The staff were extremely kind and helpful. Anna was especially attentive. there were beautiful

As I was the only person staying here for three nights, as well as my sister for one night, we were both upgraded to en suite dormitories respectively. The hostel is clean and warm and the staff/volunteers were friendly and accommodating. Although slightly out of the way without your own transport, this hostel with fabulous views is a great base for anyone hiking in or exploring North Wicklow. Thanks again.

The only things: there were only 2 outlets in my 6 bunk dorm, and they were in a wall away from every bed. Not a huge deal for me, but if the room was full, it would be a bit rough. Also, was very hot at night with no way to remedy. Didn’t ask about it though, so maybe they could turn down the radiator by request.

I loved the location (be warned; the closest shop is 3 miles away. Be warned. There are vending machines but if u want food, it’s about 3 miles away.) The windows surrounding the property were beautiful, the scenery was gorgeous, and the vitality and attention to cleanliness of the staff were beyond reproach.

Fantastic location, great staff

Only downside was limited food options for purchase. Came prepared with lightweight backpacking food but would have purchased chocolate biscuits and more if for sale! Vending machine available but I craved chocolate digestives and bars of Cadburys!!

Great location for Wicklow Way. Friendly staff. Lots of space. Comfortable beds. Fabulous views. Friendly fun cat and her kittens roaming for entertainment.

I was missing the laundry machine and drying room. It would be handy when walking The Wicklow Way. Otherwise, it is a perfect hostel.

A beautiful place.

Shared dorm with a heavy sleeper meant a wakeful night for myself. Should have booked a private room!

€9 for breakfast I felt was steep

Leaving. Breakfast could have been a little more choice.

Very nice place to stay high in the hills

Booking did not let me know that the hostel offered breakfast for an additional cost but luckily others in the dorm told me.

Perfectly located hostel with amazing views. Lovely kind helpful staff.

Doesn't provide towels. During the stay there was a teenagers camp, which made the place very noisy after quiet hours but that wasn't really the hostel's fault.

Wonderful hostel for doing the Wicklow way hike. It has beautiful scenery around it and located right next to the WW path. The staff was very welcoming. There is a large kitchen available to prepare your own food, so make sure to bring the ingredients. There are also some vending machines for snacks and drinks.

Knockree Hostel is an amazing and friendly place!! The facilities were very clean, the room was warm, and the shared spaces very comfortable and welcoming!! The staff were very helpful and friendly too. It’s a very nice place to stay at, in the middle of the countryside, with a wonderful view on the sunrise above the mountains in the morning! The location is also perfect to join the Wicklow Way, only a 10 min walk. Thank you Knockree Hostel!!

Thank you to the woman at the reception who gave me a map and information about the Wicklow way. I made it over the mountains to the Lus Mor B&B. Another great stay at this hostel!

Although we couldn’t turn the heat on in the room, the staff did bring a small portable heater that was sufficient.

I would certainly prefer a later check out time.

Incredibly comfortable mountain hostel with gorgeous views. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bring supermarket food because there are good kitchen facilities.
