Gardiner House

staff is nice; very good location for the price. There were bed bugs.Besides this its very good.

Rooms very warm, only 1 pillow per bunk, bed bugs found!!

I stayed at this hostel recently and unfortunately experienced bed bug bites during my stay. I was able to confirm the issue by finding and killing one bed bug in the room. I immediately informed the staff and have attached photos as evidence. While I appreciate that such issues can occasionally happen in shared accommodations, I believe this is something future guests should be aware of. I hope the management takes the necessary measures to properly address and prevent this problem. I stayed at this hostel recently and unfortunately experienced bed bug bites during my stay.

Really nice rooms, it felt cozy and well designed. Perfect location and really nice staff! I came home and suddenly had all those itchy red bumps over my wrist, face and ankles - meaning, I got bitten by bed bugs during my stay here :( I really wanted to love this hostel, but this is a no-no. Apart from that, everything was great! So please fix this and don't let people stay in infested rooms!

The service of the employees was great; they were so nice. I liked how comfortable the bed was... until I woke up my last morning there with my arms and legs covered in bed bug bites. If you stay there, be diligent and check to make sure your bed does not have these. I think the hostel needs to do a better job of cleaning its sheets and comforters. There should not be bed bugs. I am very disappointed because before this, I believed this to be the best hostel I have ever stayed in. It has been the worst because of this.

Cet établissement est à fuir absolument. L'établissement est infesté de punaises de lit, ce qui a rendu mon séjour au sein de de celui-ci horrible. Je suis actuellement sous traitement à cause de cela. Malgré le signalement de la présence de punaises de lit au sein de l'établissement et les preuves des dégâts sur mon corps, l'établissement fait le mort et ne répond pas à mes messages. Le comble est à mettre au profit d'un des responsable de l'accueil qui a eu le culot de me sortir, mais vous êtes sûr que ce sont des punaises de lit ?! Après que je lui ai expliqué la situation, montré les preuves des dégâts sur mon corps, ainsi que le fait que l'agent de nettoyage à constater la présence de punaise de lit au sein de mon lit, et la relayé sur le groupe de l'établissement ce qui a entrainé mon changement de chambre. Mais quelle indignité, de la part de cette personne ! Qui plus est, le manager est visiblement inexistant au sein de l'établissement malgré ma demande de lui parler plusieurs jours différents pour obtenir un remboursement, que j'attend toujours d'ailleurs, il n'était jamais là. Je vais donc contacter le Health Service Executive (HSE) et signaler l'établissement pour que des contrôles soit effectués ce qui peut engendrer la fermeture de l'établissement en cas de découverte de punaises par les services agréés.

I shared a 4 bedroom dorm for a few nights, each of the beds are completely private and I liked the addition of small fans above the beds for the warmer nights. I decent complimentary breakfast is also included. I got really bad bed bug bites all over my body during my stay.

The price through Booking.com was really interesting. The rooms are so crowded. The staff was sometimes helpful, sometimes not at all. Some people of the staff were downright rude and were only nice if you did your dishes after eating breakfast. Other people of the staff were helpful to us and polite. My sister found crisps in her bed (right next to the mattress). Our sheets didn't really feel clean or new. My mom and I (sleeping in different rooms) both got bitten by bedbugs during our stay there. We would not return in the future.

Buena ubicación, está a 20 mins del centro andando. Desde el aeropuerto puedes coger un autobús por 2,60 que te deja en la misma calle del hostel. Elegimos este alojamiento por las buenas reseñas que tenia, pero mi estancia desgraciadamente fue poco agradable. La primera noche encontramos una chinche en nuestra cama y fuimos a recepción a pedir un cambio de habitación. Nos comentaron que no habían otras habitaciones disponibles y que irían a revisar y limpiar al completo nuestra habitación. Cuando volvimos la segunda noche, al levantar las sábanas, había otra chinche pegada al colchón, por lo que no habían limpiado ni revisado nada. Siguieron sin poder darnos otra habitación y tuvimos que pasar la noche ahí sabiendo que había chinches. Nos aconsejaron enviar un correo para ver que compensación podrían ofrecernos, aun seguimos esperando respuesta del alojamiento. La verdad que fue bastante decepcionante pasar así las dos únicas noches que estuvimos allí. No lo recomiendo y no volvería ya que fue muy desagradable para nosotras.
