Centrally located Family-friendly Hostel. Free High-speed Fibre Wifi.
Situated on the Wild Atlantic Way, the Aille River Tourist Hostel is the gateway to the majestic 700 ft Cliffs of Moher, the world-famous Aran Islands and the unique beauty of the Burren landscape, home to thousands of rare wildflowers and archaeological Celtic sites.

This 300-year-old renovated building is situated on a quiet road on the bank of the Aille River, right in the centre of Doolin. This is a perfect spot for your stopover or extended stay in the area, where you will experience a warm friendly atmosphere and welcome. Visit the sights of Clare or just chill out by the river during the day..... then relax by the turf fire or check out the traditional music in the local pubs.

The hostel has such a warm and cozy atmosphere to come home to at the end of each day! Hostel breakfast is a great price, though you do have to make it yourself. The staff was lovely and the other guests were friendly. It was a very convenient walk to the Cliffs of Moher walking trail and the Doolin pier where we took a boat tour of the cliffs. All of the pubs in town were intimate and had great live music every night! '
