This hostel is brilliant, I stayed here with two friends and the owner Gerard couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. He is really friendly and has extensive local knowledge of the area and of the music sessions in the village. We even had a couple of tunes together! Just after we arrived he was giving Irish dancing lessons in... More

After a mix up with busses, we arrived here a day late and were the only people here (off season). The owner could not do more for us, offering tea, toast, all linen, breakfast and even cabbages from his garden. He is a true local with a big heart. We were in a private room and thoroughly impressed with the... More

My friend Elena and I stayed here for one night during our trip in the countryside of West Ireland and we had a great time. Our room was spacious (we opted for a double bedroom with another bunk-bed and had no other people to share it with, so plenty of space) and clean, the bathroom and the kitchen were also... More

This was my first hostel I have ever been to, and I was under the impression it would be an uncomfortable and dirty place, somewhere to sleep and nothing else, but I was very very wrong. My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights at the very beginning of our trip (she is from England and I'm from the... More

Was here for near a week in late April this year and found this a most convenient location to get right into the heart of Doolin's music (and experiencing The Burren in general - though a car is helpful for that). Gerald is a great host, generous and willing to facilitate - even refusing to charge for some of the... More

All around satisfactory accommodations and convenient location in Doolin. Was there for music and Buddy couldn't have been more helpful. Also full of advice on other local sights. Buddy, the owner, is a fascinating, friendly host and adds real local flavor to your stay. Great local pubs and music just down the street. We have great memories.

Stayed here for the August bank holiday weekend with a friend. Had booked a double, but got "upgraded" to a 4 bed dorm for no extra cost. Gerard, the owner, is really helpful and really friendly. Couldn't do more for us, or anyone else there. Always on call. We heard he's a great man for a trad music session, but... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. Our visit happened to be during a slow time of the week, so we were the only ones there, but the owner, Gerald, kept us company and was very kind. The location is also ideal for the evenings. You're only a couple minutes walk to McDermott's, a cozy pub with live... More

We had a little car problems, so we came around 1am, but the owner was so nice and came all the way to give us key for the room, even though we stayed only for one night. Facilites were average, rooms could be bigger too. But everything works, cause you're in the village. We had a great look on the... More
