Guest Reviews

- Aija Eihvalde (7/5): Needs some improvement - Fantastic location, stunning view of the landscape. The loud noise from the heating /water system running during the night affected the quality of sleep.
- Gunnar Kristian (7/5): -
- Michael (5/5): -
- Martin (10/5): - Very nice location, super friendly receptionist girl, she gave us room with the best view (17 😀). Everything was clean, beds were comfortable. -
- Mariana (10/5): -
- Sarah (6/5): Für eine Nacht absolut ok - Die Lage. Die Aussicht. Kaffee und Tee auf dem Zimmer. Handtücher gab es auch. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht genutzt. Leider gab es auf der Panorama Terrasse keine Sitzmöbel. Das ist sehr bedauerlich bei so einem Ausblick. Die Heizkörper und das Bad bedürfen eine Grunderneuerung.
- Ingar (8/5): - Staff were lovely and the stay was wonderful. Very nice scenic location with easy parking
- Alain (9/5): Fine for a short stay off the Wicklow Way - Good location for the Wicklow Way, just barely off the trail. Full facilities including a kitchen though it’s a bit small. Was well kept and clean. The resident cats could be friendlier 😼
- Monique (8/5): - Die tolle Lage am Wicklow Way und die Aussicht aus dem Essraum Das Zimmer war sehr dunkel und die Matratzen waren Steinhart.
- Karolien (8/5): - Zeer vriendelijk ontvangst. Leuk om een upgrade te krijgen en maar met 1 andere persoon in de kamer te liggen. Wc en badkamer op de kamer. Voorziene keuken. Ietwat harde bedden.
- Jonathan (9/5): Fijn verblijf voor Wicklow Way hikers - Heerlijk verblijf als je de Wicklow Way loopt, je hoeft dan niet van het pad af. Douches waren heerlijk warm. Bij de receptie een aantal kleinigheidjes te koop, de rest van je eten zelf meenemen. Slaapzalen zijn simpel. Geen gordijntjes. Geen stopcontact bij het bed.
- Fiona (8/5): -
- Izabela (10/5): - Amazing friendly and welcoming staff. My stay was wonderful. I was absolutely blown away by the standards and how clean the room was, bathroom facilities and the bedding. Smell of fresh and crispy everywhere. Fantastic place. Thank you 👍 Professional very friendly staff with gorgeous smiles and the cat at the reception 😀
- marie christine (8/5): Très dépaysant et un peu inattendu mais très bonne surprise - Gentillesse accueil chaleureux emplacement lieu improbable et agréable cuisine très fonctionnelle chambre très agréable La douche était bouchée dommage
- William (10/5): Great hostel - Beautiful location Nothing
- Chantelle (9/5): -
- Katarzyna (9/5): - An amazing view from our room—nothing else needed. I just wish we could stay a little longer to fully experience this unique location. I’m not sure if this is really a negative, but there was no cheese, meat, or eggs included in the breakfast—although that may be typical of a continental breakfast. In our case, we weren’t hungry afterwards, so what was available was perfectly fine.
- Gill (1/5): - They locked us out, a Chinese gentleman opened door stated he didn't work there our card wasn't working. We drove home, didn't stay. I want a refund. They wudnt let us use communal kitchen. I'm in wheelchair lift wasn't working. Issue refund I'm disgusted by my treatment at this location As above
- Alejandro (5/5): Hostel muy caro para lo que ofrece. - Lo único positivo es que estaba cerca del evento deportivo al que fuimos. La recepcionista fue amable Las camas muy duras, la habitación estaba al lado de la caldera que no nos dejó dormir en toda la noche y por la mañana a las 6:00 ya estaba activada de nuevo. No había posibilidad de desayuno o cena.
- Omar (9/5): -
- Kane (9/5): -
- Veronica (10/5): Tappa ideale sulla Wicklow Way - Posizione stupenda e tranquillissima, con una vista meravigliosa sulla vallata: il posto perfetto per rilassarsi completamente. Le aree comuni sono accoglienti e ben curate, e lo staff è sempre gentile e disponibile. Ideale per chi percorre la Wicklow Way. Consigliatissimo!
- Steven (9/5): Perfect place to stay after the first stint of hiking the Wicklow Way (north to south). -
- Peter (7/5): A game of two halves - The staff. Our room was in the old building right above the boiler. It made for a pretty poor jet lagged nights sleep. The second night the staff upgraded us to the lovely front room. We were very grateful.
- Selena (10/5): - Our team stay at this hostel for work in Dublin. We are never disappointed

- Donatas (9/5): -
- Donatas (9/5): - Location are stunning, staff friendly, good value for money, Recommend .. Beds are conformable. Rooms are clean + showers. Kitchen lovely a lot of space.
In some bedrooms would be great to have curtains, to keep darker in the room during night and early mornings.
- MichaelG25 (6/5): - Excellent location surrounded by nature Mattress are old and uncomfortable, better to sleep on cardboard
- Maja (9/5): Pleasant surprise, clean and friendly. Spacious. - The hostel was spacious and exceptionally clean. There was almost no other guests while I stayed there, the place was lovely and quiet.
- Oladipupo Ebenezer (6/5): - Is good place Is too far
- Dermot (10/5): Excellent all round and the staff are very attentive, helpful and friendly - I really enjoy the open plan of dining room, with entire picture windows to view the mountains and landscape. The room is elevated to improve that experience. It dining room is huge and has a real community feel to it with other visitors Few charger points in the bedrooms.
- Ray (7/5): -
- Eva (8/5): - Beautifull place and perfect location for the Wicklow Way
The woman in the reception was very nice, friendly and helpful The room was cold and right above the laundry room witch was very loud till very late
- Nerea (7/5): - La habitacion estaba muy bien considerando que además era un hostel Nada, porque estaba un poco lejos del centro pero considerando la región de wicklow considero que es normal que esté un poco apartado
- David (10/5): Excellent facilities and friendly helpful staff in a scenic location. - Clean and quiet with great views.
- Dermot (10/5): The hostel was excellent, perfect comfortable rooms. Excellent location for scenic walks . - Very pleasant host. One cooker was not operational, but I presume it's on their list to be fixed.

- Aurore (10/5): Avis sur l'hostel - Personnel incroyable ! Gentil, chaleureux, à l'écoute s'il y a problème et aide à trouvé des solutions.
4 petites boules de poils comme mascotte de l'hostel, un accueil surprenant mais très mignon.
Les dortoires aussi que les pieces communes sont très spacieuse.
Il y aurait tant d'autre chose à dire sur cet hostel. De tout les hostel où j'ai été celui là est mon préféré. Je le conseil vivement (surtout pour les amoureux de la nature et des chats😉) Les 2 seuls petits problèmes que j'ai rencontré son personnel. Les areignés dans les toilettes du premier étage et le chauffage qui tourait à fond. Mais c'est purement subjectif et n'influence en rien mon avis sur cet hostel.
- Collins (8/5): -
- Eoghan (10/5): Place to be and most definitely a place to see 👀 👌 - The location alone,
Perfection through every pane of glass
I would even go a step further, saying this is sacred ground blessed by the Almighty. Didn't have the right hiking boots with me ..
Knockree is the bee knees, and the Cats pyjamas

- Ligia (8/5): Beautiful place in nature, with a lovely view. - The room was very spacious, comfortable beds, clean and all facilities needed were there. Also, the view was lovely!
- Olena (8/5): Ми б залюбки повернулися, але з надією що будуть покращення. - Розташування та вид з вікна був просто чудовим. Атмосфера в хостелі теж сподобалась. Було дуже приємно снідати у дворі за столиком з таким чудовим видом. Хотілося щоб було трохи чистіше, та було більше зручностей у ванній кімнаті. Було б добре якби ціна була трохи меншою відповідно.

- Margaret (7/5): - No Eircode included, long way out of village, Not advised this was Eir band b.
- Robert (8/5): Ruhige Unterkunft für Naturliebhaber - Die Unterkunft liegt ruhig im Grünen mit schönem Ausblick auf die Berge. Die Zimmer (es ist schließlich eine Jugendherberge) sind schlicht, aber reichen für eine Übernachtung nach einer langen Wanderung völlig aus. Super nettes Personal, das einem bei jeder Frage weiterhilft. Es gibt zwar kein Abendessen, aber man kann sich Pizza aus Bray bestellen, was super funktioniert. Snack- und Getränkeautomat sind ebenfalls vorhanden. Das Frühstück könnte etwas reichhaltiger sein.
- Suna (10/5): The surrounding nature was so beautiful, great area for hiking. The staff were the sweetest people. It was clean and the - The surrounding nature was so beautiful, great area for hiking. The staff were the sweetest people. It was clean and the kitchen area was super nice, we could make our own food. Even though there was an option for having breakfast there. My friend and I loved staying here!☀️🌿

- Angelika (9/5): - Open plan building, clean and friendly, good kitchen Parking is at thw back and though onlt a minute away from main door, it's dark if you carry a suitcase
- Inguna (10/5): - Atrašanās vieta, atmosfēra un līdzcilvēki.
- Ruslan Połtawa (1/5): -

- Cathal (10/5): - This is a great hostel. Very comfortable. Good facilities. And if you're a person who wants to get away from the city and go to somewhere very isolated and peaceful, well this place is ideal for you. But a tip, bring food and drink with you, as the nearest shop is 5 km's away.
- Rossana (10/5): - Tutto soprattutto la vista. Le ragazze alla reception particolarmente gentili e disponibili
- Kyryl (6/5): - Beautiful place Need a car to get there
- Abir (10/5): - I had a lovely time at this cozy hostel. The location is absolutely beautiful, Anna & the rest of the staff were super lovely & welcoming, the rooms (bathrooms & kitchen too) were very clean & tidy....and the cats... the cats were just adorable 😊
The place has a lovely relaxed vibe about it. Since the hostel in an isolated area, it can be dangerous to walk the long roads alone so I highly recommend going there with a few friends to make sure you're safe & secure.
- Deirdre (7/5): The staff were very helpful in terms of providing good directions in terms of reaching the Hostel. - We left early so, we didn't have the breakfast. The bed was a little too hard for me. I contend with chronic pain so, it caused extra pain to my back.
- Monika (10/5): - Lokace, klid
- THAO (10/5): Séjour très confortable à Knockree - L’hôtel se trouve sur le Wicklow Way. Parfait pour les randonneurs.
Notre chambre a été « upgraded ». Malgré la pluie, la vue de la chambre était magnifique. Le lit était très confortable. La douche était très propre et sympa.
La cuisine et la salle à manger étaient bien équipées et propres.
Les personnels étaient très accueillants. Il y avait des espaces de salon très spacieux sur chaque étage. Un séjour formidable. Je recommande cet hostel. Rien

- Giulia (10/5): -
- Alexandru (10/5): I will be back again ,the property was perfect - Everything was perfect ,the italian lady at the reception very helpful and very polite, i will be back again Was perfect, c ant complain
- Mar (8/5): Goed eenvoudig hostel - Vriendelijk personeel, afgelegen locatie met zicht op de vallei. Er is een gemeenschappelijke keuken en zitplaats. Geen alcoholische dranken verkrijgbaar in het hostel, enkel snacks en frisdrank uit een automaat.
Vanop de Wicklow way is het bergop naar het hostel.
- Phil (10/5): Beautiful mountain stay close to hiking trails. Adventurous road for 1st Irish drive. - Nestled in the mountains, close to walking trails, and the kitchen/lounge area overlooking the mountains and valley. Full kitchen facilities to make your own meals. Nothing
- Jochen (9/5): - Gute Lage diekt am Wicklow Way. Die Küche zum Selbstkochen ist praktisch und das Frühstück war lecker und das Geld mehr als wert. Im Schlafsaal lässt sich halt kaum vermeiden, dass jemand schnarcht oder kränkelnd hustet. Die Metallbetten quietschen etwas, ist aber nicht schlimm.

- min zhi (8/5): -
- Lauren (9/5): - Location is incredible! Communal bathrooms are outside.
- Pinto Coelho (9/5): -
- Susanne (10/5): Idylle pur! - Wir hatten das Zimmer mit Aussicht! Bodentiefe Fenster über die gesamte Breite mit einem herrlichen Blick in die Wicklow Mountains. Die Wanderwege starten direkt vor der Haustür.
