The hostel is very clean and the atmosphere very nice. We were all surprised (in the good way of course) by everything you get there for the small price you pay. In the evening, we had a lot of fun in the pub of the hostel too.

Despite that I was the only one in the entire hostel for the night (it was the middle of April), I still received full service, which included a fresh breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

Paddy's Palace was cold, had terrible service, and did not feel safe at all. When I first arrived, it took 40 minutes for someone to come and check me in. There were literally 3 other people in the entire hostel, and they were in a different room. Imagine staying alone in your grandmothers huge, drafty house. That is what it felt like to me. The staff was pretty much non-existent. I could not wait to leave.

There was a Paddywagon tour there, a bus full of Aussies. Great fun in the pub!

I originally booked for the hostel but I ended up upgrading for the Inspiration Lodge BnB nextdoor. Great choice! It's absolutely fabulous and luxurious. Thanks for everything!

There was no staff in the hostel at admission, they didnt answered the phones. We had to wait a couple of hours and knock on the doors of the neighbours to find somebody in the village.

Very nice and clean. They even have a kitchen for the tourists, but I must say, they really ought to buy a microwave oven. Other than that, my stay was perfect.
