Just a 5-minute walk from Dublin’s lively Temple Bar entertainment district, this modern purpose-built hostel offers affordable accommodation within the very heart of the city. It specialises in group hostel accommodation for schools, universities and low-budget tours to Dublin.

We booked a private room with a double bed. The room was very clean and fresh, had all the necessities (except a hair dryer), and was very comfortable. The hostel facilities overall were very clean and with nice interior. The location of the hostel was also great for reaching various points of the city by foot (we stayed for 3 days and didn't use public transport once).

    Great location right in the centre of Copenhagen. Rooms were a good size - just what we needed for a short trip of sight seeing. Really comfy beds and lots of storage. Great for a group of friends. Hostel facilities were great - lockers, bar, gyms, etc.

    The location is perfect. I could walk to almost everywhere by foot. The neighborhood had a vivid nightlife as well, which I liked and I still felt safe. Dublin express stops also 2 minutes walk from the hostel.

    Great location, easy to find. Was very lucky to have the 4 bed ensuite hostel room by myself for the 2 nights which sways my review to the positive side. Checking in and out was easy and I felt safe. Gave it a somewhat high score because my own room made my personal experience nicer.

    The property is very well located, near downtown Dublin. The staff was very friendly and my reservation and bed were ready when I arrived. Email communications were excellent and very helpful. The beds in my dormitory were new and super comfortable with super clean bed sheets and a lovely comforter. each bed has its curtain so that you do have privacy. Irish Breakfast was delicious and it was £7.50 a good value. Overall I highly recommend Leevin Hostel George to budget travellers who value a good deal.

    This is honestly the best hostel I have ever stayed at. The bed was warm and comfy in a clean room and I felt safe. The bathrooms were clean despite the fact that there were a lot of people using it. There was a fantastic kitchen.breakfast and area to just hang and charge phones. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

    Was last minute sort of hotel and cheapest to my budget and have to say I really enjoyed my stay the room was clean and tidy, it was in a great location. When coming back to Dublin again it is somewhere I would look into staying instead of the chain hotels. Found the location quite good being about 5 minutes away from St Stephens Green. And if you didn't want to walk the Luas drops off near the hotel

    One of the best hostels i stayed. It was always clean, the staff is really helpful and approachable and most importantly, you feel safe, and due to the pod beds, you have a lot of privacy.
