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!

Excellent site! Highly recommended!

Where do I start? We LOVED the place! Super friendly staff, clean kitchen with access to everything, from gas stove to fridge, clean shower and toilets and a cozy sitting room with a lovely fire in the evenings and no extra costs. Also books, guitar and board games available.

Very cosy and friendly hostel free wifi. Free clothes washing. Kitchen clean and well stocked with utensils. Also free coffee and tea.

Amazing hostel & campingsite

Very friendly and helpful staff! Beautiful location. Super well equiped kitchen with everything you need and more. Above all an amazing atmosphere in and around the hostel with a nice fireplace in the living room, which is very welcoming in rainy Ireland. The only downside of this hostel is that the next one won't be as good. ;)

Stayed: August 2019

We stayed in the tipi tent

We stayed in the tipi tent and it was a great experience. The hostel is in a good location in case you want to grab some food in a cafe or pub in the evening. We had a nice 2 h walk from the hostel to Cliffs of Moher, but there is bus stop close buy as well. Simple nice breakfast is available in the morning.

10/10

Highly recommend this hostel with camping facility, which we used, international feel, clean, well run, cooking facility very spacious with free tea and coffee available, large spacious fridges and storage for food for self catering, filtered drinking water a plus. we had our dog with which is also a plus and she was very well behaved, another couple also had a dog with and also very well behaved.Stormy night with bad rain but its location inside a walled off garden meant we were safe and protected.

would definitely come again.

As someone who loves the outdoors, I was absolutely thrilled to be able to stay in the tipi tent for five days! The tent is located right on the river, which was incredible, and the facilities in the hostel building were easy to access. I had an amazing trip and would definitely come again.

It was glamping at its finest

The tipi was a perfect place to stay. It was a beautiful outdoor space with all of the hostel amenities. It was glamping at its finest. Our hostess was amazingly kind and gave us the suggestion to walk to the Cliffs of Moher. It was an hour and a half or more walk, and it was stunning the whole way! I would definitely recommend this experience!

Really nice Tipi tent on the grounds of a hostel...

beside the river which is really cool for the relaxing sound especially at night. Tipi is a bit bright at night due to surrounding lights so bring a travel/sleep eye mask if you need darkness to sleep. Hostel facilities are good and near the tipi. Location in Doolin is fantastic. Nice spot to stay.
