I loved this hostel. Nice and quiet, but perfect for meeting people. Bathrooms are very spatious and incredibly clean. The owners are lovely people and very helpful. They offer rides to nearby Glendalough for 15 euros. Absolutely no complaints.

I had a great time here . The staff were really friendly and I loved hanging out in the kitchen. The hostel is an old house with a homely feel and that suits me better than the big hostels.the manager, Ian was very welcoming when I arrived and gave me lots of advice about the area. I had a great break from my Au Pair job. I will definitely be back.

WONDERFUL!! Staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the town and distances to local hot spots. Had a great dinner and live music across the street at The Bridge! Room was very clean and loved the private patio out back!

Do you remember two Korean girls? We went to Wicklow mountain by your car. I was happy in your hostel. The homemade bread was really nice. Thank you :)

Not a whole lot to do in wicklow, but this place is great. Everyone is very friendly, good social environment to meet travelers from all over. A bit cold but the fire is nice. Showers are good.

Possibly the cleanest bathroom I've seen in a hostel, great Wi-Fi, comfortable and clean bedding, fantastic staff. The only thing I missed was a security locker in the room and carpets could use a bit more than vaccuming. Highly recommended.

Nice cosy hostel, on a quiet street in Wicklow. Staff were uber friendly giving us loads of options on where to eat, what to do, entertainment! Good social hostel too, rooms were spotless, big cosy common room and spacious kitchen!
