Dingle Gate Hostel - Dingle Peninsula Reviews

Staying in Dingle gate hostel was so special! I was the only guest though, but I really felt like at home. The location of the hostel is a just a bit outside of the village and it is very handy if you are into walking and if you enjoy being in nature. Brian, the owner, is very pleasant and kind person and he really cares about his guests. I would definitely recommend it!

It was a little suprise that it wasn't excactly in Dingle but it was really fine. I feel this hostel is all about the people who are there. So i met some amazing people and that why my staying there was really good! Also.. because there were not so many people at that time we really got close. I actually wished i could stay longer. The owner or this place is really cool man. He drove us around and helped us with anything. The entire hostel is really laid-back and really chill.

I didn't stay here, but I did have a good look around! It's a beautiful and peaceful. I would have been the only person in the hostel for the whole duration of my stay, so the owners offered to drive me into Dingle and help me find another place to stay. It was SO SWEET of them! They were both wonderful people and I thoroughly enjoyed my ride into Dingle. The lady took me to a hostel that she knew had good reviews and waited to make sure I could get a bed. THANK YOU!! :D

it was very good and relaxing. it is not a luxury hotel and is a little far from dingle town is all about what you want to do we really enjoy there and the price was good (cheap)

Great place to stay - wonderful for a hiking vacation or as a stop on the way around Ireland. It's clean and comfortable and the rooms are great; there's a big common room with a fireplace and a kitchen with all necessities. It can get a little cold, but that's really the only thing. Brian, the owner, is one of the most wonderful, generous, hilarious people I've had the pleasure to meet.

Was pleasantly surprised. The Dingle Gate Hostel is in a beautiful part of the country (albeit not as close to Dingle as some would like) next to rolling green hills and pastures. The room was immaculate and nicer than some hotels that we paid 5x for. The owner was so nice and gave us great recommendations for sights etc. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to see Dingle and get a feel for what it`s like to be in the Irish country side.

This was a great experience for us the staff were really friendly and easy going ....will be back again definitely.......... would recommend for budget accommodation with really friendly atmosphere.

The hostel was wonderful; it felt more like a home stay than a hostel. The owner was so nice, shuttling around his guests everywhere and giving excellent tips on what to see. The only problem was that I'd thought the hostel was in the town of Dingle, and therefore had to go back to reach it; it would be helpful if the website made it extremely clear that the hostel was before Dingle.

Very clean, very quiet, nice view on the fields and mountains from the room... a lovely little cat, breakfast. Brian, the housekeeper is always reachable and available. He is very nice and cool. We had a fire in the fireplace when we came back in the evening. It's more convenient to have a car since the hostel is 1,5km far from Annascaul, and 16km from Dingle. But the road is OK between Dingle and Annascaul. It's cheap and I'll recomend it to my firends without hesitation.

greate shuttle service! If I knew that bevor I also would have stayed my first night in dubline at your hostel!

This may have been my favorite hostel I've ever stayed at, mostly because of the atmosphere. It felt like a bed and breakfast to me, even though the bed wasn't at all comfortable. Don't stay here if 1- you don't have a car AND don't like to walk. It didn't bother me since the area is beautiful, but it can be a bit of a hike to the bus station. Breakfast = GREAT, kitchen = GREAT, and Brian (the guy that runs it) is about the best bloak out there!!!

It's a bit far from Dingle (doesn't say it's close to it) but if you have a car it's grand. Owner is great. Ran out of bread though on second morning - couldn't find anymore or anyone to ask, therefore no breakfast! Nice and relaxing though.

great hostel, friendly, feel like home, clean and confortable a bit noisy but in town really friendly staff

I was originally going to spend three nights here. I have ended up staying a full six nights and may come back later on my trip. While it is not in Dingle proper, the Dingle Gate Hostel is situated beautifully in the hills and has many great hikes (including to Inch Beach) quite close by. It feels a bit like camp, with an old movie projector in the back shed with ping-pong and pool, and the fire in the fireplace every night. Brian runs the joint; I doubt you could find a nicer guy anywhere.
