The Coolest Place I've Stayed Every room is themed from different parts of the world, the facilities are clean, and you get a hot breakfast. Plus the place is huge with a ton of character. What more could you ask for?

Having visited hostels all over Ireland I must say that this hostel is a gem. In the last couple of years the hostel has been almost completely renovated and now has outside covered decking overlooking the courtyard -- warmed by an outside fire that serves to keep the midges at bay and has the advantage of allowing you smoke in comfort (a rare experience in Ireland now). If you're looking to chill out, this is the place. Relaxed athmosphere, plenty of books and quirky features it's a place that is difficult to leave. This hostel just keeps getting better but the excellent restaurant isn't open as often as it should be.
