Carmel and Mattie are wonderful hosts; very friendly and helpful. Mattie's slide show was beautiful and educational. The hostel is warm, clean and homey. Bus Eireann stops at the front door for easy access. Carmel and Mattie are wonderful hosts; very friendly and helpful. Mattie's slide show was beautiful and educational.

It is a very clean hostel in a nice location in the small town of Doolin. We would definetly stay there again. Unfortunately there is no heating in the rooms and it was quite chilly and the main door is open at all times.It is a very clean hostel in a nice location in the small town of Doolin.

It is highly recommendable as the place is full of lovely decorations and thus very stylish! The common area is very warm with a real fireplace! Mattie (The host) was a very nice guy who organizes a fantastic (FREE!!!) walking tour exploring the natural environment of Doolin. It is also very close to a renowned bar in which very good music is played every night. It would be even better if a mat/ towel is put on the bathroom floor to get rid of the drenched floor!!It is highly recommendable as the place is full of lovely decorations and thus very stylish!
