Oversigt over rejsendes anmeldelser

Otter Hostel i Connemara tilbyder en venlig atmosfære med hjælpsomt personale og komfortable senge. Gæster sætter pris på de rene fællesområder og det veludstyrede køkken. Det er en fantastisk base for at udforske nationalparken, selvom en bil anbefales på grund af den lidt isolerede beliggenhed. Nogle nylige gæster rapporterede problemer med insekter på værelserne og mad, der var blevet smidt ud fra køleskabet.

Fantastic place to stay (as long as you’ve got a car)! Such clean and spacious common areas with a fully functioning kitchen to make your own dinners in. The staff were so helpful and lovely, I mentioned checking out very early the next day and the reception staff at the time offered to pack me a wee breakfast (as I would miss the 8am free breakfast-also fantastic!) It is a beautiful place to base yourself and enjoy the national park and all the hikes and activities on offer.

Our room at the arrival was full of midges. The staff did not do anything about it, no appologies, no refund. They only gave us a candle (without a lighter, so we had to went out and buy one) but it did not work at all. Generally, the staff didn't have any interest in solving our problem. We then come up with our own solution and asked for a hoover to get rid of the insects, which meant we spent 2 hours cleaing the room before we had it relatively comfortable. Terrible experience.

What a great place to stay in the heart of Connemara. The staff were lovely and friendly and the breakfast was nice in the morning. The lounge area was lovely and we got a fire going in the log burner for extra coziness. The beds were really comfortable. We stayed in room 11 which had 2 sets of bunk beds and a single with en-suite shower. The only thing to improve was the laundry room. Great facility but there were clothes left in there for ages and it felt like it was overlooked.
