Staff was really helpful and friendly.

My door’s room didn’t lock and the room was very basic.

Location

Nothing

They provided a free simple breakfast, the shared kitchen was quite well equipped, and they offered water, tea and coffee for the guests.

It wasn't easy to find. Also, even though we booked a private room for 2, it had bunk beds, and the shower in our room didn't work. Fortunately, they were able to change our room.

Location beautiful, I add photo with view from window, amazing place to stay for long weekend or even longer.

Location

The shower in our room wasn’t working

No wifi, payment, lamp in room not working

Friendly check in.

Starting from basic things: the room was not cleaned, stains and dropped pills on the carpet, we had to desinfect the bathroom before touching anything ourselves how dirty it was. All facilities old, stained. Take your own towels. No sound isolation at all, you can clearly hear people talking in another floor. For the price paid- it was a total rip off, we just rushed to leave. Such a nice location, with a little care and refurbishment this place could be amazing...

Location is fantastic and really made the trip. Little bit of breakfast laid out in morning, not seen this in a hostel before. Pool table is good. Kitchen and fridge facilities ok. The one staff member we seen for our whole time was helpful. Seemed to be running the place by himself.

I can only be honest. Very dirty, dead insects all around the windows, shower was horrendous in the room. Water was trickling out. Impossible to have a proper shower, especially with a 3 year old. Place completely run down, which is a shame as the location is fantastic. Even a bit of fresh paint. Doors falling apart around the building. Walls like paper in rooms. Could hear everything. Every time someone closed a door and locked it in the rooms close by it was so loud.

Amazing place, staff was very kind and helpful

Hostel location is wonderful, surrounded by mountains and lake. The host/caretaker - Steven is amazing person to help with everything. Place is very quite and well maintained. Highly recommend this place to relax and chill.

Excellent location and staff

Lovely hostel, staff very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Very clean hostel.

Minor inconvenience - No shower curtain so the bathroom got very wet.

Very nice atmosphere, because of receptionist. Very friendly guy, did his job very well, he was very nice to clients. We got advice where to go and what to see.

Cleanliness of facilities: room and especially shower was dirty.

The staff was really friendly. Flexible check-in and out hours. Great location. Affordable. It's a simple place, perfect for people wanting to sleep and wake up to go explore Connemara.

The room was very humid and no circulation of air. Windows couldn't be open because outside is infested with mosquitoes. The interior is a bit outdated and we couldn't get access to the Internet in our rooms.

One staff member only but in fairness he was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating and helpful a really good lad

Outdated, dirty and in bad need of refurbishment, nothing like the pictures portray

The location is the best thing about the place. Right next to the fjord and central to drive to all placed ( abbey castle, towns). Also next to the adventure co. The place is quite old and since its a hostel dont expect too much. The price is for the location. Make sure you bring you own clean water for washing your face and brush teeth.

Staff friendliness (despite lack of effectiveness in keeping guests silent at night)

A lot of unruly guests, making noise up to 2am and no action from the staff. Infestation of mosquitoes was also a really bad one. Overall, the hostel is also a little bit run down, tall grass etc. Part of the buildings look abandoned.

Hi, this is a fantastic place with a great location. The owner is a lovely person!! Thank you for everything. It is a bit old school place but hey mind the price. The view is magnificent!

Couldn’t find a thing to like

Water makes you sick so could not shower. CheckIn takes staff 20min per booking so had to wait 1 hour before getting access to a toilet. No enforcement of Covid distance for guest meaning be extra careful when trying to navigate property. They booked two large groups having parties onsite. First in same building running around in rooms and corridors till 1am. Second group in other building started a full on rave from 5pm to 4am with loud music and shouting all night. Main building has no sound proofing so you can hear conversations through floors. Got no sleep and charged €69 for that with no towels. Complete rip off. Will be asking YHA to reconsider listing them. A tent in a car park would have more facilities and be quieter. Am not picky as slept tents on Everest and jungles in Thailand CostaRica. Also backpacked across Egypt and Australia. Was completely shocked at how bad this place was. Staff fully aware of noise and other issues but laughed them off.

The staff is very helpful and friendly! The highlight for me is the TV room with it's nice fire place. You don't need TV if you have this. The hostel offers a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Go there and enjoy!
