After booking there I've usually not had a problem getting in, but I'm almost always there in the October/November time frame and it is less crowded. It's even cheaper if you get one of the larger dormitory rooms on the top floor, but they also have rooms for two or four that are more expensive but preferable for coulles or families. >You can also use the YH for the Internet and to cook meals while staying Internet connections at hostels are typically very very expensive. There is a very good cybercafe in the street (Winthrop?) that runs between Patrick St. and Oliver Plunkett St. about 100 yards from the Plunkett St. end walking away from the Post Office. They have a good number of machines and are open long hours. -dja
