I've been backpacking for 3 months and this is the worst place I have checked into so far. I left within an hour of arrival it was such a bad experience. I was told I must pay cash on arrival after giving my card details online. Went to the ATM and had to pay international fees to withdraw the cash, adding to the expense to stay. Got back and they had no change, so then would take my card.. Got up to the room and couldn't find any charging ports anywhere. Went for a shower, smelt of sewerage, water was cold. The shower set up means you are somewhat forced to put clothes on the floor, and the force of direction of the water caused my dry clothes to get wet. Spoke with reception about it all, their response was "we clean every day so it's not dirty" (??), and I was denied a refund. Not to mention that the place is just generally uncomfortable and doesn't really feel like the photos. It's very much overcharged, I just left without a refund. Wouldn't recommend.

I’m a solo traveler and I had a such amazing time at the Hostel. Everyone was so kind and friendly to me, as I was part of them, telling me about what I could do around the city, taking me to the best pub to have a perfect Guinness pint and also telling me the best places to have food and find some local souvenirs. The rooms and the shared bathroom was perfectly clean and we have a large common area/kitchen to chill/cook or just have a tea. Also the location is perfect, 3 minutes walking to the main street.

Great hostel for people who love the outdoors! Honestly the staff were so kind and helpful regarding things to do in Westport and ways to get around. I ended up climbing Croagh Patrick which was an absolute highlight of my Ireland trip with another solo traveler I met in the hostel kitchen. Honestly just had a really great time experience here everything regarding the cleanliness and staff and other people at the hostel was so fine. This is what a hostel should be!

A beautiful common area with everything you need for cooking, clean beds and rooms. The staff was also very friendly. Special mention to the young man at the reception who welcomed us warmly and gave us advice on places to visit in the surrounding area. I recommend it!

Stayed 2 nights I had to pay by cash although I had given my card details online. Luckily atm was just across the road, high charges though. Room was on the 2nd floor which didn't help lugging a big bag up the stairs. Room was warm and bed itself was comfortable and kitchen area was sociable. Bathroom was clean but could do with a dryer or hand towels. Location was handy, train station is about 12-20 mins walk depending on luggage, terrain was not flat. Overall a good experience, would stay again if travelling solo.

I enjoyed my stay here. A beautiful property set right by the river. Missed having a plug to charge my phone in the room, but other than that, awesome!

I stayed in a four bed mixed dorm on Friday, in fairness the room was fine but had no blind or curtain on window. So defo pack an eye mask. I was greeted by the receptionist Thomas and he was very kind and friendly. He gave me lots of local knowledge and information on Achill.The common area is a large kitchen and dining room. Breakfast was included brown bread, white bread, selection of jams, real butter, porridge and tea/ coffee. It is a great location beside all the pubs and restaurants. The parking is three euro for the day which is not bad at all. I just have to say this was the most pricey hostel I have stayed in and I have stayed in hostels all over the world. Check in 3.00pm or 3.30pm and check out 10am.
