The Apache Hostel

Dublin

Simple convenient clean accommodation. Room 16 on the 1st floor. 6 double rooms with 3 shared bathrooms. Kettle, microwave and toaster in the hallway. Room was massive and had a wardrobe. Bed was old and not great. Wifi was very good. Heater was electric and made the room warm as the sache windows were loose and the wind blew through. There were wooden shutters which made it very dark. Lots of seagulls which are very loud and active at dawn. Earplugs are a good idea. 
All in all a cheap place for a night or two.

Simple clean central accommodation

Stayed overnight at the Apache Hostel and it was great. Prime location right near to the Temple Bar. Private double room was warm and cosy. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lots of bathrooms and very secure. 

Great spot for a great price 

Worst hostel I've stayed in. And I've backpacked through Europe.   Bed was just springs that collapse under you no padding and no support.  Worst anything I've ever stayed in.  Much better options in Dublin... on the plus side the bathrooms did look freshly clean. 

Ever wonder what the almost worst rated place in a city was like? 

I GOT ROBBED 
A person from the outside was after gaining access to the hostel and they are fusing to take any kind of responsibility..
This is the security faults in the hostel.
1. Not letting customers know you need to lock the bedroom manual on entering or exiting the rooms.
2. The main door was faulty so wasn't closing correctly after exiting the building ( which is the responsibility of the hostel to ensure that it was) 
3. The door between the main door and room 5 which had a code was never closed by anyone especially any staff so customers where not aware if it was working or not. Again the hostel responsibility.  
4. As on the camera it clearly shows the intruder picked up the keys that was on the information desk ( which one of them was for room 5 as a customer checkout).. the keys should be dropped into a checkout locked box which is not in place . It's the responsibility of the hostel again for this security error. 
The 4 reasons listed above put your accommodation at fault for what happened . 
At this stage if they are refusing to refund any of my stay for the 4 nights even though I only stayed 3 plus not willing to accept responsibility for your mistakes/errors and compensation my lost . They keep telling to contact booking.com or Agoda in trying to get this resolved.. but nothing is coming from it as the companies have informed me that the hostel is taking no responsibility. this is now in Apache Hostel hands to correct there business mistakes and deal with me.  

DANGER - NOT SAFE

its an old building, so dont expect modern looks. yes its dated, but that doesnt bother us. the floors were wore out, but were in the process of repairing. the mattress needs replacing. it was hard and wore out. but if you want location location at an affordable price. this is the place. the bathrooms during our visit were always clean. we did bring our own chlorox wipes and rubber gloves. just for our own piece of mind. im sure giving its prices, you do have some drunken people staying there that might not be tidy. but we did not have that problem. we did buy ear plugs and the noisy streets did not bother us. the front desk worker was awesome and allowed us to check in early and leave our bags for a few hours when we checked out. we will be back there in 4 days and stay there again. i would recommend if your used to staying 3 star cuba style resorts. we are, and it was great.

I would return, i would recommend.

A double room in temple bar for 34 euro.. how can you complain. It was clean and neat and i stayed in two rooms over two nights. The pics on here are not representive of now.. everything was fine. The ceilings are massive with old sash windows so it's cold if you dont turn the heating on in room. It's ryanair style but perfect for a budget traveller

Ryanair of hotels

The bed was very comfortable and the room more than adequate, with plenty storage space and tea provided. 

Check-in took only a couple of minutes, and the manageress was very prompt at resolving an issue of anti-social behaviour involving some drunk guests.

Great location on the edge of Temple Bar

Our room was clean and everything was good except the noise inside the hotel and outside. One nice thing is the location of hotel and the discount for food.
Staff was polite and helpful.
If you want pass one night there it's a good choice.

Apache hostel

The place is a bit dirty. Their hygiene levels are very low. However, the beds were comfy and the heaters in the rooms were very convenient. I liked that the bathrooms were individual private rooms. Shower was good quality. Breakfast was basic but very much appreciated...cornflakes and toast. Location was great, just a few steps from the heart of temple bar. Friendly staff. Kinda expensive though, for a budget hostel.

As budget as it gets

Absolutely disgusting accommodation. Check in wasn't till 2 so we carried our backpacks around Dublin until 2.15 when we arrived. On first appearances, this seemed like the average budget hostel. Located above a pizza shop. Fine. We assumed we would be able to check straight in as we arrived 15 mins after check in, but was kept waiting in the "lounge" area, which stunk of sick. Someone was fixing the locks on the door which isn't the best as far as first impressions go, and he was banging so loudly, we then had enough of sitting in this accommodation as we didn't have much time in Dublin and wanted to get back to the pub. Obviously. (I use the word accommodation loosely btw, mental institution would sum it up better) and got up to speak to someone about getting our keys, after being forced to be quite abrupt with them after being palmed off and told to wait several times, I told them we only have 2 days in Dublin so we would like the keys now, we got them, well. I wish we didn't, prepare yourselves for the horror that unfolded.

We got inside the room and I swear to god I would not even leave my dog in there. Freezing cold. Pubic hair all over the bathrooms. Faeces stains all over the walls. Wires hanging down the stairs which someone could quite easily trip and hang themselves on. Filth everywhere, and I mean everywhere windows floors the fridge had fluid in it that stunk and had clearly been there for some time. (Maybe raw meat juices) I mean it wouldn't surprise me. There are so many more things that are wrong with this hostel but I've just listed a few there. 

I honestly don't know how this is still a running business  and hasn't been closed down yet. Surely this time next year they will have been investigated and found to have unfit habitable conditions.
