Ashfield Hostel

It's just what it should be: cheap and comfy. They offer free coffee, tea, milk, and hot chocolate (it's in the kitchen for everyone, you have to prepare it yourself). Also Connor, who works there during regular hours (not too early or too late), is an amazing human being who's always ready to help. I've sent groups of people there and they end up as happy as me with them.

Really nice hostel in the center of Dublin. Really worth your money for what you get, Dublin is notorious for having expensive hotels so this hostel can help you out with making the stay reasonably priced, and it's in the middle of town, between temple bar and Trinity College, no better location possible. It's surprisingly quiet within the rooms and the staff members are also super friendly & helpful. The only downside of this place is that you have to make your own bed. Overall I would highly recommend.

Having not stayed in hostels for about 10 years I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed with the facilities at Ashfield House. Upon arrival I was greeted at the reception desk and checked in efficiently and advised about the kitchen and my room. I went through to my room which was clean. There was only one other in the room for six the first night. It was a comfortable sleep. There is bag storage under the bed in the room which you need your own padlock. The second night I had a full room but the lads were nice. I enjoyed some free milk and cereal in the morning. I used the luggage store which was all safe. I would definitely stay here again and much better than a more modern place I stayed at for my last night.

This is a little gem in the heart of Dublin. As a Trinity student part-time it’s vital I stay local and as a student it’s also important the price is on point. What can I say about Ashfield House ? Well its staff are a dream-team and very engaging. Great vibes from your first enter and during my stay here. Conor has gone above and beyond to ensure safety and comfort and enjoyment. The fact it has a kitchen where you can cook at your own leisure is also a bonus. Beds are comfy and clean, close to all amenities and bang on for my budget! Making my journeys easier, much appreciated!

Was there for three days in September for a class trip. Absolutely lovely staff and directly inside the city's heart. I shared a room with 5 of my classmates and the rooms were..not good. Mold on the bathroom ceiling and walls, the windows were awful and the bunk beds were straight up uncomfortable. You couldn't even sit up without hitting your head. But! There were USB ports and lights on each bed so that's a good thing. Would visit again but only in a single room!

I had to cancel my reservation due to a death in the family and a funeral that would be held during the time we booked. I didn’t get the insurance policy since we were all set to go. I gave them more than a 20 day notice before our stay, that we would be unable to attend our stay due to unforeseen circumstances. I asked if they could offer a one time refund and they didn’t even offer a partial refund, just said no. We will not be rebooking here. For anyone looking for great service DO NOT COME HERE.

Perfect location, being right after the bridge, close to temple bar, O'Connell Street and Trinity college. We could easily walk out the door and visit the entire city of Dublin. A big shout to the employer that was there all the time of my stay, Christopher for his help, friendliness and comedic sense that helped pass the nights!

If you are looking for good accommodation on a budget this is your place to stay in Dublin! The location is ideal, staff is very helpful and the rooms are relatively clean (I stayed in the 18 bed mixed dorm). Highly recommend!

I have stayed at Ashfield multiple times and I love it. The location is perfect! Temple Bar is across the street with a little walking distance and Trinity College is also within a 2 minute walking distance. The staff are always super friendly. Rooms are ok, clean but if you're looking for luxury, this is not where you'll find it. If you're like me, low maintenance, this will do. Freeeeee breakfast with your stay. And it's damn good. Anyhow, come to Dublin! Have a pint and think of me.

At the very least you would expect to have water and power at your hotel when you pay $175 USD for a night.. i just stayed here last night and the power went out and we got home from a pub at 11 pm and couldn't take a shower or brush our teeth or have Wi-Fi to check in for our flight and we left the next day for Scotland. It was exactly the way i would not want to spend the day before traveling. Those are bare minimum comforts and they were out for hours and I wasnt about to stay up until 2 am to shower so we went to bed and tried to wake up even earlier for our early morning flight the next day. At least the water was working but our shower was freezing. I am absolutely shook that a place like this can charge that much money for a night that disastrous.

This hostel is honestly terrible. Tiny, unclean rooms. Bathroom unclean. They gave me sheets with a massive blood stain on it. They also put a random girl in our room one night and gave her my friend's bed. I would not recommend and will not be staying here again.

Ashfield was great. I (single backpacker) showed up without a reservation and they had space, they checked me in and got me into a room that afternoon. They asked how long I'd been in Dublin, which was about 10 mins. So they got a map, showed me places to go and places to avoid. Gave me suggestions on where to eat and what to see. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The rooms were great, they have lockable cages under the beds for your items and lockers in the lobby. They have a luggage room that is locked, which is where I kept my stuff until my room was ready. The bathroom was perfect, the shower was hot and stayed hot. The view was perfect, looking out over the street and trinity college. The location was unbeatable too. I walked all over the city, it's located in the college area, within walking distance to a great night life, restaurants (traditional and non traditional Irish food), tourist attractions, the river and the shopping district. Seriously, I haven't stayed in such a great hostel in years. HIGHLY recommend this place to all travelers!

My friend and I stayed here for three nights in May and had a lovely time. We booked two beds in a four-bed female room but had it to ourselves the whole time! Some parts of the hostel look a bit run down, flaking paint and the like, but it was clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful and, when the printer wouldn't work, allowed me to print all my trip vouchers (quite a few pages) in the office for free. Also the showers were lovely, good water quality, excellent water pressure, you can turn the flow on and off without adjusting the temp, and the temp did not waver throughout the shower. It was such a lovely thing to come back to in the evening. Cons: One major complaint is that the window looked out on a busy street and the curtains, while thick, really could not block out either the noise or the lights, which my friend found disruptive to her sleep. Also took a star off because of the computers/printers/wireless not working properly and because they use actual keys, not key cards, which I find less secure. Also the toilet, sink, and shower were in the same room, which in a shared hostel room can be inconvenient and I usually see them separately, which I prefer. There are also no lockers in the room or readings lights in the bed, and we had only one electrical outlet to use for presumably four people.

I would stay here again if I went back to Dublin :) It's a hostel, so as long as you're not expecting the nicest, cleanest hotel, you will be satisfied. As long as you're not planning on spending most of your time in Dublin in your hostel room (who would?!), the Ashfield House should please you. The people who work here are so friendly and helpful, and they were very accommodating and flexible with the breakfast when we had to leave for the airport very early. It's within walking distance of so many great Dublin sights :)

Overall: 4S Room: 3.5S Location: 4S Service: 4S This place is a good location as it's walking distance. if you are a staying at hostel, this hostel, then you are a backpacker...or some weird, then walking is a must. The location of this place is great for doing walking tours on your own. The staff that work here are pretty friendly and helpful. It's not the prettiest or the cleanest but it gets the job done. They do offer tours so you can opt to go with them or not. I like to do things on my own except pub crawls. Can't go wrong.

Well located, excellent tarifs and a great staff. Confortable and clean. Totally recommended! =)

The only reason for chose this location could be the position, realy near to Dublin centre; But if you want sleep in a quiet room, stay away (the room overlooked on a busy and noisy street), if you want a merely clean stead, stay away (all ambiences are incredibly dirty!), even the sheets was really greasy, absolutely abhorrent (I'll try to post some photos of sheet, so you can see with your eyes); This "hostel" (but hostel is a compliment, the correct definition can be "gargabe with beds") is severely unsavory; Basically my suggest is: find an other place to stay and keep away the people that you care!

Good location. Bathrooms are in the room. You have to pay $1 for the towels. You have to put your own sheets on the bed as well and strip your own bed before leaving. The bathroom was not clean, but I'm sure it's hard for house keeping to clean for new guests while at least 3 other people are staying in the dorms. Decent place for the price though. Would stay again.
