Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, easy walking distance to pubs with live music but quiet and peaceful, with beautiful views. Lovely welcoming staff, the room was simple but large as was the bathroom. Plenty of space for luggage. Fresh milk in mini fridge for tea and coffee was a nice touch and the room was refreshed and restocked while we were out.

    This place is like Youth hostel- shared kitchen and dinig/living room. Basic facilities . But the location is excellet and staff helpfull. The main adavantage is its location on river bank at the very start of Moher cliff walk.

    Very friendly staff. Although we arranged everything contact less, we felt card for and safe. They went above and beyond and we knew we could call on them for anything. The room was so nice I wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful views from the windows very relaxing. great location, very central!
