The Hostelz.com Review
Strandhill Hostel is located on the very scenic Shore Road. It's located across the street from the town's two very nice pubs and restaurants, and just down the street from the amusement arcades that are open in the summer. It's just steps from the ocean and a short walk to Celtic Seaweed baths and steam rooms.
The hostel itself is a warm inviting place. You come in through the large kitchen and are greeted by the hostel cat that goes back and forth between the hostel and the hostel owner's house next door. There is a nice reception area and a large comfortable tv lounge. The rooms are very, very small, but clean and bright. There are several ladies and gents toilets and separate showers. The shower on the first level is interesting because it is just in a closet-type room with a washing machine in it without a shower curtain. You can do your wash there, however you must go next door and ask the owner to use the dryer. The only complaint was an unbelievable amount of mildew that they had obviously tried to paint over, but in Ireland's wet environment were not able to stop it.

Excellent! Excellent stay, very friendly staff running the hostel, very clean. Nice hot showers in the morning, and only one hundred metres walk to the beach. Two great pubs over the road! Will be back for sure! — Linden Hannah , New Zealand (2008-04-04) We had an extremely small room but all we needed was a bed in which to sleep anyway. The kitchen was not so clean. Night revellers didn't clean up after themselves for the breakfast crew. The resident cat was a sweetie. We did meet some very nice people so that made it an enjoyable stay. — Donna Harris, Don Runge (2006-07-19)
