Great place to stay for great price. About 40 minute walk to downtown, easy and nice. The owner was extremely friendly and helped us figure things out.

The hostel is extremely nice and very clean. The breakfast is wonderful, from Irish breakfast, to collection of cereals, tea, coffee, yougurts, eggs, cheese, etc. The owners are very helpful and very kind, it is a family-run business. The facilities are new, very nicely decorated and very clean, rooms are warm and cosy. It is like a real 5 star hotel. There is also free parking provided. It is a place where you feel like at home. A great value for the money.

Nice place in an easy to find location. We didn\'t find any option to make coffee/tea in the rooms though.

Stayed there with my boyfriend for two night. Very friendly host, clean and nice-looking room, small but clean bathroom. All in all a great quality B&B for a very low price!

Great B+B - stayed at many on our Ireland trip and this was the best. Nice breakfasts, room was very clean and comfortable with heating, glasses, towels etc which not all B+Bs provided. A bit out of the center of the city but there is a bus stop a minute away which is cheap and easy to use. The staff were very nice and helpful with any questions. Really enjoyed it here!

Great host! Extremely kind and nice. The gentleman even threw a pair of my mates jeans in the washer because they got muddy on our tour of the Aran Islands. Easy enough to get into the city, the bus stop was right down the street. Breakfast was great too. He even did some moving around to get us in a room with two beds because we accidentally booked a room with only one. Cant say enough good things about this place.
