Comfy clean bed and clean bathroom, great location, excellent price.

Bad experience. The staff are nice, but the beds are small and uncomfortable, there's no soundproofing so enjoy the sounds of people and cars all night long. Strange people sleeping here, they stole my pizza. Would not recommend staying more than one night. Only good thing is the price & discount from the apache shop down below

No use of a lift so if you have heavy luggage it can be difficult to navigate the stairs. As it is in the temple bar area, it is incredibly noisy throughout the night, I would advise taking ear plugs or using headphones. I found the bed to be comfortable and the facilities met my needs.

All was amazing

They were so helpful and also you get 20% off in the pizza place in the corner. There is a smoking area in the rooftop with those views I uploaded on pictures.

There is no staff to receive you in conditions. On arrival we had to wait at reception for 5-10 minutes because there was no staff there, and to our surprise, we were served by the pizza man from Apache pizzeria. We asked him if there was a kitchen in the hostel and his answer was ‘I don't know’. Lack of professionalism. The fact that there is no one at reception meant that right in our room, a drunk man arrived at 2am, turned on the light and shouted at a friend of his who was in another room. As there is no one in charge of the reception, there is no one who can avoid these situations of disrespect towards people who want to rest.

The location, It's in the heart of the city centre.

There is little to do in the hostel, no facilities, the Wi-Fi is practically nonexistent, the staff were rude most of the time with several guests and myself.

Nothing really.

The showers were broken and had no water at all in the sinks in the bathroom on the second floor.

Lots of street noise but can’t be helped, and is the price you pay for being so central

Great location and nice facilities!

The smell that comes from the pizzeria on first floor os so strong though the whole building. The window in the room didnt open anything, it was blocked and we didnt know about this until arrive in the room. The shower on the bathroom was terrible, or it was too hot or too cold. On the next floor above us, we stay listening a fight between 4 people for around 2/3 hours, and none of the staff did anything. We note it was 4 people because we got out the room to see what was happening and we saw the four arguing.

The windows were leaking, the curtains did not make the room dark. So it was basically like you would sleep with open windows at the main road. It was freezing cold because just one heater worked. Even though I was the only person in the room, there was still stuff from the people before there. No kitchen, no common area. The smoking area was very slippery and frozen.

the room was very big

I was checked in incorrectly and couldn’t find my room. Staff came into the entrance and shouted and talked loudly for hours in the night. The room was extremely hot with no windows or fresh air. I came back to the room and there was a man in the bed I was sleeping in. Bedding is provided but I’m not sure if it is changed. 4 men were in the ‘secure room’ within my room shouting during the night. I had to ask them to stop. They were not staying in the room. I think they were staff. There is no place to store belongings safely. I left a night early as I didn’t feel safe.

The location was fantastic. Close to a shop and fantastic pub called Norseman. Right in the centre of temple bar

I didn’t expect luxury for the price, but this hostel was truly shocking. Cleanliness was non-existent—everything was dirty, smelly, and downright disgusting. The room itself was okay in size, but the window didn’t seal properly, so it was freezing cold and drafty all night. The bed was so filthy that I woke up puffy and uncomfortable every morning. The atmosphere was equally unsettling, with very strange guests who made the place feel more like a shelter than a hostel. It was impossible to feel relaxed or safe. Overall, this was by far the worst hostel experience I’ve ever had. Avoid at all costs!

During the night you could hear the noise from the street below, but it was a friday night. Noise was expected.

Easy check in, bed was comfortable, room was neat and tidy

The Apache Hostel should be **regulated and closed down** due to its unacceptable conditions. The lack of cleanliness, cold temperatures, and absence of proper ventilation create an unhealthy environment for guests. This reflects poorly on the tourism industry in Ireland and Dublin, highlighting a need for stricter regulations and inspections. It's disappointing that such establishments can operate without adequate oversight, tarnishing the reputation of Ireland as a welcoming tourist destination. Immediate action is essential to ensure that all hostels meet basic health and safety standards for visitors.

I had a terrible experience at Apache Hostel. The place was **absolutely disgusting**—cold, dirty, and reeking of unpleasant odors. The lack of windows or proper ventilation made it feel claustrophobic and stuffy, which was unbearable. The bathrooms were filthy, and the overall hygiene was appalling. I felt unsafe and uncomfortable throughout my stay, and I strongly advise anyone considering this hostel to **avoid it at all costs**. It’s not worth the money or the health risks associated with such a neglected environment.

Down stairs is a pizza restaurant and it’s so dirty when you go down and you can not have a good place to put your luggage or to take a rest. Because they don’t have lounge, so the only thing you can do when back to hostel is to stay at your room.

The location is really really good.

For 90% of the time for Sunday, the whole day, the receptionist was not in, I could barely check-in. I have phone about 10+ times, no body pick up the phone.

The location is OK.
