Booked to stay here in May 2020 (bearing in mind I booked it in November 2019) and I have still not received a refund. 

Every single time I have tried to complain, I get nowhere and they just tell me that they could not have predicted the global pandemic. I want my money back and I will never try and stay here again. Staff are a joke.

Terrible organisation

This hostel did the job for 1 night. I booked this hostel as I had also booked a 6-day paddywagon tour the following day so it was a convenient location to stay. 
Check-in only starts from 1pm, so since I arrived at 12pm I just had to wait in the reception area for an hour which was a bit annoying but I booked an 8-bed mixed dorm, but got moved to a 4-bed dorm with just me and my friend which was nice. The kitchen is pretty average, but in a different building entirely to the rooms. The kitchen also closes at 10pm and doesn't open again till 7 or 8. The wifi only works at reception, which once again, is a different building entirely to the buildings the rooms are in. The rooms were very basic, and our room was right underneath the train tracks so that was quite noisy. The rooms itself were relatively clean. Some of the staff were friendly, but agree with the other reviews that some of the staff can be a bit rude. I definitely wouldn't recommend staying here unless you have a tour with paddywagon booked as there are much nicer hostels close by.

Average Hostel

Some of these reviews seem a little harsh for a cheap place to stay. Sure it’s not a 5 star hotel but you shouldn’t be expecting that. Everything was clean, and the staff was friendly! They even brought us a heater when we said we were cold at night. The bathroom being downstairs is a little inconvenient, but it was nice to have a shower and sink in our room. No wifi in the dorms. But overall a good place to stay if you need a cheap, comfy, clean bed. 

Great place despite the terrible reviews

9/1/19 to 9/4/19: Paddy's Palace Hostel-Dublin: This hostel is near the main bus station in Dublin, so it's best feature. Out of all the many hostels, B & B's, guest homes, etc., we stayed in over the summer of 2019, the past 87 days, this was the worst. On a positive note, it is in a great location and offers a free Paddy-Wagon Tour to guests who stay 2 or more nights. The building is old, as are many, so not an excuse, but  it is poorly maintained and only moderately clean, the hot water taps have issues- you cannot turn them down, always too hot, the heaters were on and unable to be shut off, so way too warm in our room and the bathroom.  Not usually a bad thing, but it was warm in Dublin, so uncomfortable. One of the showers on our floor, (Room 4-second floor) had a broken head, but it was at least able to be regulated to temperature and it got you reasonably wet enough to wash your hair, compared to the other one, which was complete, but only had scalding water. However, the water in the kitchen, where you would want it hotter, does not get hot at all, so makes me leary of how the dishes were washed, also no towels to dry the dishes.They advertise Wi-Fi, but we did not know it is only in reception area, not in the rooms, and did not work the entire 3 days we were there. To get to your room, you have to enter through a separate exterior door by ringing a buzzer. Unfortunately the buzzer did not work, and though we told the office and they agreed "Somebody" should put up a sign, no one ever did. However, the staff was very nice and it had a nice self-catering kitchen, and like I said, the location is great, close to the bus and tram and a colorful, old neighborhood.

Great location, Mediocre Hostel

This hostel is dirty and the people who work there are extremely rude. Receptionist won't even bother to get up to even help with anything and was rude the entire stay and told me to sleep outside my room than help me get inside the room. Receptionist would curse at me for not being able to unlock the door when the key card obviously did not work. Would not recommend to anyone. They also have outdated checkin process which also took about an hour to check in. All in all, the worst hostel experience I ever had.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOSTEL!

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT BOOK AT THIS HOSTEL. 
I'd rather burn my money than let this place keep even a single cent of it. 

I've traveled for years in hostels and this has been by far the worst. Our group of 8 all called our credit card companies and got refunded. Long story short
- blamed for something we didn't do, they didn't care
- staff member cursed at and actually tried to fight us when we said our key cards didn't work. How professional.
- denied entrance even though we had paid, sat outside until the morning 
- management refused to listen, denied us a refund when we cancelled the rest of our stay, and threatened to call the cops when we kept arguing. Insane.

Even if that doesn't happen to you:
The facilities are garbage. Staff is inept even if they aren't rude, Wifi doesn't work at all, linens are gross, rooms are muggy and smell bad, bathrooms are tiny and disgusting, keycards don't work, hell the door into the hostel doesn't even work. Go to Abigail's Hostel: it's 5 min away, essentially the same price and infinitely nicer accomodations with quality rooms, service, and even free breakfast
Paddy's is absolute trash, I don't know how they even have a 3 star review

Single most trash hostel I've ever been to- I'll sleep in a gutter with a puking hobo before I step foot in this place a

I booked a stay for 19€ a night which was the cheapest I found in Dublin. To me the place was great value for that money, especially with the free 9-hour tour that was included with more than two nights. The rooms felt safe, apart from the lack of lockers to keep your things overnight. Facilities were clean enough, beds were comfortable and sheets were changed daily. I didn't leave my things in the bed for the day which resulted in another traveller taking it while I was out for the day and I found myself changing beds within the room every day. Numbered and allocated beds could be an improvement, however this didn't bother me much. There were some issues with the main door, which wouldn't open at times but the 24-hour reception meant there was always someone to help. Some guests seemed annoyed by the door, however it wasnt too big a deal for me as I was never in a huge rush to get in. One thing that did bother me was the lack of WiFi, which would have been needed and I especially missed as it was broadly advertised online. The staff were very apologetic and the situation was clearly out of their hands. The kitchen was great! Especially for those staying longer and willing to cook for themselves there's plenty of opportunity. The breakfast was very basic but it was free and included toast and cereal which for me was plenty for the price. The hostel is walking distance from everywhere! The only downside to a central location is a noisy road outside as well as a railway, which could be an issue if you're a light sleeper. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for cheap, basic accommodation in Dublin. The name is slightly misleading but I felt like I got my money's worth.

Good value for money

I came a few days ago on a tour, this hostel is one of the worst I've ever been in.
The breakfast was gone after 15 minutes there was nothing left and nobody a part from a poor guy from reception was there to refill "the buffet". 
The toilets on first floor were absolutly revolting and nobody was there to clean them.
The room was dirty and sheets were not changed as there were fresh stains on them.
Run away from this place

Absolute disgrace

This hostel seems to get a lot of grief from reviewers but I'm unclear what they were expecting. For €23 - possibly the cheapest bed in Dublin, I got:

- a late check in from a nice night shift member of staff
- an allocated bed that was exceedingly comfortable
- a clean ensuite bathroom in a 8 bed shared dorm (only 3 people in it)
- an acceptable but basic breakfast of cereal and toast

It's in easy walking distance from the main attractions and the 747 airport bus stops nearby. I had expected a horror palace but was pleasantly surprised.

Perfectly acceptable budget bed

Don't mind your head 

Paddy's palace Dublin is a bockety wonky hostel. 

I wouldn't give it much of a rating. Other hostels a lot better value and  more comfortable however, the weekend rates are very competitive (20 per night) compared to other hostels in the locality. 

The linen is clean. Not much more to be expected. There are cracks in the walls though, these buildings are old, and damp.

It's Dublin for ya, bicycles in the bus lanes, taxis in the bicycle lanes and Paddy's palace on the corner with it's winking leprechaun abomination of a logo. 

Off ye go.
