For the price, we would have appreciated a private bathroom and/or breakfast included, but the hostel was good, very clean and the people very nice.

There was 10 of us and were very impressed by the cleaninless of the place and the rooms in general. Comfortable beds, quite place, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff. We couldn't have asked for more. The only thing we all commented about was the size of the duvets. They seemed to be too short/small. The rest was perfect. Thanks.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Clifden Hostel. Clifden is a beautiful little town and the walking fantastic. The weather is very changeable and the sea air is very clean! Sean who runs the hostel was very helpful and went out of his way to ensure I felt at home. Many thanks!

It's not really a hostel. More a house offered to for sleeping. We had to call so we'd be checked in. But the location is really good and the facilities are clean and there's everything you need.
