As a solo female traveler, this was perfect. I felt at home and safe during my stay. The owner Stephanie is the best!! She was so kind and communicative and helpful :) And the location is *chefs kiss*. If you enjoy trail running or hiking, this place is the perfect spot. You’ll have to make time for Tollymore Park and a hike to the top of Slieve Donard… it’s a must! 😍

Hutt Hostel is really well located for convenience and stunning landscape. It was perfectly well equipped, including a drying room, which is useful after coming down off the mountains. Beds were comfy. Lighting is a bit harsh in the rooms and communal areas. Hutt Histel's outstanding quality is, for sure, its staff. Steph and Cathel are incredibly accommodating and genuinely care for the enjoyment if the hostel users.
