Clean, great kitchen and good staff. Well maintained.

Location is great for backpackers and hikers. And for discovering Enniskerry and the surrounds but challenging for drivers on narrow roads.

Modern hostel with the best view in Ireland. Comfortable bed, good shower and Breakfast. Plenty parking also. Thanks for the "later" checkin..

- Really friendly staff - Comfortable bed - Clean facilities

- The location is a bit tricky to navigate to - Room felt a bit hot

Great place to stay . Right off the Wicklow Way . Great Manager,a younger Italian woman who is very helpful.

Location

No hot breakfast, not even a boiled egg

Spacious room, comfortable beds, shared kitchen with a fridge, kettle, microwave, lovely view, outside seating area. Ok for one night.

Quite pricey for a hostel, one of the most expensive accommodation on our 6 days walk on the Wicklow Way, at least breakfast could be included, that's extra for 9 euro. There's nothing to buy nearby but we knew that so we brought our own food and drinks.

Great location, staff and very clean.

Strange for a hostel that there were no designated bunks etc bed 1 bed 2. Also no lockers for storage. And no shelves for the beds. No outlets either for each bed. Very strange. Also extremely uncomfortable mattress but comfy bedding.

Comfortable dorm and clean bathroom, well aired Within 10 min drive of a good hike trailhead

C.10 min drive off the main road down a tricky enough narrow road. Not immediately next to any hiking trailhead

The location is beautiful and just off the Wicklow Way. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Staff is super nice.

The only downside of this location is that there is very little in food options. Bring your own food or you'll be eating instant ramen. Town is a 5.5 km walk (each way).

Beautiful location. Fabulous view from the hostel. Our room was spotlessly clean as was the kitchen and the rest of the hostel. Lovely hot shower. Kids really enjoyed the board games.

The mattresses were very ‘solid’ and a little too hard, not comfy for us

Nice and clean hostel. I was in one of the so called Glamping tent. Confortable. All facilities of the hostel to be used... and such a quiet place...

I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm. The room as well as the shared bathroom w/ showers were always clean. I stayed four nights (Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu) in July and the dorm was never fully booked / the last night I had even been alone in the dorm. At no time at had the impression the place was overcrowded. There was space in the fridge as well as on the shelf to store my food and I could prepare and eat my meals with no hassle. There were three ovens (although one broke down while I stayed there) and two microwaves. Hot water for coffee/tea was available at all times. The location is naturally quiet and for hikers a wonderful area to just head out walking in any direction. It's safest though to stay on marked paths or even better on the well maintained Wicklow Way.

The acoustics in the dorm was extremely bad - especially when someone sitting/lying on the upper bunkbed was talking, it was extremely loud and it echoed... And the door to the room would fall shut with a loud bang which each new roommates would have to learn first to avoid it - although some didn't seem to care and so there was a lot of banging... Also the walls were rather thin and so you could hear the male guests partying in their dorm next-door. Plus the window looked out to the parking lot where people were having conversations (and were smoking?) until late. Mind to go grocery shopping before heading to the hostel which is quite remote!
