Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 23rd September 2008 Male 41+ 2/5 Comments: PARMI TOUS LES HEBERGEMENTS QUE NOUS AVONS EUS L OCCASION DE TESTER EN IRLANDE ( quelques dizaines ) celui ci restera assurement le plus exotique ! sale !un personnel qui semble demobilise ! et nous le comprenons au regard du travail a entreprendre pour rendre cet endroit accueillant et dynamique etc...... ! le seul point positif c est que nous en reparlerons longtemps !

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 27th August 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: The fireplace in the kitchen is wonderful when you come back to the hostel at the end of a long walking day! However, be aware that Annascaul is not Dingle, but a small village 20 minutes by bus from Dingle. At the time we went,there was only 2 buses a day running that journey. So if you have a car or if your schdule is flexible, this hostel is perfect! Otherwise, you would probably be disappointed.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 17th August 2008 Couple 25-30 2/5 Comments: one bathroom and one toilet for all the room is a little bit poor !!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 17th August 2008 Male 25-30 1/5 Comments: Booked a room for six and didn't even stay here as the premises is abandoned at 8, no number to ring, no explanation and no forewarning. Very disappointing and one to be avoided.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 10th August 2008 Male 31-40 1/5 Comments: Noisy at night, dirty kitchen and bathroom, nothing available to make your own food...Shame!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 5th August 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Very noisy when Paddywagon arrives!!! Guests should be awarned that paddy wagon is on the way to the randy leprechaun...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 3rd August 2008 Female 41+ 1/5 Comments: I only saw one staff person who left at 8 p.m., and then there was apparently no one for the rest of the night. Breakfast is a totally do it yourself venture- even coffee and tea aren't made.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 3rd August 2008 Couple 25-30 1/5 Comments: Only one shower and one toilet for all the residents ! It shouldn't be allowed ! The "palace" is disgusting...If you want to take your shower and have hot water, please wake up at 5 am... We'll never come back here !

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 27th July 2008 Male 41+ 2/5 Comments: Didn't actually stay there because I found out it is approx 15 Km outside of Dingle. Dubious marketing ploy to say Dingle peninsula. Booked other hostel in DINGLE

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 20th July 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: It´s really dirty and it´s hardly possible to sleep, because teens are around the hole night and are very loud. I´ve never been in such a bad hostel!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Denmark 17th July 2008 Couple 25-30 2/5 Comments: If you arrive earlier than expected you will have to sit and wait outside until the staff arrives. If we hadn't booked a room in advance, we would have had to check in at a BnB.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 30th June 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Poorly-stocked, poorly-lit kitchen; hard mattresses.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 4th July 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: It would be good to know when the staff is going to be unavailable for whatever amount of time. I understand when things happen, but an unattended office isn't very appealing to a person travelling in unfamiliar area.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 1st July 2008 - - 2/5 Comments: The description says ten minutes from Dingle, you can go for double time. The premises are bad and not clean at all. Furthermore, the staff aren' t very diligent. To avoid if you want to spend a good night. Good enough if you just want to spend very few money, have several pintes and have a few hours night's sleep.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 20th June 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: Nice hostel, but unfortunately in the middle of nowhere, nothing is walkable, Dingle town is about 15 minute drive away which is a lovely, quaint fishing village full of pubs and character. If you're into Karaoke and staying with Paddywagon tour groups then you will be happy here.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 26th May 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Bar was good too

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 2nd July 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: we got a room with a window we couldn't close.... the only staff girl didn't look really nice... hopefully, we met nice peoples there and had great time !

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 30th June 2008 Female 41+ 2/5 Comments: Toilet and bathroom facilities were inadequate, only ONE, which involved queing. Very few pots & pans if you wanted to cook, and no storage facilities for food etc. Possibly OKfor a 1 night stop, but not very good to stay longer.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 19th June 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Bar is only open on the weekend-heads up!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 15th June 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 2/5 Comments: No hot water.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 9th June 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 1/5 Comments: We didn''t stay here because when we arrived, there was no one at the reception. We walked around the entire hostel looking for someone and there was no one to be found. Doors to rooms were just left open, the bathrooms were disgusting, and the future is held together by duct tape. We walked over the "Randy Leprecaun" and asked the bar tender if he knew how to check in and he knew nothing about the place. We waited for at least 25 minutes for someone to get there and no one ever showed up.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 10th June 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Fantastic hostel! Great location! Lovely staff!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 30th May 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: The hostel itself is fine, and the woman at the front desk is really nice, but the hostel is too far away if you are trying to visit Dingle Town and the rest of the tip of the peninsula.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 23rd May 2008 Couple 18-24 4/5 Comments: Great craic-great staff and a beautiful little town. The rooms were clean and it felt very cosy.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 27th May 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: The resceptionnist girl was not very pleasant. Another small details take your shower as soon as possible to hope to have so warm water. As well be careful, the name of the hostel is not Paddy's Palace (it's business name)is Randy's hostel (something like that!) in annascaul village.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 21st May 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Warning: this hostel is not in Dingle!! It is on the Dingle Peninsula but is actually in a village 20 km away from Dingle town, and buses only run a few times every day, making it very hard to get to the hostel. Be aware of their false advertising!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Austria 18th May 2008 Male 41+ 4/5 Comments: Lovely Clean Hostel with a free breakfast. Very Clean and good to seat back and relax.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Belgium 15th May 2008 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: I had the best night of my travels in this hostel. Great Live music in the attached bar and the staff were very helpful. Room were all ensuite and the free breakfast was great. Will be back.
