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

    Clean, great kitchen and good staff. Well maintained.

    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.

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

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

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

    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).

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

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

    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.

    One of the nicer hostels, especially for its location
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 8-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    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!

    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.

    Make sure to bring your own food for dinner if you’re hiking, there’s nothing nearby

    Right along the Wicklow way. Well maintained and pretty clean, and has drinks and snacks vending machines. Breakfast is 9 euro and fine.

    I would have liked more game boards or maybe a football table....

    Perfect for nature lovers and hikers. We went by car so not sure about the commuting but we saw a lot of busses. Silent place, superb view. Very good reception service.

    Fantastic hostel nestled in the Wicklow mountains. I ended extending my stay twice and stay 10 nights! Everyone is extremely nice and friendly, the workaway people do a great job at looking after the place and the whole vibe is really chilled and friendly. Really one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at
