area and generally offered everything we needed.

No soap in shower😞

The bathroom in our bedroom needed to be cleaned better. There was grim in places, I am tall so I got to see that it wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. We had an en-suite bathroom so can’t imagine the communal.

I like the vibe and the room was spacious with a large comfortable bed. Loved all the amenities available in the building. They also had discounts codes available for some activities in the city.

The pillows are very uncomfortable and the rooms don’t have a bathroom so in my case for example I had to go to a different floor to access the girl’s bathroom which is very inconvenient specially if you wanna go in the middle of the night

The location is great and the place has a nice bar with events happening.

Loud music heard to the rooms

Good people good price good location

Staff was amazing. Helping in all ways possibe

Stayed in January 2025

the fact that check in is at 2pm (in my case was a bit more delayed which is fine) but check out is at 10am which makes it a 20 hour cycle which isn’t the best but for the price it’s good.

friendly people, nice environment, helpful staff, great location, alot of things to do around.

Dorm rooms smaller than they look in the images

Great bar, good location

Stayed in December 2024

The beds were not made and at night was very noisy after 2am.

The location is central, close to the city centre, a lots of essential shops cross the road, parking available near by not expensive. The staff is excellent, 24H available and very helpful and kind. Good entertainment facilities and breakfast buffet at a reasonable price.

no bathroom in bedroom

location and service

Stayed in January 2025

The single room has no ensuite bathroom. Going past it, my room was on the first floor. On this floor there are only women's toilets. I had to go to the next floor to use the toilet and take a shower. Bad planning that.

The staff and the location are great. Smithfield can be quite graphical but ok all in all. It was not too crowded either this time which was nice.

Stayed in January 2025

Rowdy group of men in bar and no one came to speak to them and they were very intrusive and kept approaching any women in their vicinity and they fought with each other and broke glass bottles.
