Nous avons apprécié de dormir sous la tente avec tout le confort matériel à proximité.
Le côté auberge de jeunesse dans la simplicité

I really liked the breakfast. The staff we're excellent and very friendly. I loved the the área, the lake and the mountains.
The bed was a little bit hard but nothing other than that.

Stunning location, excellent free breakfast, very clean, good facilities. Kitchen was well equipped and big. Staff not super friendly but pleasant enough.
Radiator came on overnight, in an 8 person dorm in July, so the room was stifling. As usual can feel every movement of the other person in the bunk.

Location and price.
Communal areas spacious.
VERY TIGHT bunk bed quarters, especially with 6 people 😳

Perfect location, friendly staff, nice and clean rooms with good breakfast.
The only small negative thing for me were cobwebs and spiders in the room above my head. It's truly a pain for someone with arachnophobia, but that's my personal problem. So nothing was really wrong :)

Prejudice against foreigners. They scratched the car and did not compensate in any way and did not contribute to the compensation of damage.

Friendly professional staff. lovely location. Nice free/inclusive breakfast. One thing that could make your hostel even better is a drying room with a heater/dehumidifier for those of us coming in with wet outdoor gear from the mountains and ocean.
Nothing about your hostel was worth complaining about, so I won't. Great spot. It is brilliant that this hostel has re-opened.

Location X 3! Best point for a hike up Ben Lettery where the views are spectacular. Parking available for free on site, easy to find with GPS mapping, “no noise” bunk beds were comfortable, kitchen fully stocked, a basic breakfast was also available, wifi worked well and showers had hot water.
Bugs biting me in the evening at the seating area out front, but that’s part of the experience, I guess!

Beautiful place. Friendly people.

The location is magnificent. In the heart of Connemara. You wake up with a view on the lake and mountain whilst sheeps walk around the premises. It comes with a home-made breakfast and all facilities feel really new and modern. The pictures do not do the hostel justice in my opinion. Most idyllic place I've stayed along the entire Wild Atlantic way.

Location was very suggestive, in the middle of Connemara’s countryside. I liked the fact that it was in the middle of nowhere but still close to town.
Bathrooms were super clean!
The room was so small that we barely couldn’t fit whit all the lagguage. I have booked a quadruple room for me and my two friends and we were struggling with space (we were just 3 in a room for 4 people). I don’t know how people who don’t know each other can stay in such a small room. We didn’t have any place to put our phone or personal belongings close to the bed, also the dorm room door was hard to open and close with the key.
Also, the owners seems not to like us, for some sort of reason I haven’t felt very welcome (sorry to say it but it’s my perception).
4.3
The hosts were super friendly and approachable. The place was clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. Internet worked well. The view in the morning is breathtaking. Complementary breakfast is a nice touch. Would have gladly stayed longer.
It was a bit cold. I recommend bringing a good sweater if you get cold easily.
4.3
Can't fault this place. Well thought out and comfortable trekkers hostel, with knowledgeable and welcoming staff, set in a perfect location.
4.3
What to say, value for many 6 stars! It's clean, plants of hot water, very nice staff, nice kitchen and eating area.. possible not a great location for those with no car , but on another side, it's just at the bottom of the 12 Bens!! I love it and recommend it!
