Gardiner House Hostel

Security issue There was a thief trying to steal my iPhone when I was sleeping. At 3:25 on 14.July I was sleeping at Chapel Gallery Room bed 4. A lady at bed 3 climbed up my  bed,  stretching her hand to the small table above my bed and trying to steal my iPhone on the table. Because the bed was shocking, I was awake in shock realizing somebody on my bed trying to steal my phone. I was screaming and she was shocked and running away. Fortunately, my phone was not gone. There is no security measurements in this hostel.  This suspicious lady claimed that she did not steal my iPhone. She just took a shower and put the towel…. There are some her fingerprints on my phone. There are evidences. But my phone is still there. I can not send her to the police. By this terrible experience, please do not accommodate in this hostel. They do not have any security measurements to provide this thing happen.

Excellent value for money - clean spacious dorms and good location with convenient transport links. The chapel experience is very quirky.

I stayed in a dormitory room and luckily it wasn’t too noisy during the night. The bed was clean and had power outlets, which was very convenient. I recommend bringing your own padlock for the locker, otherwise you’ll need to pay €4 to get one. The price is a bit high — €50 for one night in a dorm with around 30 people — but the location is excellent, right in the city center.

Hostel is cozy and clean. Location is good and beds are comfortable. Staff is very friendly and polite. They let me to leave my luggage there even though I arrived early in the morning. Unfortunately, there was an older person with some health and breathing conditions that didn’t let anyone sleep in our dorm room. He could even barely walk up the stairs to the third floor not to mention climbing onto the upper bunk. I think that this kind of situation should be reconsidered with care and solution for everyone.

Very pleasantly surprised with the hostel, unique and quirky, stayed in the chapel/ convent part, and very happy with all the amenities. Spotlessly clean, plenty of showers, wash areas. Breakfast facilities more than enough. A great place to stay if visiting Dublin. Will definitely return.

The place was very clean. Breakfast was good. I just struggled as I wasn't able to relax with the sleeping arrangement. I was nervous. Not the fault of the hostel, just me.
