    The disco didn’t finish to 330am so it was noisy. The bed was bouncy. The room was very small so no room for luggage. There was no sink or mirror in the bathroom which meant we had to use the sink in the kitchenette to brush our teeth. I found this very unsatisfactory.

    Very clean room. Crisp and clean linen.

    Reception was awful. There was never anyone in the office and had to enquire at the bar for service - not easy on St Patrick's day! Difficult to get extra pillow. Motel room was clean but spartan even for this type of accommodation. A box ticked rather than a particularly great stay.

    We chose this place for the location, almost on the beach. It was cheap and cheerful like many motels.

    I didn't like that there was no air conditioner in the room.

    The location was excellent, close to the beach and pub. The room was what you would expect for a back packers room. The gentleman at the desk was very helpful.

    No aircon, but had a fan that cooled the room down a bit. We stayed on a Friday night and it was very loud with the busy bar next door. Wasn’t a problem for us but just keep that in mind.

    Location was prime. Right next to the beach and the pub. Very reasonably priced too.

    There are people that live there full time so the rooms are packed with their stuff. The rooms are pretty small so it made it hard to put my stuff somewhere. The bunk beds weren’t the best. Reeeeally need to have aircon in there- it was absolutely boiling in that room.

    Amazing location- path straight to the beach!! Great communal kitchen. Nice and clean. Good parking. Close to the pub.

    It was a bit noisy, people are literally always walking and chatting in front of your window. The kitchen was a chaos and it wasn't clean at all. There was no aircon.

    The area is nice, exactly next to the beach. A welcome drink was included and Frank was fantastic with the pick up and the drop off at the Bus station (which is actually pretty far from the place).

    As I read in other reviews, it is indeed very noisy. People setting of a fire alarm in the middle of the night. The vibes are a bit odd, not terrible, not great, just a bit weird. I think this place would either be fine for one night or just book a room with friends. I bet it's a great experience. I didn't like that there were no plugs near the beds. I feel like there's no one keeping everything in check.

    Very interesting location, nice to have a private bathroom (shared with roommates). The little fridge is nice and the parking spaces are also a bonus.

    Very very small rooms, untidy and not very clean. One bathroom on my room for 8 people. And just one publick for the entire hostel.

    Location, is right next to the beach. Price, and people that where staying there. Is next to a bar and bottleshop, they give you vouchers for discounts when you check in.

    The parking was annoying as people were not parking mindfully and made it awkward in an already confined space. It was also a bit annoying after a long drive having to haul luggage from one end to the other because someone had taken the park in front of my room instead of theirs or had friends over etc. Not sure if numbering spacer or tougher parking rules are possible?

    The location was amazing (a quiet part of the beach is just around the corner) and the food at the pub attached was great, as was its staff. Cleaning staff also were especially were so friendly, helpful and considerate.
