Niall, USA says:

I have stayed in a number of hostels around Europe, and Barnacles was one of the best. The location is very convenient for anything you want to do in Dublin, and it is close to the train station if you're going further afield. It is noisy at night because the area is very crowded with bars full of folks singing Old Lang Syne, but if you're in the bar it isn't a concern.

Jessica, USA says:

awesome location!!!! you can walk anywhere from this location and temple bar is where all the nightlife is at. i really liked staying there and am planning on staying there when we make our way back there in july. No complaints whatsoever.

Alessandro, Italy says:

Il più bell'ostello in cui sia mai stato. I ragazzi del personale sono molto gentili e simpatici, la posizione è nel cuore di temple bar ed è molto carino, sicuro e ben tenuto, oltre che pulitissimo. Merita.

Holly, USA says:

I had a great experience! I wish I could have stayed longer!

Saveliy, Russia says:

Хорошее место, в отеле чисто, есть кухня. Завтрак скромный. Ключи-карты. 12 мин до 747 aircoach (за Шпилем). Славный Даблинград! САВА (russian) Good place to cheap stay, clean, staff friendly, keycards working with some problems. Close to 747 aircoach (st near the Spire). SAVA

Eric, USA says:

It is located in a great location, but it seemed that all of the pubs closed very early, so people went to sleep very early. Coming from Spain, most people don't end the night until after 3 am, but I think this had more to do with the city than the actual hostel. Would definitely recommend this hostel to friends.

Stefan, Switzerland says:

perfectly located, clean, sympathetic! Irritating however that you are charged for the same service (10 bed dorm) 14 € through Internet-booking and 21 € when just walking in.

Iris, Germany says:

Super Lage, weil man mitten im Kneipenviertel ist, aber halt auch sehr laut. Ansonsten kenn ich bessere, aber auch schlechtere Hostels. War ok.

VALENTINA, Italy says:

My stay there was very short(just one night!)..anyway I had a lovely and nice impression of Barnacles..

Silvia, Italy says:

Abbiamo prenotato per 4 persone ma quando siamo arrivati la notte c'erano solo piu tre letti liberi. Lo staff pero' e' stato molto gentile e ci e' stata data un'atra camera. Un po' di disorganizzazione ma nel complesso sufficiente.
