Institute of Technology Tallaght

Decent budget stay—you get what you pay for 👍 The highlight of this hostel is the staff; the check-in agent was incredibly friendly, approachable, and accommodating. * Location: Not right in the heart of the center, but very accessible. It’s just a short walk to a bus stop that connects you directly to Temple Bar, etc.. Plus, a cheap airport bus stops only a few steps away. * Room: I booked a 2-bed dorm. The bed was okay and served its purpose, but wasn't the most comfortable. The room can get noisy since it faces the street and sits near the common washroom (you'll hear people coming and going). Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper! Also, the layout is a bit of a maze, and I kept getting lost finding my room. * Facilities: The shared bathroom is clean with plenty of toilet/shower cubicles and sinks. Body wash/shampoo is provided, but towels may cost extra, so bring your own. Verdict: The overall appearance is just okay. It is definitely not a fancy stay, but it is acceptable for the price. I would probably stay here again.

The photos of the property are there, it is updated. What I didn’t really understand prior to arriving was the long set of stairs to drag my suitcase up. It’s like 4 stories and no elevator. The other issue is that the noise from neighboring rentals would wake me often, sometimes at 2:30 am—and the street noise can sometimes last pretty late. It was hard to get a good nights rest. The digital key was often problematic. Check in at 3:00pm was late.. we didn’t have access until 4 pm, which was a problem for us.
