As it was late October, not as touristy as the summer month. Hence, I was the only guest there and had the whole hostel for myself. Good location close to the Cinema. Many pubs within 1 minute walk. The hostel serve continental breakfast. Free wifi ,free flow coffee,and cable TV provided in the cozy lounge. From the outside, the hostel look strikingly colourful with nice flower pots by the windows.

Great location, good hostel, but internet speed is very slow (between 1 to 15 Mbps)

Micheal is a wonderful host. The hostel is a home from home with comfort and amenities beyond any hostel's standard. Pictures and art work, carpet on the floor, hot water for ever. Plus there was a Trad folk music festival that made me extend my stay three nights. A super place is Dingle itself with warm folks throughout the town ready to give directions, advice, and just chat. O'Connors vegetables are so fresh they have the mud still wet! Despite the hurricane, we all survived the weekend.

Just the shower could have been a little cleaner and the tables in the dining room.

This was a very neat and tidy hostel. We stayed in the private ensuite room and it was like a hotel, not a hostel. I am a cleanfreak and this place was excellent! Also it is situated close to all shops and restaurants.

This hostel was GREAT!!! My favourite in all of Ireland! The people were friendly, everything was clean, and it was close to everything while being far enough away to be really quiet at night! I'd DEFINATELY stay here again, anytime!
