The beds were comfy and the location is excellent. The kitchen was pretty clean and there seemed to be plenty of equipment for use. The towel was a nice touch. However, this hostel was not the cleanest. The rooms didn’t feel especially clean (although the bedding did). The bathrooms were definitely not very clean. The sanitary bins were overflowing

Great price for short stay.

Mine was an overnight stay for business reasons. I knew I would not be spending much time at the property because of the business commitments so just needed somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep. The Maze suited my convenience perfectly. I booked a private room with shared bathroom facilities, which were spotless and convenient to my room.

With activities every night, it's a very social place, travelling alone means nothing here as you will meet people and have a great time. Note it is humid inside the rooms over summer.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was definately convenient for me. Great location. Suitable with my budget. Near Coles (World Square) and Paddys market. The kitchen was a also a plus for me, all essential utensils were available and I was able to cook my own meals. The shared toilets and showers, however, required more frequent cleaning, as did the bed linens. Lastly, the bustling street, alive with nightlife, blaring music, revving engines, and occasional blood-curdling screams, often jolted you out of a good night's sleep.
