Frances
New Zealand“Excellent location--in walking distance to the lakes, the monastery and many hikes. The hostel had really friendly staff and a well-equipped kitchen. Though when I stayed, the kitchen did get really busy, so be prepared to wait for stove space....”- Conor
Ireland“The staff here are the best of all the hostels in Ireland I've stayed at. There's a Brazilian guy and a Taiwanese girl on reception. Very friendly, very helpful. Nice room, nice kitchen area. The Continental Breakfast was great.” - Cyril
France“I particularly liked the location. The hostel is right next to the main hiking trails and next to the main site of Glendalough. The atmosphere was really nice too, both adapted to solo travelers, backpackers and hikers on one hand and to large...” - Claire Ireland“Staff and kitchen facilities were great and really helpful.”
- Barry
