No problems, all’s good
There was no problems in booking my accomodation in Ireland for my up coming trip there. It was easy to use even for an old computer illiterate like me.

Hi Manoel, thank you for taking the time to reply and I am sorry for the confusion. I can assure you that you do still have a valid booking for your stay but the problem was caused by multiple bookings being made but only one payment. We have written to you separately to confirm the situation. Again apologies for confusion, Regards, Hostelling International.

I travel a lot and most of the time I chose to stay in Hostelling International. I meet a lot of people around the world.
The staffs are polite and friendly.
The room, some good some not but I would say that it's acceptable.
If you like to travel and meet more people with not much budget. Hostelling International is great.
