We didn't realize there would be 0 towels in the room with getting one for 2 Euro each. Also, parking lot was way too small.

They make an appreciated effort to help with parking and the lady at the front desk was very kind. On the minus side the room lacks power outlets, the shower lacks shelves or anything you can use to put your shampoo on, and other guests in the room were loud and inconsiderate.

Total dreckiges Zimmer. Einfach ekelhaft der versiffte Teppichboden. Bad war sicher schon ewig nicht mehr geputzt. Und das FrĂŒhstĂŒck hat den Namen nicht mal annĂ€hernd verdient. NICHT ZU EMPFEHLEN

Everything was simply perfect. It was one of the best hostels on my journey along the west coast of Ireland. Very cozy and clean bedroom, helpful staff, breakfast including good coffee, good price.

We stayed at 6 different locations and places all over Ireland and this was the only one that I would NOT recommend. I will try and add photos from my phone, but this was bad. I booked a 4-bed for myself and my daughter (the only option available) and considering that this place is almost brand-new our room was in a pitiful condition and the bathroom dirty. The front desk never volunteered any information you specifically had to ask for everything. The air in the room was very (!) hot and stuffy and even leaving the window open for 3 full days brought little relief. Even after requesting the bathroom to be cleaned nothing happened and the breakfast is a joke. For backpackers in dorms it may be ok due to the cheap price but for us it really wasn't cheap. The rooms are more than just basic - there literally is nothing but the beds and the outlets. No hangers, no shelves, tables... nothing. Not even a picture on the wall. The first time that I ever have stayed at a place where even my relatively low expectations have been undercut - I consider a hostel / hotel mainly a place to sleep and don't need any fancy stuff but I can not recommend anyone to choose this place. There are many B&Bs and other places to stay at and those are closer to downtown too.

Friendly receptionist. The entrance was felt to be a little bit far from parking place when it's rainy.

MeitÀ oli matkassa 10 hengen porukka ja yövyimme kolmessa huoneessa. Yleinen tunnelma oli hyvÀ, hostelli oli rauhallisella paikalla ja huoneet siistissÀ kunnossa. Henkilökunta oli ystÀvÀllistÀ ja valmista neuvomaan. Kuitenkin pieniÀ valituksia tuli, esim. yhden huoneen wc ei vetÀnyt hyvin ja aamupalalla leivÀt, murot, maito ja kahvi loppuivat kesken. Eniten hÀmmennystÀ herÀtti se, ettÀ nÀhtÀvÀsti jokaisen olisi pitÀnyt itse tiskata kÀsin aamupala-astiansa, minkÀ koimme aika epÀhygieeniseksi. Nyt astiat oli kaikki kÀytetty kun viimeiset meistÀ tulivat aamupalalle, ei mukavaa sekÀÀn.

AprĂšs une certaine attente pour l'enregistrement nous avons reçu les clĂ©s pour une chambre qui ne ne correspondait pas Ă  notre rĂ©servation. Nous avions rĂ©servĂ© une chambre pour trois avec un lit double et un lit superposĂ© et avons dĂ©couvert une chambre avec deux lits superposĂ©s. La rĂ©ceptionniste nous a proposĂ© de changer de chambre en indiquant que celle-ci avait une salle de bain amĂ©nagĂ©e pour les personnes Ă  mobilitĂ© rĂ©duite et disposait d'un Ă©vier plus petit. Souhaitant des lits conformes Ă  notre rĂ©servation nous avons acceptĂ©. Le lavabo Ă©tait plus que petit et il n'Ă©tait absolument pas adaptĂ© pour faire notre toilette. De plus la chambre n'Ă©tait prĂȘte donc il a fallu attendre. Le petit dĂ©jeuner Ă©tait compris dans la rĂ©servation. AprĂšs avoir saluĂ© une autre rĂ©ceptionniste (tĂȘte baissĂ©e sur son tĂ©lĂ©phone) le matin nous nous sommes dirigĂ©s dans la salle et il n'y avait rien Ă  manger Ă  part un reste de cĂ©rĂ©ales. Je suis alors allĂ©e demander Ă  la rĂ©ceptionniste qui m'a fait remarquer qu'il y avait de quoi manger (reste de cĂ©rĂ©ales). Elle a rempli les distributeurs et elle devait regarder pour du pain de mie mais j'attends encore... E passant devant la rĂ©ception pour retourner dans la chambre elle avait toujours la tĂȘte baissĂ©e sur son tĂ©lĂ©phone. Nous sommes trĂšs déçus d'avoir payĂ© 85€ pour une telle prestation.

Auberge de jeunesse trÚs bien localisée (2km Kilarney centre), avec supermarché en face. Super accueil ! Nous avions une chambre (calme) privative pour 4 avec petit déjeûner, les parties communes sont excentrées de la partie nuit. Inter-générationnel, trÚs sympa. Ressemble plus à un motel.
