the best hostel of the area!

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!

Camping de qyalite

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!

Brilliant Hostel on side of river
We stayed here for 3 nights and wish it could have been longer. We stumbled upon this place looking for a camp site. They were full but allow tents to use all Hostel facilities. This was ideal camping as everything required to cook was provided from free tea, coffee & milk to washing up liquid, tea towels fridges, nothing was missing. There were families and young people from all over and the atmosphere was friendly. Log fire was great for drying wet boots. Could not fault the place for the princely sum of 9 Euro each per night.

Ostello con posto tenda

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.

Très bel endroit

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

Accueil très chaleureux (après tout c'est l'Irlande), atmosphère détendue, conviviale...

Il y a une âme dans cette auberge, et cela se partage !
Avis aux routards : nous avons campé dans le jardin, c'était top !

Room Tip: Si vous avez une tente, le jardin est très confortable

Impeccable et sérieux
Dormi sous tente, le prix n'était pas élevé (9e / per), et le terrain bien entretenu. Accès à tous les services de l'auberge, gratuitement. Poele au "bog", très appréciable par jour de pluie (autant dire tout le temps). Petit dej correct pour 1,50e, accueil chaleureux, et site bien situé dans le village.

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 !

Perfect Rest Stop for the Night

We were travelling around Co. Clare, The Burren and Co. Galway on motorbikes. We were camping everywhere, but after visiting the Cliffs of Moher decided we were ready to camp for the night. We drove the short distance to Doolin and were delighted by Aille River Hostel.

We were able to camp in the grounds but avail of the amenities (such as roomy warm showers, toilets, kitchen etc). And even though it was May, the wood-burning stove was most welcome to sit in front of before settling down for the night.

Staff were superb, friendly and very helpful - would highly recommend.

A gem in Doolin

My husband and I spent a perfect night camping in the grounds of Aille River Hostel in Doolin and what a privilege that was!. The camp site was perfect...level, soft earth and beautifully sheltered by a stone wall. The hostel itself is one of the best I've visited...immaculately clean, piping hot showers, very friendly and welcoming staff and owner, a wonderful wood burning stove and large kitchen....unfortunately we could only stay one night but we will be back both to enjoy the physical space and to meet more interesting characters. the icing on the cake was the fact that Glenedd our dog was welcomed and other guests even played ball and threw the stick for him so all in all thank you Robert and staff for a hugely enjoyable experience in the magical Aille River Hostel.
