The luggage storage system is not optimal: one cannot know the dimensions (depth in particular) of storage boxes without renting one (also, the staff at the reception couldn't give me a precise answer about that) so one might end up renting a box too small for one's bag.

Beds are rather comfortable and dorms correctly equipped.

The buffet breakfast (which cost 6€) did not have much range or variety, and i felt that perhaps the price i paid for my bed could have included a breakfast of this size and variety. Also, many of the soap dispensers in the bathrooms were missing

Beds were comfortable and the hostel was in a good location- easy to walk to various attractions

There was no shared kitchen for you to prepare your food.

The location was easy to go to the old town on foot or take a bus or tram if you want. It provided all the basic things.

no use of public kitchen

I stayed at generater hostel for one night nice hostel nice atmosphere

Stayed in August 2024

The hostel did not have shared kitchen for food preparation.

It located in a quiet area. The hostel had provided all the basic except a shared kitchen. One could choose to take bus or tram to go to the down town area or just walked a little bit of time along the river. The river view was good and there were a number of restaurants or shops on both sides of the river. The sightseeing points were all inside the main town area. If you didn't mind walking, no need to take any bus or tram.

My stuff was gone (towel & slippers) because of a miscommunication between staff. I was the only guy staying in the room over night and the cleaner thought that everybody was moving out so some of my stuff was gone (thrown away?). I was given a complimentary breakfast and a towel - everybody was trying to fix the problem but the hostel had run out of slippers by the time I moved in so I got none

Convenient location, very close to the centre of Dublin. Nice cafe nearby. The price was the most reasonable amongst all the options available on Booking. Easy check-in. The lobby area has plenty of space. The shared toilets and baths are clean

Snoring room mates but I guess this isn’t the hostels fault. Seems to be popular with young party crowd/stag parties etc so maybe look elsewhere if you are looking somewhere quieter.

Good hostel in Smithfield, Dublin. Good location close to public transport or walkable to centre. Nice staff, let me check in about an hour early as the bed was ready. Comfortable beds and shared bathroom in room. Nice bar area.

I might’ve made a mistake personally when booking the room, but I could’ve sworn I chose all-female accommodations and it ended up being a mixed/mostly male room. I was a bit uneasy and had to double/triple check in the morning to make sure I was the one in the wrong, but luckily, everything worked out ok and everyone was very respectful.

So conveniently located! The bar and food offered here are so good and fun, and the social environment is the absolute BEST. I had such a blast! Would definitely stay here again. The employees here were also EXTREMELY kind and helpful!

The bathrooms were pretty dirty. Seems like they didn't get enough attention. Private bathroom was moldy, so went to public and found the same thing. Missing handles on the shower, no real place to setup a kit inside the shower stall. No shelves and not enough hangers for clothing, and towel.

It was new, and the staff was great!! They had a bar, and other things to keep people interested. Close to the trains and bus line. Walking distance to everything.

Some of the facilities could use a renewal but everything was working fine!

The location was perfect and the common rooms and facilities were really for people looking for making new connections

Whilst generator dublin has good facilities, it lacks the party hostel vibe it advertises. At 10pm the bar area closed, meaning you could not even sit in the area and access the pool tables, or water facility past this time. On top of this, the outside area closed at 10pm, allegedly due to complaints from neighbours. The outside area being closed leaves guests having to go outside the front to smoke and vape which is unsafe. Alternatively, the team could just make the outside area a quiet space after 10pm so guests do not have to feel unsafe standing out the front. On top of this, as this hostel is advertised for ages 18-40, i was quite surprised to find groups of school kids running around. It should be disclosed on the booking page that this hostel allows young children within the facility, as advertising it as an 18+ hostel is a blatant lie. Another issue that was not advertised well on the website is that if you book a mixed room, the girls bathrooms are on the lower floor - this should be disclosed as i would have booked a room with the bathroom facilities on the same floor. For the hefty price of this hostel, i feel quite deceived by how the hostel operated.

Bedrooms are designed well and are new and up to date. Bathrooms are well maintained.

the smell of the rooms

Stayed in August 2024

The bedrooms were really dusty and not all the “new”beds had clean linen on them (two of us were given beds with unclean linen). I felt safe enough once inside but I met other solo female travellers who didn’t and that security didn’t do anything when they voiced their concerns. Tons of young school students running and banging on doors until 2am (obvs expected less sleep in a hostel) but I could hear guests going to reception to complain and no one came to check.

It’s in Smithfield and right beside the luas line so it’s super handy. The communal bathrooms were clean and the staff were nice!

Bathrooms are too old and needed a renovation probably 5 years ago

Good location, great bar

Staff weren’t particularly friendly. Shared showers could have been cleaner.

Overall good value for money. In a great location. Comfortable, clean rooms.

The stool in the room was so short that it was not possible to use the desk. I had a window that opened to an area with benches and the users were very loud. The good news is that it was not in loud late into the night.

Friendly staff, engaged me in conversation. The location was excellent.

Stayed in July 2024

The cleanliness of the communal bathrooms, showers and toilets was lacking. This was not due to the staff cleaning poorly but rather due to some of the guests being..less than ideal human specimens. Cleaning more often might solve this issue. Definitely bring slippers for walking through the communal areas.

The staff was very friendly and efficient. They welcomed me and informed me well about all things hostel related as well as the nearby restaurants and the like. The rooms were big enough and had all the necessary amenities to make my stay comfortable.

we were close to the main door, it was shut many times during the night and it was very noisy. We needed earplugs. some shelves would be needed in the bathroom.

Very well located

Stayed in July 2024

The room was ok, but there were some thing broken and it was very hot. The doors in the building are ridiculously loud when closing, what means you wake up all the time.

close to the city center.

We booked a private room with a private bathroom, so we expected a higher level of cleanliness and comfort, but we were disappointed. Just after checking in, we found a very dirty pillow on our bed, and the room was also not as clean as it should have been. The environment had very poor lighting with a single, narrow window facing the exterior courtyard, offering very little privacy. The bathroom was very basic, and you have to pay to get towels and any other amenities, which is, in fact, a major downside. Additionally, the cleaning service was very sloppy, and we had to request extra cleaning twice, which was never actually done.

The hostel is located in a very convenient area, full of shops and bars, with the city center only a 20-minute walk away (it is also possible to get there by bus or tram if needed), but this is one of its very few pros.

The location is good. But just because the hotel offers group rooms, this means that there is a need for a kitchen and a place to eat. I felt that the management wants to force customers to eat in the bar or restaurant, depending on the location.
