Times Hostel - Camden Place

We loved the location of this hostel near St. Stephen's Green. There are plenty of pubs, interesting restaurants, and food markets nearby. Great access to transit, especially the Airlink bus stop for the 757 line just a few minutes walk away.

The room (a double with ensuite bathroom) was very small with no furnishing other than the bed and a stool. We've occasionally stayed in hostels before (always in a private room) but never one so sparsely furnished or tiny. There was also a strong self-service aspect to this property that we've never experienced before, such as bringing your towels down to the front desk at checkout. Those things are fine, but we concluded that it is worth it to us to pay a little more for greater comfort. We had a second reservation at this property when we return to Dublin in November but decided to cancel it in favor of one of the many other hotels in the area. Also, the hostel is very close to an all-night club playing very loud music (this didn't bother us much but is important to be aware of for light sleepers).

Good lodgings for a short stay. Clean bathrooms. Breakfast was good enough. Good communication from the staff present.

The staff was nice, the breakfast was nice, and the hostel is clean and tidy.

the room I stayed in was extremely noisy because it's near a club and the walls are thin.

Convenient to St. Stephen Green.

Convenient location. The room was simple but met all of our needs. The neighborhood was loud, with full-throated singing past 4:30 in the morning. In fairness, we were there Friday & Saturday. Friday was not as unhinged as was Saturday.
