    it was quite noisy at night with other guests slamming doors in and out even with quiet times posted (not facilities fault).

    Great location and good price. Site and amenities as pictured.

    The only thing that was somewhat irksome was that the shower requires your to press a button nearly continuously to get water. It makes getting clean difficult.

    This was a very affordable way to stay in Doolin. The room was clean, and it was very nice to have an in suite bathroom and shower. It does comfortably sleep 4 (in 3 beds) but be aware that the room is small and might not be good to stay with a family for more than a few nights. It was a very good experience for us, though.

    It would have been good if the communal kitchen area were open earlier than 8 AM, so we could access our food in the fridge and get started a little earlier in the day.

    The location was great, the staff was friendly, and the living area was cozy and comfortable.

    Though there is a policy that noise should be up until 11pm, I still heard people laughing on the hallway (which is not the place’s fault).

    Place is very near the centre. Around 20 min walk to Doolin pier. 2 min walk to bus stop (Bus Eireean drop and pick up). Firz pub is just 2 minute walk as well. The receptionist (forgot her name) was lovely and accommodating. I asked if I can leave my stuff before going on a tour in the morning and they are more than willing to accomodate. There is a tourism office nearby if you want to book any tours. So technically, the place is quite accessible to everything. Good place to stay if your just crashing in after a tiring trip outside. Tips: Bring your own toiletries and towel. If you are going on a tour in the morning and have a backpack or small luggage, it’s wise to leave it on the hotel prior to check in or if going to Aran Islands, you can ask the tour company if you can leave your stuff. This makes the trip easier without bringing too much stuff on a tour.

    Too much cleaning gear in the bathroom, small bedroom. Minor issues however.

    Greeted warmly. Facilities are old but we’ll-maintained. Easy walk to all pubs, music, dining. Bed was small but comfortable, shower was hot.

    Although sheets and blankets and pillows are included, be sure to bring your own towels.

    Location was great, and they have a car park. And I liked that you could have a private bathroom when traveling with children.

    We were unaware towels were not provided, and we were not traveling with our own towels. Fortunately a few towels were provided when asked, but not enough for each person in our group. We only stayed one night, and not everyone needed a shower, but please know to bring your own towels!

    Excellent location, great parking, easy check-in and check-out, walkable to restaurants and pubs, picturesque surroundings, suitable beds, and laundry facility available. Eco-friendly with water-saving push-button shower, and towels available upon request. Clean bed linens and no-nonsense, make-your-own breakfast provided. Our group ranged in age from 6 years to teenagers to adults in their 40s.

    The woman running the place was a bit abrupt but the bloke was very helpful.

    It was in a good spot. I haven't rated it that well but I guess in this instance, you get what you pay for. It was a reasonable price but I wouldn't call it great value for money.

    We had a great stay, and were kindly offered a larger room when we arrived. Close to Cliffs of Moher trail, short drive from Doolin Cave, 30 minute walk to harbour to leave for Aran Islands. Facilities were great, had lots of room and utensils in kitchen, and comfortable communal rooms. Staff were lovely and we’d definitely recommend!
