The Hostelz.com Review

Doolin is a very small village so wherever you stay will be close to the few pubs available. Doolin is said to be the home of Irish music and the pubs are all very welcoming to tourists with great music and craic. There is not a lot of accommodation in Doolin so it may be best to book ahead. There are no supermarkets in the area, if arriving late bring food to cook with you or just dine out.

This is a great little hostel that feels more like a family home than a hostel. The dorm rooms are quite small, with a skylight in some rooms that can be opened. It's great in the summer when the temperature gets quite warm, but it's recommended that you close them in the winter months. There is a great kitchen with a separate dining room, a fireplace in the main common room for when it gets cold and lots of comfy chairs to relax in.

I stayed in this hostel about 4/5 years ago, so perhaps things have changed, but I was surprised to see such high ratings. When I stayed here the place was clean enough but rather devoid of atmosphere. Hopefully it has improved since then.

Very cozy. This place has the best staff I met in Ireland. The beds are comfortable, very quiet, and Doolin is a very nice village. You must stop here to enjoy the people, the ocean and the Fisher Street. I met the best people here.

Paddy's is the ideal place to stay if you are looking for a place where it feels like being at home. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are clean and private. Moreover, if you want to have some fun and meet new, young people, you will find this at Paddy's as well. The staff are great!

The only drawback to this place is the size of the dorm beds. The lower beds especially are not easy to get in. But otherwise, it's a great hostel.

Beautiful hosetl in a very cute village. Occasional traffic / people noise from outside but NOTHING compared to Dublin or another city. I stayed in a six-bed dorm with clean, crisp sheets and large duvets. Hall are pretty quiet, rooms are bright and cheerful. Kitchen and eating areas are spacious and sunny. Reception staff is friendly and courteous. The best part! The bus station is literally right across the road, so no hoofing your heavy bags long ways. Hostel is non-smoking, non-drinking, but with no curfew. Highly recommended if you get tired of city life.
