    All good, no complaints at all! Everyone was very friendly and interesting, and we met new people from different continents, all sharing food and conversation.

    Great location near the river and close to hotel Doolin, short walk from pubs and restaurants, bus stop. Room was cosy but adequate for one night with own ensuite. Hostess Adva very welcoming and helpful. Wonderful well-equipped kitchen with 3 cookers and 2 sinks!

    It all turned out okay in the end but I think it's a good heads up for travelers that this property has a more strict check-in deadline (I think it was 8pm). I did notify them that I would be later than that (had to drive several hours) but there is only a very small staff and they had already gone home by the time I arrived and had to come back.

    Very cozy and charming place! I was comfortable and loved being within walking distance of several pubs and the Cliffs of Moher walk.

    Nothing that I can think of.

    We spent one night en route to Glasgow. This is primarily a Hostel for campers or trekking people. The Location is great, close to restaurants and stores. Rooms are small but comfortable, same as the shower. They don't serve breakfast, but you have an area where you can prepare your breakfast. If you don't have the ingredients for it, you can take from them anything you need, but you will be charged. Coffee, eggs, ham, etc.

    Essentially no brekfast - better bring your own. Tiny room, could bearly stand there with two and it had three beds. Only two power outlets in the room, one of which was a bit unreliable.

    Nice location, kitchen with all you need. Common area is fine. Comfortable beds.

    It would be nice to have more space for storing your private stuff in the rooms.

    The staff was kind and helpful. The shared rooms are big and you can also get a small breakfast there. The location is very good and close to some pubs.

    To provide toileteries in the private bathroom.

    Located just beside a river. very nice place. walking distance to pub. most of the eating place around close at 8pm. We had a rom that can fit 4 persons with a double bed and a bunk bed with attached bathroom but only 2 of us staying in the room. The room is pretty small, it will be difficult if you have big / more luggage for 4 persons. There are a few parking lots at the back of the hostel.

    The beds and pillows were most definitely past their expiration date. They advertise laundry facilities but they come with restrictions which even if you follow, still didn't work out for us. Would recommend not expecting to use these at all.

    Beautiful location, and it was quiet and peaceful. It was good value for money for a hostel which was clean.
