A nice hostel to visit Glendalough. There was a large group of students staying there the 2 nights I was there but they quieted down after midnight.

It would have been nice to have salt in the kitchen. breakfast was not integrated and could have been less expensive.

The hostel is literally right beside the main attraction in Glendalough, the monastic city and walking park. Facilities were well kept. Staff is friendly. Continental breakfast is 4 euro, while a full Irish breakfast is 8. Glendalough is beautiful. I would recommend it and this hostel for any nature and-or history lover.

We (two girls) have been in the Glendalough hostel for two nights in february and it was a pleasure to stay in this hostel. The stuff is really friendly and helpful. The room is value for the money. And the location is perfect. It 's only 30min walk away from the national parc. I really would come back.

Very close to the monastic city and to the many trails in the park. Its a long trek to the town so bring groceries with you! The staff was generally friendly and the main lobby was nice. The room was comfortable but the bathroom smelled a little. I loved the kitchen! I would stay there again.
