It exceeded expectations. Staff was incredibly nice and helpful, and went overboard to make you feel confortable. Room, bathroom and common areas were great and spotless clean. You could borrow towels, hair dryer, band-aids, etc., which was really convenient. Breakfast was amazing, and I would also recommend singing up for the common dinner and pub crawl, I had a blast!

Very modern hostel in a great location! The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The self check in was no problem at all. I was even able to borrow a towel because I forgot mine. I'd highly recommend staying here if you want to explore west cork.

A beacon of rest in the west Ireland. Fantastic trails nearby with a host knowledgeable enough to offer advice, whatever the weather. Great breakfast directly from happy chickens and ducks in the garden.

It had a lift, which was great for my wife. The room was very comfortable with its own bathroom (we hate sharing with others). Staff were very helpful. It's close to Quay Street.

I stayed on the second floor of the hostel in a room with three beds, two of which were bunk beds. There was a private bathroom in the room with a shower, sink, and toilet - everything was very clean and tidy. My car was parked on a free parking spot on a perpendicular street to the hostel, and I could see it from the room window. The shared kitchen on the first floor was fully equipped with everything you need for cooking. Coffee and tea were available without any restrictions, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was self-made, with toast, butter, jam, milk, and cereal provided. It's a great place to stay for a few days at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

In our roadtrip this was the best hostel we booked in Ireland. It has a beautiful atmosphere and it's immersed in the nature. There were eggs, milk, cereals included for breakfast. The host was really adorable, she also washed all our clothes for free. So we definitely recommend this place if you are thinking to visit this area and you're travelling by car. It's a calm place also suitable for families, so you could find some children.

The bathrooms were very clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful. They had discounts with nearby businesses which when travelling on a budget is very helpful. In a great location, about 10 minutes walk from both Eyre Square, and Galway Cathedral (in opposite directions).

Extremely quaint hostel in a breathtaking location. Seemed like a lot of backpackers and other young travelers were staying there. Right across the street from a great pub and some good restaurants. Easy to access by bus but not much within walkable distance. Staff allowed us to drop off our bags before our check in time. Room and bathroom were clean.
