Comments: We found the hostel to be nice, but cold. Had the heat been turned on only for an hour to get the chill out, our experience would have been better. Very nice kitchen.

Comments: We stayed here before flying out of Shannon. Close to the airport which was what we needed. There isn't anything to do in the town and the hostel is big and bland! It is a good place to stay when flying out of shannon, only 15 min away.

Comments: The owner was quite rude when we first checked in. Not very helpful. Their website is not up to date and they fail to mention that they charge 4% if you pay with a credit card.

Comments: This location is extremely hard to get to and/or find if you are not driving. DO NOT stay here if you are traveling by public transportation. Also don't be fooled it is a good 8 mile hike or so down to Bunratty castle and there are no side walks its all very narrow country roads that are scary to walk down!

Comments: It looks great on paper, but it is not particularly close to anything. It seems secure, but that's because there's not much else around, and there were only four or so people staying at the hostel when we were. The staff was nice enough, but you have to make your own fun. Bunratty Castle is not close to this hostel. It is at least three miles away on open roads, and this was recommended to us as just a walk down the road. We took a taxi back.

Comments: A very short drive to Shannon Airport from here. The owner was very nice and kept the place very clean. The sheets even smelled good! The kitchen was HUGE, they have a nice game room, and an outdoor courtyard.

Comments: great hostel, good kitchen and a great lounge. The owner lights a fire every night in the lounge and there is a tv or you can read or play games. about a 2 minute walk from the center, which has a grocery store and lots of bars. Nowhere really to get dinner though... we just cooked for ourselves.

Comments: I liked it a lot. I only stayed a night because i needed to catch a plane the next morning and it's near shannon airport. But the gentlemen who attended to me was very helpful and very nice. I definitely liked this place. I wish it were near more attractions, it would be the PERFECT hostel than.
