Nothing at all. A very bad, unsafe, and terrible experience. 1. Unsanitary Initial Conditions: Upon arrival, the initial assigned bed was dirty and covered in stains (resembling bed bug marks). Reception moved me to a second room, but failed to log the transfer in their internal system. 2. Unlawful Locker Entry & Property Seizure: On my second day, while I was out of the hostel, staff forcibly broke open my locked keypad locker, cleared my bed, and shoved all my private belongings into a plastic bag. This included my official British passport, government ID cards, laptop, credit/debit cards, phone, and cash. No phone call or message was ever attempted before breaking into my locked storage. 3. Lost Belongings & Written Admission of Fault: During this unauthorized removal, personal items (my slippers, ~£15 value) were lost by staff and never recovered. Management subsequently admitted in writing that this occurred entirely due to their internal communication breakdown between reception and housekeeping. 4. Insulting Resolution: Despite admitting 100% fault for breaking my lock, seizing my passport, and losing my property, management refused to issue a full or partial refund for my €191.97 stay. Instead, they offered a 30% discount voucher for a future stay. I was forced to remain at the property solely because Dublin was completely sold out and no alternative accommodation was available on short notice. WARNING TO TRAVELERS: This hostel does not respect guest privacy, property, or basic safety regulations. If an internal computer error occurs on their end, staff will break into your locked storage and handle your cash, cards, and identity documents without hesitation. Avoid this property if you value your security.

I was disappointed by the breakfast(very limited and pricey options), but it's good for the price Very central location which is convenient I felt really nervous going in, because there are lots of reviews about this hostel struggling with bed bugs recently, which is concerning because most other places I've been(with more international traffic) handle that better than here does, but I luckily didn't see any cleanliness of some areas was questionable, but not awful

It's affordable, they try to keep it clean It smelled like it was after deratization in the room, which gave me a headache and I couldn't sleep. After staying in another double room I had really bad red marks from bed bug bites or something.

Very central, liked the pods, was worried about bed bugs from other reviews but checked and was fine, good kitchen. The cleaning staff were often busy cleaning and closed the bathrooms at peak times when they were needed so there were queues.

Nice bedding, close to downtown, staff is good at remedying any issues, good rates for area We found bed bugs on our second night. Staff was nice and gave us a second room but when I came back to return the original key, it was implied we brought the bed bugs with us even though this was the first stop of our trip.

The staff are nice and it felt clean. They have decent facilities, good for what we needed. Location is okay if you’re fine with a short walk. After my second night I woke up with bug bites all over my body. I emailed management and they didn’t respond so I’m not sure what’s being done about it (checking for bed bugs, etc.). We decided not to stay for our final night because of this. The staff was really apologetic and offered laundry tablets, but we just wanted to get going.

Não gostei de nada. Esse lugar deveria ser fechado. Lugar sujo, barulhento, pessoas andando e conversando nos corredores até de madrugada. Bichos na cama, estou toda picada de percevejos. Banheiro compartilhado mal iluminado, sujo, sem aquecimento.

The bed was fairly comfortable. Close to city centre. Cheap. Eating area with mini ovens and toasters. Also fridge you put stuff on at own risk. Cutlery cups and plates wich one needs to wash up by hand yourself. Read before I came that they've had bedbugs. I didn't see any myself but a girl in the hostel told there were bedbugs in a room on the women's floor at the time I was there. Came home today and did all the precautions for possible bedbugs exposure just in case..i can't afford to gamble on that. The shower has black mold. They clean the showers in early mornin so I woke up and almost shat my pants trying to locate a toilet on the house..I found one on the next floor up but there was a cleaning lady inside. I just went in anyway telling her I'd go on the floor if she didn't let me in. So she did thank god 😑 The whole place smelled like damp moldy wet clothes. Just musty. Thankfully no smell in our room but that's maybe cause the windows were open all day.

Even worse than the bedbugs in the all female dorm Leevin email customer service has left me feeling gaslighted. I keep showing them hostelworld's messages stating they do not get involved in refund between guests and the hostel, but Leevin hostel insists on waiting for a formal follow up from them which they just read they will never get.

Feedback for Leevin Hostel – Stay on the Night of June 17th I stayed at Leevin Hostel from the night of June 17th to June 18th, in Room 17, Bed 4, and unfortunately, I had a terrible experience due to a bedbug infestation. Throughout the night, I was bitten multiple times by bedbugs – small insects that hide in mattresses and bed frames, come out at night to bite, and then retreat again. I woke up with numerous bites all over my arms, legs, and feet. At first, I thought it might be something else, but I’ve dealt with bedbugs before and I recognise the signs. The bites were itchy, swollen, and painful, and are still causing discomfort days later. I have taken photos of the bite marks as proof, which I intend to share directly with the hostel team. The night was unbearable, and I could barely sleep. This was a serious health and hygiene issue. I strongly recommend that Room 17 and Bed 4 be inspected and treated immediately to avoid affecting other guests.

There was nothing enjoyable about this property. This property has bed bugs. Two friends and I were supposed to stay at this location for three nights however on the first night there were bed bugs and we decided to leave. The staff was not helpful in the slightest and were very hostile towards us after we reported the issue. The staff was not profession and swept the bed bug issue under the rug when we confronted them. I hope they have fixed this issue, however it felt like the staff were unphased by this problem and they did not inform the other guests in our rooms of this issue - which was also very concerning.

Tive que sair antes da acomodação, ocorreram diversos problemas e ninguém resolvia, o principal foi minha cama infestada de percevejos, isso é um descuido do hostel, além disso minha cama nao estava com a elétrica funcionando, banheiros imundos e todos estavam entupidos.

Grateful that we could tell the floor has been freshly mopped. As we were checking for bed bugs, we found dirt and debris from previous guests under the mattresses in our room. The men’s restroom was persistently dirty and the bed area was hot even though the window was open.

THERE WERE BED BUGS IN MY BED. when i asked for a refund because i slept 2 nights with BED BUGS the receptionist shrugged her shoulders. Absolutely disgusting. I want my money back. I had to stay another day in Dublin just to wash all of my stuff so I wouldn’t be a carrier. I’m so unbelievably disgusted. Letting yall know this means they don’t wash the sheets or inspect the beds when they clean the rooms.

Leevin Hostel is good. However, I was bitten by bedbugs and got really unsatisfied. Moreover, I found them walking around and other people related the same problem in my room. It was a nightmare. I texted them and explained the situation and they did not answer anything. I do not recommend this place. The staff is really friendly, but my skin is horrible now. I had to clean all my stuff in a different place, look for another hostel and find a doctor. They should solve this issue ASAP!

Localização próxima a paragem de autocarros Eu peguei bedbugs durante a estadia. O quarto que fiquei não era igual aos da fotografia do booking.
