I stayed in this hostel as part of a large group of college students and could not have been happier with the experience. The staff encouraged having a bit of craic and although we had every intention of cleaning up the next morning (I swear!) they beat us to the punch and had done all the work before we woke... More

First of all, it's a hostel, so don't expect a regal interior. If you can get over that and just want somewhere to stay overnight in Lahinch, this place fits the bill. Admittedly I went with a group of friends aged 18-20 so we made a long night of it, but we didn't need the lap of luxury to enjoy... More

Booking this hostel was a nightmare. Do NOT give out your credit card details to them over the phone. This hostel is badly run and unorganized. The hygiene levels are very poor with no hand soap provided in the shared bathrooms. The dorm was very cramped and not very clean. The staff were rude and disturbed our stay with constant... More

This hostel was not very clean (I found a coke-bottle under the bed), the linen feeld a little damp and the sitting area dounstairs was not comftable. The TV was always on and very loud. The kitchen wasn´t clean at all so we washed everything bevor we used it. I guess this is a hostel for joung guys going surfing.... More

I have stayed here a few times [whenever i wasn't invoved in picking the accomodation]. It's fine - a grand place to come with a group of friends. But I find the bedrooms and bathrooms VERY basic in comparison with a place i stayed last year the West Coast Lodge, which I thought was newer and fresher, and we had... More

We spent a night here while travelling up the west coast and were bitterly disappointed. The decor is old and musty and the place could really do with a clean. We were shown to our room where the linen clearly hadn't been changed since the last people were there, one of the beds even had someones wet surfing towel under... More

Fair enough the hostel is cheap but you get what you pay for. We got two dorms for 4 people each. tiny would not even come close to describing how small the rooms were. NO space to move, the bunks were so small that you couldn't even sit up in them. One of the rooms didn't even have plugs so... More

WIth the great weather decided to head to Lahinch for some surfing and pints. Wanted to keep it cheap so managed to book in here the week before. Located at the top of the town beside the church, it's very central and about 3 minutes from being in the water. Stayed in a 4 bed room, very clean, bit small,... More

We landed into the middle of what looked like a fully fledged teenage disco, complete with screaming teenage girls in mini dresses and botttles of beer and alcohol everywhere - even the guy checking us in was drinking a bottle of beer. In the 10 minutes we were in our room, our door was banged on and the shouting and... More
