We stayed for 5 nights in the tipi which is for hire at the hostel and we loved it! It's the perfect compromise when travelling on budget but wishing for some comfort, too. The tipi is very comfortable and spacious, it has a double bed (!), two chairs and a little table. Pillows and warm blanket are provided and they kept us warm even on a colder night. It's very easy to forget you are sleeping in a tent so don't be surprised if it gets a little noisy at windy and rainy nights.
The hostel is great. We loved the kitchen - it's huge and very well equipped. Everything was comfy and clean and it's easy to make yourself at home there. The staff (Kelly and Heloise) are very friendly and helpful, too.
We found the location perfect as a base for trips to the Cliffs of Moher (8 km from the hostel, overall a 16km hike in a very manageable terrain), the Burren or the Aran Islands. We couldn't wish for a better place to stay while exploring the western coast.
Amazing place, the best hostel of the area! The living room with the fire and a cup of tea or coffee is really cosy. The friendly people; I had it cold and she gave me her hoodini; I had a little wound and they took care of it. The amazing kitchen where they have filtered drinking water. You can do your laundry for free and dry it for just €2. They serve breakfast for €1,5 and you have 3 options. It's a beautiful camping next to the river. We had such a great time over there! Thanks!
It is without hesitation the best hostel in our Irish journey! While the campground is a bit small but it is sheltered from the wind by stone wall, which is not insignificant in this windy area. Opportunity to visit the Cliffs of Moher the coastal path located steps. Common rooms (living room, dining room, kitchen ...) are a picturesque charm, peat fire and old stone floor. The inn offers a courtesy tea and coffee. The staff (speaking French to some) was very friendly and welcoming, even helping us to organize the rest of our trip with advice that we were very practical. Possibility of free use of the washing machine. Very good price / quality I highly recommend!
Peu cher, bonne place pour poser la tente, wifi douche et lave linge gratuit, à quelques pas du début des cliffs of Mohers et du centre ville.
La salle commune est chauffée au feu de bois, ce qui rend l'ambiance encore plus sympa!!!
On y retournera avec plaisir :)
A conseiller!
Ho scelto di soggiornare in questo ostello perché offriva la possibilità di piantare la tenda nel giardino. Quindi, non ho dormito in una delle camere, ma avevo comunque accesso a tutti i servizi, bagni, cucina e spazi comuni. Oltre ad essere collocato in una posizione davvero suggestiva (quasi idilliaca, sulla riva del fiume), ma anche comoda, rispetto al piccolo villaggio, l'ostello offre un ambiente accogliente, ospitale e caloroso.
Un'ottima soluzione per una vacanza in tenda, piuttosto dei campeggi (a Doolin ce ne sono ben due), che, in generale in Irlanda, ho personalmente trovato poco pratici e privi di molte comodità e servizi.
L'ostello offre anche la colazione, pagando un extra di euro 1,50: una salvezza per chi non ha portato con sé cibo e non vuole spendere molto, considerando che nel paesino non ci sono supermercati né piccoli negozi di alimentari.

Un hôtel qui propose un camping pour pas cher avec cuisine/douche/wifi gratuit c'est vraiment sympa pour s'arrêter et visiter les alentours.
Personnel sympa.
L'hôtel possède une pièce commune avec cheminée pour se réchauffer après de longue balade. Franchement je recommande
Il y a une âme dans cette auberge, et cela se partage !
Avis aux routards : nous avons campé dans le jardin, c'était top !
Prix tout à fait raisonnable (en tout cas pour le camping), une ambiance chaleureuse et accueillante, pour ceux qui recherchent une certaine autonomie tout en ayant accès à une convivialité très sympathique. Hôtel typique et bien situé, bravo !
