What People are saying
Amazing location

If you're looking for a bed to sleep in and a warm shower to use while you spend the rest of your time exploring all that Dublin has to offer, this place is perfect!
The price is really cheap, and you get what you pay for when it comes to the rooms. I wouldn't call the employees friendly or even hospitable, but they do their job.
Don't plan on getting a full nights sleep -- you can hear EVERYTHING going on in the streets below at every hour.
If you're coming to Dublin to enjoy the Temple Bar nightlife, the location is definitely worth the hotel's lack of charm. And there is a really great slice of pizza by the entrance to the hotel if you come back drunk and hungry.
Bottom line -- if you're a night owl looking to party at Temple Bar until the early morning, stay at Bridge House. Especially if you're a student/casual traveler and you're used to hostels -- you at least get your own room and bathroom at Bridge House!
If you're looking for a full nights sleep, aesthetic decor, and welcoming staff, do not book the Bridge House!
This hotel cancels your bookings!

Booked 9 months in advance for St Patricks day through hotels.com. Hotel cancelled several months later because of "problems with credit card" which is just a stupid excuse. Confirmed with Amex that there were no failed transactions, so they obviously just cancels the rooms booked at lower rates because of overbooking or selling the room to someone else at a higher rate. Many calls to hotels.com, but haven't sorted out the issue yet. My friends got their rooms cancelled as well, but because of "renovations". So they obviously do this systematically with different made up excuses.
BEEN OVERBOOKED 3 TIMES NOW!!!

I have stayed at this hotel lots of times in previous years, until the past year and always thought it was cheap and cheerful until now!! Me, my family and friends have booked this hotel 3 times this year and every time we have arrived at the hotel there has been some sort of ''Emergency'' or ''over booking'' situation. The hotel has then moved us to several accommodations in areas we did not want to stay in which were taxi rides away. How is this hotel getting away with doing this? Telling us the day before would have been better but the inconvenience they have caused us on each weekend is appalling. The reception staff are not even sympathetic of the situation and need to learn some manners!!!

We was really disappointed.
One day before our booked flight to Ireland Dublin, they cancelled the booking we did month ago in the evening!
Thy told us about problems with credit card.
(Credit card works at every other place on our journey!)
And our response three hours after we get this info was to late and they didn't have a room for us!
The first mail contains an offer to find a sollution.
But on our request if they can help to find an alternative we didn't get any answer.
In conlusion I can't say anything about the hostel itselve, but the handling with the customer is very sad!
