Captain Halpin's Hostel Reviews

Clean, quiet atmosphere...friendly and helpful staff..awesome price

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.

Nice clean hostel with very helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Unfriendly, not helpful staff. Broken window, fusty hostel, nice shower. No contact person at the reception.

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.

The hostel is basic kind of place to stay. The staff was rather friendly and helpful. I enjoyed it there and will definitely stay with them again when I go back to Wicklow!

+ good location, friendly, the manager can drive you to Glendalough for 15€ per person which is quite good if you don't have a car. - cold room in winter

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!

I stayed one more night in thsi hostel because one of the best things was the warm hospitality that the staff gave to people. You will not miss your home. I would totally recommend it.

i really enjoyed my time at the hostel. trish and ian were both very friendly and helpful. thanks for everything!
