Hostel The Bluestack Centre
Letterbarrow, Drimarone, Donegal, Ireland – Good location – show map
Very comfortable bed. Private bathroom. Very clean!
IrelandGreat welcome from staff on duty - got some good tips on how to access the Bluestacks
IrelandBrilliant staff, spotless clean. We stayed for the food festival with our 5 Yr old who loved the attached park and great space inside the hostel. Highly recommended. Thank you Bluestack for a very affordable, family friendly stay👍👍👍
IrelandRoomy and well equipped kitchen and dining room. Nice location close to Donegal. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value for money. Good wifi connection and free parking. The beds are confortable even if the head space is too small in the lower bed.
FranceIt's a nice hostel, very clean rooms, friendly staff, location was ok, it was a bit of a drive to Donegal but it is a hostel for hikers so for them it's probably a great location.
GermanyNice room, easy getting contact to others, direct in the nature, cozy beds, enough space in the dorm, very nice and friendly persons in the hostel
GermanyGreat place altogether. I arrived by bicycle and was allowed to keep it inside for the night (which means a lot to me!). The staff were lovely, the lady who checked me in went to great lengths to help me with possible cycle routes in those amazing Blue Stacks. That location of the hostel, right in the Blue Stacks, is something else - amazingly quiet, peaceful, and inspiring to look out at. Facilities were top class - kitchen has everything needed, clean toilets, warm showers, warm bed, nice snug room in the attic to rest in. Bonus points for the relaxing patter of rainfall on the roof. You can get away from all stress here.
IrelandThe facilities were excellent, staff were very friendly and accommodating. There's a great, well equipped kitchen and the place is excellent value in stunning surroundings

FranceGreat place to stay if you want somewhere out of the way. Quiet, picturesque location, warm and clean, and brand new matresses. Full kitchen with everything you need. Amazing value for money.
