HI - Knockree, Co Wicklow Hostel in Knockree … I practically live in Knockree. I know Steve and Trish like family. They are the hardest working wardens Knockree has EVER SEEN! My friends and I know the hostel and the area like the back of our hands! Knockree is a beautiful hostel and should be visited, as you truly will love it!
HI - Glendalough International YH Hostel in Glendalough … Fabulous hostel, friendly staff, very affordable, great food, friendly staff.
The Old Rectory in Wicklow … We were four ladies of a certain age hosteling for the first time. They made us feel most welcome. The hostel was very clean, and had good service. We would certainly recommend it.
HI - Ballinclea - Mountain Ventures Hostel in Donard … The staff and service was excellent. My fellow companions and I were very new to the Irish area and we were picked up from a rendezvous point outside of town because our bus didn't go directly to the hostel. We were told a bit about the area as well as great hiking options and were dropped off to our warm and comfy beds. The little town near the hostel has two great pubs with a pool table, television, and also quieter areas to drink lots of guinness! The hike up Church Mountain was exhilarating and very beautiful. Over all the experience was amazing and our trip profited from staying in the Mountain Ventures Hostel! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. This made for an extra and unexpected treat!
HI - Glendalough International YH Hostel in Glendalough … This place is a little pricey, but worth every penny! We stayed in a six-bed dorm and it was absolute luxury. The bed linens were crisp and clean, the curtains actually covered the windows, the shower was hot, and the location is perfect. Glendalough is absolutely beautiful and the hostel is the perfect place to crash after a long day hiking! We bought our own food at a corner store in Laragh and prepared it in the well-stocked kitchen. The staff were friendly, the building was very secure, and the backyard was pleasant.

HI - Knockree, Co Wicklow Hostel in Knockree … Its not where you go, it's who you go with and the fun you have!
Even if the place was a little odd and a tiny bit run down we had a class weekend! GREAT LAUGH! We did lots! Had our own kitchen and we had a BBQ and that was great! It's a bit of a walk to the bus but its all worth it for the fun you'll have down there!
HI - Knockree, Co Wicklow Hostel in Knockree … Hi my name is Rob. I'm 16 years old and I'm From Dublin. I've been visiting Knockree for many years now. The hostel itself is basic but brilliant! Over my years visiting the hostel I have came across some great and some ok wardens, but the greatest warden to take the hostel was Siobhan Vennibles. Siobhan and her partner Shane have kept a steady business at Knockree since September 2002. In all my time hostelling I have never met such devoted, inspirational people. They made it all worth while. Siobhan & Shane would be there... sadly Sibhan & Shane left Knockree Hostel in September 2003 after a year of endless work and devotion... And for that I say thank you! The Experience of Knockree has honestly changed my life!
The hostel is a wonderful building, great for those of you who like to feel at home. The hostel is handy and it's right on the world famous Wicklow Way. Well I could talk forever and a day about the hostel, but if you would like more of my first hand info on knockree…
HI - Glendalough International YH Hostel in Glendalough … When I was there, 1999, it was practically brand new. Very clean, very nice. Highly recommeded.
HI - Glendalough International YH Hostel in Glendalough … I've been here twice and loved every minute of it. Me and my friends had great craic and are coming again next month!!!
The Old Presbytery in Rathdrum … I loved spending time at the Old Presbytery -- except for the colour of the building, the whole atmosphere was excactly like I imagine any kind of small town hotel in an classic British novel. The village itself is very picturesque and the room I was staying in had a nice view. It was clean, warm (not always the case in Dublin as I learned) and the owner was friendly.It is indeeed in the middle of nowhere but perfect for cycling I'd wager(it was raining too hard to do that though). If you want to spend a few days in the beautiful countryside, walking, cycling, and stuff -- I couldn't imagine a better place to come "home" to in the evenings. Be sure to bring a nice book (or take mine, I left it in room seven). All in all -- nice and cheap!
The Old Presbytery in Rathdrum … Really quite a decent hostel. Friendly management, good prices, and excellent location. All facilities and rooms are very clean and decent.
A very good alternative to the more expensive and uptight hostels closer by popular Glendalough. For example, local chainsaw and lawnmower store (not kidding) rents out bikes which can take you there. The town is just wonderful and has just everything you need (and nothing more), including a supermarket, a bank with ATM, a few pubs, and even a tourist office.
