The shower was a dribble, our room was situated on the busy road side of the hostel. Theres no TV, games, books for leisure. However it is very cheap and the owner is very friendly and generous.

Our room didn't leave a lock, there was no hot water, The sheets were not fitted so you ended up sleeping on the old mattress halfway through the night,. Wouldn't recommend this place.

Great location, however this place isnt much of a hostel. Only a few rooms and not very much space inside. But why would you want to be when there are the amazing pubs, restaurants, and scenery around Dingle?

we stayed in a two bed room with shared bathroom which was quite nice for the little price we paid. We also had free WIFI and breakfast. Staff was very nice and advised us where to go at night or for a meal. Would stay there again for sure.

Because no staff was there people from one room partied all night long. They sang outside the bedroom's window, smoked inside. The smoke even reached the bedroom. Couldn't stop the drunks. Ruined my night. So if you want a chance to sleep here you better bring some earplugs.

Clean room in the centre of the town. Five minute walk to everything. I'd stay here again

Really good, spacious rooms and comfy beds. The only thing I'd ask Dave is to take a look at the leaky sink in our room, ended up with a puddle of water on our floor, thus we always had to clean our teeth in the bathroom!

Great place. Spacious rooms, clean facility, amazing host. Dave showed us in and immediately started explaining things around town, tips for activities, and great places to eat. He even gave us a small radiator to keep our room warm at night- it helped immensely.

Booked a twin room ensuite but instead got a room with 2 sets of bunkbeds (though we did have the room to ourselves) and no ensuite. Found the room cold.
