Good location for affordable price

This hostel was in a great location and much more affordable than anything else around. I would recommend the area.

The 10 bed mixed dorm is relatively tight. There is only wifi in the common area, not in your room. One restroom for 10 people. It was very basic.

Superb

Lovely staff, breakfast was included which was an unexpected bonus! Great location through an adventure centre and next to the water (down a small footpath).

I forgot to tell the staff that the main lights weren't working in the room or bathroom... wasn't a problem at all for us as there was a lamp and it's summer! (which is why I only remembered now..) but may need to be fixed...

Overall the stay was Good but not confortable

The location of the property is extremely good, but the room cleanliness isn't great. Need to improve on the frequency of cleaning the room and the bed spreads.

Could have got more parking space for the cars.

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.

Dissapointing

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 fantastic but hostel extremely run down

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.

Simple but pleasant

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.

Great location but dated place

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.

Lots of noise and mosquitoes

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.

Worst ever hostel of life to date.

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.

Hostel with a very warm and friendly atmosphere

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!
