    Internet could have been better, but if you have some data on your phone to look up what you want you don#t really need it. There is so much nature to see and explore, it didn't really matter :)

    Wonderful hostel in a beautiful part of Ireland. Staff was super nice, as were the other guests. Gave us tips on where to go, had little chats in the kitchen and community room. Overall an amazing stay!

    I'd have liked a mirror in the bedroom.

    Perfect location for a family get together in Hotel Doolin. Just a few minutes walk away. It is a beautiful, old building that is warm and cosy. Photo is the view from our bedroom. We had a double and single bed with a private bathroom.

    Very central in Doolin - close to bus stop and pub. Roaring log fire in the lounge area was very appealing with the icy temperatures outside. Ensuite double room was small, but comfortable and just what I expected. Big parking area behind the property so safe for rental cars.

    Beautiful location, Doolin is lovely and the property is basic but quite picturesque. We got good dinner and music recommendations from the front desk.

    It is rustic and lacking in things like sufficient plugs to charge devices and lights for each bed. It is also a 2 km walk from the nearest food store

    Can’t think of anything.

    Great location central to village bars and restaurants. Quiet, pretty spot. Cosy shared space with fireplace and board games. Nice staff. Lots of local info especially about wildlife. Close to the stunning Burren National Park. Private parking very convenient. You could easily meet and chat with other visitors in the shared kitchen/ dining/ sitting areas, if you wanted.

    All was fine. Maybe the shower could be change in the future to more useful.

    Extremely clean hostel, nice hosts, old lovely building, great location to reach all music pubs. The breakfast, additionally paid is simple but nice. Also a great place to meet people from all over the world - sitting together to have some meals or at the fireplace. Not noisy. What is important they have both dorm rooms anf family rooms with a private bathroom. It's not big but enough.

    I didn't like that the kitchen only opened at 8 AM, which meant I couldn't grab a coffee or breakfast before heading out for the day.

    I appreciated that they accommodated my late arrival and promptly responded to my message about it. I really liked the location—just a 2-minute walk from the bus stop. There are pubs and restaurants within walking distance. It's also easy to walk or take the bus to the Cliffs of Moher.

    Decent choice if you’re staying for cheap, but could be worth it to dish out the $ for a nicer stay.

    Good but not perfect location, it’s a bit of a walk from the main pubs, and quite far from the shoreline area. Window open to parking lot and very loud car woke everyone up. Drunk/druggy dude in the room. Beds and rooms are outdated and a bit old, but not unclean.

    Free and easy parking, relatively nice showers and sink area, kept pretty clean. People were generally friendly.
