The Apache Hostel

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : This hostel is horrible - if youre a woman traveling to Dublin and want a cheap place to stay - please put your safety first and do not stay here. My friend and I were the only women in the entire hostel, and I woke up in the morning to find a man naked in the hallway, clearly sporting some sort of bondage/bdsm gear. Not cool at all. The location is lively (meaning people are outside screaming and laughing all night), and the facilities are very poor. The entire hostel is decorated with a Native American theme, hence the name, which is very offensive as the women sporting traditional gear in the several murals are clearly white. Further, the bunk beds were creaky and held together by a piece of rope. The whole experience was a nightmare.

  : The location was good (close to Temple Bar area) but that was about it. Staff were friendly and you could keep your luggage at the reception after check out for free. There were 2 coat hangers in the room. It was a secure building with multiple locked doors/coded doors to get through. Heater was warm.
  : It was a grim place, very basic and dated. The cleanliness of the bathroom was questionable and it felt icky. It was very noisy as well.

  : We left after seeing the property. We have a lot of experience with hostels and this was not adequately safe or well managed. Pictures are not an accurate representation.
  : Did not like the property. It did not feel safe. Seemed catered towards folks needing cheap/immediate shelter. Did not have a fun or welcoming atmosphere like most travel hostels. Did not have basic safety things like luggage lockers or curtains. Felt unsafe leaving our items in the room and left the property without staying the night due to it feeling really off. We were accused of stealing keys after leaving despite leaving keys on the check out counter with a card containing our name.

Disappointing

  : great location very easy going staff and check in and out!
  : no window in my room and no bathroom close by or attached to room unfortunately the hostel could use some attention i think, not really a hostel at all just a bed to sleep in.

  : Location is excellent. Hostel is peaceful, guests respectful.
  : The kettle was full of muddy water. We avoided using that one!The showers were ok, with minimum pressure, so taking a shower was time consuming. Theres no room to sit and dine in the facility.
