Great hostel. Well located close to V&A, a short taxi ride to the city centre. Clean, good breakfast. Staff were friendly and very helpful but a little intrusive. Lots of group activities to sign up for but unfortunately few running during our stay. Would stay again.

On the edge of Doolin, just a short walk from the pub. I felt very welcome, the couple that own the place are really lovely and took time to chat to all the guests. It has more of a B&B feel than a hostel. My room was always warm and the place was clean.

The Connemara Hostel (Sleepzone), Connemara, Ireland

26th Apr 2017

Beautiful setting on the fjord and perfect stop on a road trip along the wild Atlantic way. I used it as a base for hiking in Connemara. Loads of stuff in surrounding area to visit. If you didn't have a car you would be a bit isolated as the pubs/shops are not within walking distance. The hostel is well equipped with big common areas and has a basic breakfast. There were a few backpackers staying and unfortunately a large noisy school group which ruined the atmosphere.

I stayed for just one night and had a mediocre experience. It's a big hostel with great social areas and plenty happening, just a few minutes walk from the marina and bars. The bathroom by my room didn't lock properly leading to some awkward experiences, and the stairwell lights were out. The showers were all ice cold the morning I was there- the guy at reception apologised and gave me free breakfast. I would recommend Lights Out hostel instead, it's around the corner and seems better run.

Had a fantastic stay for 4 days here! Staff were wonderful, in particular Mika who runs a great walking tour. Highly recommended for a solo traveller- there's always plenty going on in the hostel, everyone tends to meet in the bar in the evening then go for tapas. Great communal areas including a roof terrace. Would definitely stay again.

Quite simply one of the best city hostels I've stayed in. Located right by Sol and easy access to the metro. I was welcomed like a friend by the staff when i checked in after a long journey. Very social place with communal dinner and organised nights out! Dorms were clean and tidy and had all the facilities you would expect in a city centre hostel.

You will come here and never want to leave. Beautiful building with views over the countryside. Clean and well kept. Best of both worlds, close to the city but in the heart of coffee country. The owner is a wonderful host and treats you like a friend. Great little hike down to a waterfall, but don't follow the dog, it doesn't know the way...

Beautiful grounds with a great pool. Dorm was clean with ensuite. Great Italian food available. The wifi is slow and difficult to connect to and ordering a drink at the bar is an annoying two stage process where you have to buy a voucher from reception. Staff were generally pleasant and it was easy to get mototaxis from the hostel

A bit out of town but there's not much in town worth seeing anyway. The hostel is a bit of a destination in itself with a great pool and bar. Easy to book trips to tayrona/lost city etc. The rooms with air con make all the difference. Staff are cool and make the effort to get to know you

A decent place to stay, right beside the british museum and only a few minutes walk to the west end theatres or Holborn underground. Plenty going on in the hostel, staff are chatty. Clean and reasonably well equipped. Lockers were a cage with a lock under the bed- somebody could easily steal small valuables through the holes!

The hostel is just on the edge of the town. Facilities generally good, common area was great and room was ensuite and very clean. Unfortunately the kitchen was much too small and it was very stressful to try and cook there amongst 10 other people in a room the size of a cupboard! The staff were amazing, they could not have been more helpful in arranging excursions and giving advice!

The girl who checked us in became irritated when asked for recommendations, not the best customer service! I'd still definitely recommend this hostel, really enjoyed my stay
