Our Honest Take
From the Hostelpedia team. No BS, just real advice
Leevin Stay is the value-plus-beauty pick. The building is genuinely attractive (not something you say about most hostels), and at €18/night it's tied for the cheapest in Dublin. The showers are unexpectedly good (travelers notice bad showers before anything else), and the grocery store next door means self-catering is effortless. The Mountjoy Street location is the main compromise: it's residential, 20 minutes from Temple Bar on foot, and the area can feel quiet. But bus connections are solid, and you're sleeping in a nicer building than most people staying in central hostels. The game room keeps things social inside. Compared to Gardiner House at the same price, Leevin has a prettier building but no chapel room or breakfast.
🎯 Insider Tips
- 1The grocery store 50 meters away makes self-catering a no-brainer. Buy lunch supplies there.
- 2Multiple bus routes on Mountjoy Street get you to O'Connell Street in 10 minutes.
- 3Ask about the airport shuttle if you have an early flight. Cheaper than a taxi, more reliable than the night bus.
- 4Parnell Street (10 min walk) has Dublin's best Asian food corridor. Try a spice bag from any chipper.

📖 The Full Story
Leevin Stay occupies a beautiful building on Mountjoy Street, north of the city center. The architecture alone gives it character that purpose-built hostels can't match. Inside, the rooms are clean with comfortable beds that have privacy features, and the showers get consistently praised for hot water and good pressure.
The game room with ping-pong and the indoor play area make Leevin Stay more social than its location might suggest. Bar crawls run regularly, and the common areas foster a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. The kitchen is well-maintained, and a grocery store is literally 50 meters from the front door.
The airport shuttle service is a practical bonus, though the public bus is cheaper. Multiple bus stops nearby connect you to the city center in 10-15 minutes. The location on Mountjoy Street is residential and quieter than the Temple Bar area, which means better sleep but a 20-minute walk or short bus ride to the main sights.
At €18/night, Leevin Stay competes on value with Gardiner House. The building is more attractive, the game room is a nice touch, and 6,000+ reviews confirm reliability. It's a solid budget option for travelers who don't need to be in the thick of Temple Bar.
