Guest Reviews
- Nataliia (10/5): Wonderful - I liked everything very much
- Frank (10/5): Brilliant - Helpful and friendly staff at reception. The reason for my booking was I fishing the moy fishery, you can walk to it from the Hostel it’s so handy. Very reasonably priced room. Tea/Coffee with a cereal breakfast is a nice touch as well. Highly recommend I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m up fishing !
- Mikko (8/5): -
- Susanne (6/5): Zentrale Lage - Das Hostel liegt zentral und alles ist fußläufig erreichbar. Die Dusche war bisher die am besten funktionierende, die wir auf unserer 14 tägigen Reise hatten. Es ist dort durch die Hauptverkehrsstraße sehr laut, so dass man nachts kein Auge zu tut und an ein Öffnen des Fensters nicht einmal denken kann. Schallschutzfenster wären hilfreich. Außerdem störte mich, dass die Fenster "blind" sind und man keine Möglichkeit hat, hinauszusehen. Da wären Vorhänge, Rollos und Klarsichtfenster schöner.
- James (10/5): -
- Guest (10/5): Izjemno! Priporočam. - Izjemno lep hostel, nad pričakovanji! Nahaja se v samem centru, 10 minut peš od avtobusne postaje. Soba je bila sicer majhna, a nam je bilo pomembno, da sta bili v sobi samo dve postelji. Vse je bilo lepo urejeno in čisto. Izjemno velika, lepo urejena in založena kuhinja. Vse pohvale tudi prijaznemu osebju!
- Aitor (9/5): -
- Paolo (8/5): paesaggi stupendi con strade strette - bel bagno e camera nuova senza tv ed asciugacapelli, colazione solo basic (molto basic)
- Canavan (9/5): Found it a good place to stay as it was just out of the busy part of town and was easy to walk in - The breakfast was a Continental breakfast and even though there were some cooking facilities - I don't know if we could have cooked something for ourselves, if we had wanted to. The room was spacious and neat, with all that you would need in there. Very comfortable bed and well soundproofed from outside noise.
- Noel (8/5): -
- Hanna (7/5): - The only positive aspect of our stay was the staff, who were very friendly, accommodating, and communicated clearly, providing excellent instructions throughout. The location was also reasonably convenient, being in town, with available parking. However, the rest of the experience was very uncomfortable and, in our view, not worth the money. If we had known, we would have paid €10 more for a much better stay. There was a shared kitchen available for guests, which was well equipped and included bread, jam, and butter for toast, this was a nice bonus. During our stay, it wasn’t busy, so we were able to use it easily, but it only appeared to have one hob and two ovens, so it may become crowded during peak periods. Unfortunately, our room was a major issue. Although it had an en-suite bathroom, it was located on the ground floor next to the communal toilet and faced a busy road. With very little soundproofing, noise carried throughout the night. We could hear traffic continuously, as well as people standing outside and smoking near our window, including their conversations. The communal toilet use was also extremely disruptive. The heavy door was repeatedly opened and closed during the night, creating loud bangs and vibrations that travelled through the wall—our bed was against that same wall, which made it particularly disturbing. On top of that, the toilet had a hand dryer instead of paper towels, so the noise continued whenever it was used. As a result, we barely slept and woke up exhausted, which was very disappointing as we had a long day ahead attending a festival. While other rooms may be better situated, ours was unfortunately a nightmare experience, and we would not choose to stay there again. Everything related to the room, including uncomfortable bed
- Floriane (8/5): Bien - La taille des chambres Le salon commun Les équipements La localisation Petit dej un peu sommaire mais convenable
- Carmen (1/5): Pessima - Posizione Muro della finestra, luce verde accesa tutta la notte, bagno con luce accesa di notte, nessun bicchiere in camera, colazione autonoma con sola possibilità di the e caffe in bustine, tanti toast, niente yogurt, ecc Mi dispiace moltissimo, è la prima volta che ho trovato una sistemazione così deludente.

- Valentina (10/5): everything was great - everything was great everything was great
- David (9/5): A great hostel in a very convenient location - The hostel staff were very warm and friendly, the hostel is very modern and comfortable and the free breakfast was a treat. The hostel is within a minutes walk to the town centre where there are restaurants and bars and the walk along the river Moy is recommended. The cycle route up to Killala starts outside the front of the hostel and is also recommended Nothing
- Lily (10/5): Really central - Very clean and spacious Nothing
- BOUQUAFUS (10/5): -
- Frances (8/5): Lovely hostel - The hostel was great, clean, quiet and the breakfast provided was sufficient Breakfast could have had some fruit or juice

- Rafael (8/5): -
- Gross (9/5): -
- Patrick (9/5): Ideal für eine Nacht - Sauberkeit, Lage und Größe des Zimmers (4 Bett Zimmer zu 2🤩) Selfmade Frühstück (nur Toast mit Marmelade) und alternativ Cornflakes. Ein bisschen zu wenig zum Preis/ Leistung Verhältnis. Zimmertemperatur kann man leider nicht einstellen.
- Time for a holiday (10/5): -
- Eileen (10/5): Fantastic accommodation - Very affordable , spotless Everything was great
- Susanne (6/5): Good for one night, but not many amenities in room to expect. - Good shower and en-suite bathroom. Location at Main Street. There were no towels for drying hands after hands washing and one of the window blinders was broken.
- Dlugosz (10/5): - Czysto, schludnie wszystko na miejscu tak jak powinno być. Polecam 🤗 Nie podobało mi się to strefa kuchni jest otwarta od 7 rano, dzień wcześniej po zakwaterowaniu zostawiłem tam w lodówce jedzenie, rano wyjeżdżałem przed 6 i niestety nie mogłem go już zabrać
- Denise (10/5): Highly recommended. - Immaculately clean. Friendly local staff, who take the time to orientate you through the communal kitchen and dining area where an included Continental breakfast is self serve. Close to river walks, attractions like Mary Robinson's House and a five minute walk to best craic in Ballina's awesome pub culture and Arts Centre.
- Gross (10/5): - Sehr nettes team
- Anthony (8/5): Good spot to stay, good Town to visit.. - Continental style, basic but good. Not much really, very clean, tidy & good location..

- Dominique (5/5): Décevant - Emplacement Personnel sympa mais réduit au minimum - Petit déjeuner très basique et impersonnel au possible en auto gestion par les clients
- Wolfgang (7/5): - Die Zimmer und die Möblierung im Zimmer im Bad waren guter Qualität. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet. Es gab einen großen Aufenthaltsraum. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett, gesprächs- und hilfsbereit. Es wurde sofort alles aufgeräumt. Wir haben viele Tipps für Unternehmungen erhalten. Die Zimmer und die Möblierung im Zimmer waren sehr spartanisch. Wir habe z.B. keine Haken zum Aufhängen gefunden. Es war von der Straße her sehr laut.

The included breakfast is quite basic, but you can add to it with your own things no problem
