Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It's absolutely beautiful and cozy. You can sit in a nice living room by the fire and they have a huge back yard with chickens. It's close to the city center and the bus station where bus coaches will drop you off. You can walk to Ross Castle in 40 minutes and into the Nationalpark. The rooms are big and you have privacy with curtains. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the two dogs are absolutely adorable. The showers and bathrooms are clean. Best hostel I ever stayed at.

    This was the best hostel I have ever been to 🥰. There is a big and well equipped kitchen where you can cook whatever you like. We loved the dogs and the great athmosphere there. You can also buy coffee there which is really delicious.

    Super friendly hostel that completely ruined any other hostel experience i might have in the future. I felt very welcome and safe, made so many friends and the staff was super helpful and gave really good recommendations on what to do in the area. Comfy rooms and shared spaces and an amazing breakfast, heaven on earth basically
