I was very happy with my time in Clifden and the Clifden Town Hostel was the perfect value for money combination. The staff are very helpful and the town is very nice. They keep it very clean. I also enjoyed visiting Letterfrak from there and seeing the Kylemore Abby. A helpful tip though would be to buy any food or drink you need before the evening because restaurants, pubs, and stores close early there.

Extremely nice people run this hostel!!! :) :) We broke our key by accident, and they immediately came and gave an other one and did not have a bad word to us. The kitchen is not suitable for cooking, though. WAAAAAY too small. So do stay here, but restrain from cooking. :-) Try chowder in one of the restaurants instead. :-)

Nice place, nice people! The rooms are simple but irreproachable, kitchen functional (even if the tap is a bit iffy). If you have any leftover meat, don't throw it away, leave it for the cat! ;-)

This is a fantastic hostel! The staff are extremely friendly. They are very helpful and kind, just really unassuming and unconditionally good people. The location is great, right near the bus stop and in the center of town. I found the bed to be comfortable, and I met a lot of really nice people here whom I made friends with. Clifden is a lovely little town off the beaten path, and this hostel is a very fair deal.

Sean is very commited into his business. The building is very clean, and the bedrooms too. Toilets and bathroom very clean as well. Not far from nice walks, Sean lent us a map and explained us a few places to be seen in the area. We absolutely loved this hostel!!

Hello, Hostel was clean and the staff, even not very présent, really kind. The only négative thing we would say was that the beds wern't confortable at all... Otherwise, nice place!

I emailed you to ask what was uncomfortable about the beds and was dissappointed to see that you did not reply.As you should have noticed your room had a new carpet,new blinds and new beds all installed 1 week before you were here.All mattresses are memory foam and of excellent quality.Perhaps you are not very used to high quality memory foam mattresses.

The room was realy small but clean. The kitchen was a bit dirty and the shower also realy small.

Our rooms are average size for a hostel,our kitchen maybe a little untidy after some other guests but I can assure you it is cleaned every day.As you are aware the ladies showers are individual walk in private showers for 1 person.Usually you find communal showers in hostels.The shower area measures 85cmX180cm.Just how big would you like the shower in a hostel to be. I feel that you are looking for hotel sized rooms at a hostel price. Regards to Angela

A good accomodation to sleep in Connemara. What you see is what you get, it is just a good place to sleep. Place is clean, bathroom are shared, no breakfast included, free wi-fi. Staff is nice but not always there.

When I am not at the desk I am probably in the laundry room,or maybe painting rooms in preparation for the season but I am on call 24hrs and never more than 200mtrs from the hostel.I am happy that you slept well.
