Room was clean, staff were great and incredibly helpful. Especially when I asked to check-in early after my redeye flight. Only issue was the washroom was on the smaller side considering it was a room for a total of 8 people.

Friendly front desk staff, central location. Shares a wall with the night club next door so it’s very loud until 2am. Everyone in the room was very respectful though and stayed quiet coming and going.

My room basically had no amenities (to be fair, they probably were not in their hosting page) and could use some fixing up. But the staff were lovely and the hostel is in a great location.

Enjoyable but not sure I would return.

The staff were great, friendly but not intrusive. One of the night staff at the desk played a harmonica and he was awesome. Felt like you were at home with friends. The one negative was that there was no curtain across the bunks to block light if someone came in late. Or to hopefully baffle the snoring individual across the room.

My traveling companion and I were very disappointed in our stay at the Ashfield Hostel - so much so, that we checked out 4 days early to stay at another location. The staff was respectful, but neither of us felt comfortable walking in or out of the hostel at night. I had gone down to receive a food delivery we had ordered, and several highly intoxicated men attending the SoHo club next door tried getting too close to me. All throughout the night until 4:30am we could hear people screaming, bottles shattering, and incessant intoxicated singing. While observing out our window, I also witnessed people indulging in severely illegal drugs. The room itself was not great either. The bathroom in particular was very disappointing. I am not a large person, but I could barely turn 360 degrees in the shower - I could barely clean myself. Also, as soon as you turned on the shower head, the shower was so small, the water instantly sprayed the entirety of the floor below it, leaving it completely soaked which required us to acquire more towels, which we had to pay for. This hostel was also advertised to have laundry units, which it did not.

Great location and staff

Good hostel. Each bed has plugs, light and a ledge which was nice to use. No curtains.
Downfall would be no communal showers so although there was a shower in the room you might have to wait for others in the room. There were two additional toilets downstairs. Kitchen was nice. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Walkable to almost everything. Upstairs rooms are probably quieter at night.

Perfect location -noisy street

The hostel is centrally situated and perfect location for Trinity college, the river etc.
The reception staff was particularly helpful and friendly. Useful lockers to leave bag until the evening before return to the airport. The place is clean and safe. My room was on a very busy and noisy street with all night traffic of tram, buses cars. I thoroughly recommend bringing ear plugs so as to be able to sleep.

I stayed in the 18 person dorm room. It's a large space and didnt feel crowded. The showers were cramped and one didn't drain very well. There was a lack of hooks and shelves in both the bathroom and bedroom spaces. That's pretth common in most hostels.

The kitchen is large and well equipped. Tea, coffee, and hot chocolate supplies are provided.

The hostel is super convenient to find. It's literally 70 steps or less from the #16 bus stop. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. There are also lots of grocery stores, including SPAR and Tescos.

This was a great stay in a wonderful location. Easy to get to everything (Trinity College, shops/restaurants, the river, Temple Bar, bus tour meeting locations, etc.)

They have lockers in the main lobby you can rent through a machine and the front desk person gave me change for a bill so I had coins to put in the machine - this was SO helpful as even after I checked out I was able to keep my stuff in the locker while walking around Dublin. I came back to get my bags before leaving for the airport.

I stayed in a female 6 bed room and it was fine - one bathroom for 6 girls goes about as far as you'd expect - especially when they're getting ready for a night out. Make friends, lol!

The bathroom floor got soaked everytime the shower was used and the bathroom is very tiny - I imagine a larger person might have trouble in there.

My one qualm was that the website says they have nightly pub crawl tours and I asked the front desk about this, they said they don't do them. So that was disappointing. I went out to Temple Bar with a girl I'd met on a day trip that day instead, which was amazing, but if I hadn't met her I wouldn't have had evening plans anymore which sucked. I was hoping to make friends on the hostel's pub crawl. They need to update their site.

Great for young people

Never stayed at a hostel until this time. Thank goodness we had 3 people to get a private room & bathroom. The luggage hold room is not secure, people are in & out constantly. Highly suggest using the locked lockers that u have to pay for. Kitchen area is open freely which is nice. Otherwise all staff was super nice & helpful.

We stayed in a two person room and it was like having a hotel room with two twin beds. It was great location. The only complaint was the beds were not the best, not the worst though. The parking garage that was closest give a student rate if you go to the office. THe photo is the view from our room.

Great alternative for a short stay in the city

The bed was €26 including breakfast. staff was somewhat unfriendly, but I guess that comes with dealing with the masses. Very pleased with the price and the quality of the room. The beds even have USB and power plugs so you can charge your devices effortlessly. The breakfast was nice, too.
All in all definitely recommendable and in an expensive city like Dublin, a great alternative to spend the night.

Excellent Location

If you want a central location within walking distance of most tourist attractions this is the place to stay. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly and will assist with any questions that you have. I would recommend this hostel if you are looking to stay in Dublin on a budget. We stayed in a private room for four that had a double bed and bunk bed which was ideal as we were visiting the city with a 9 year old child. The room was very quite and despite the hostel been busy there was very little noise.

Ok for 1 night

Accommodation in Dublin is unbelievably expensive and this budget hostel is no exception. Super friendly staff, safe location/environment and great plentiful breakfast make up for very basic room/bathroom: tiny, bare, sad and very noisy since right on busy street with the constant trudge of double-decker buses going by. No air in room without (single) window fully open, so noisy as. 'Tis what it is.

Not a good place to rest, excellent for partiers

The staff is very nice and helpful, the lobby has a nice lounge where people can socialize, breakfast was better than in other hostels I stayed, the rooms and common areas were clean and the fact that every bed has it's own cellphone charger was a good plus, but the metal beds as well as the doors were very noisy. The clinking sound never stops! The area is not a quiet one either. We hear traffic and in the morning the construction noise was quite loud. Not a good place to rest but a very good one for those who go to Dublin to party.

Great experience excellent staff

This was my first hostel ever and i do not regret it. The staff was excelent. The heavey set irish gentleman that works the front desk during the evening was amazingly helpful. He truelly appeared to enjoy helping guest, myself included, and was very knowledgeable. He saw my last name had irish heritage and went into detail about the history of my family name and other irish families that had ties to mine. Would stay here if I am ever in dublin again. The one con I had was there were no electrical sockets in the room, only in the common area.

Great location but nightclub next door

Nice little hostel in great location for the city centre and bus to the airport!
Only issue was the nightclub located pretty much next door with loud music until the early hours. The dorm I stayed in you could feel every beat of the music through the bed frame and people chatting in what I guess was the smokers area outside the locked external door of the room. That said there isn't much the hostel can do about that.

Overall would recommend the hostel...

Good Budget Room In Dublin

I had a private room which was very affordable for being right in the center of Dublin within easy walking distance from the main attractions like Trinity College and O'Connell street. The room was small and had two single beds and a small bathroom. Fine for 1 person, it would be tight with two. The bathroom also had two faucets, so water was either cold or hot, no warm. The shower was good. Lots of kids/students here so the lobby could get noisy, but I had no trouble in my room. Slow elevator. Overall though, for the price, this was well worth it.

Ashfield hostel-all the best

The hostel was not a fantastic one, to be true, but the service was very good, polite and understanding. A couple of important things that the hotel could improve on are: to make shower cabins bigger, which should make them safer for use; and to allow guests take keys with them!!! Leaving keys at the reception can be frustrating...
