The hostel is in a top location, less than 10 minutes walk to the bus coach
GermanyNeeded bed for the night.. Great central location, clean, warm and quiet at night.. staff were lovely to deal with.. free tea & coffee.. ideal for what i wanted. would recommend
IrelandThe location was great. 5 Minute walk to the pubs and restaurants. Only a 10 minute walk to the docks for the Aran Island Ferry tour we booked. I liked the showers in each room compared to community showers for the whole floor to use that I've seen at other hostels. I also didn't have any WiFi issues during my stay which was a plus! They offered a pub crawl which was a great way to meet other travelers and I had such a fun time.
