    Make sure to bring your own food for dinner if you’re hiking, there’s nothing nearby

    Right along the Wicklow way. Well maintained and pretty clean, and has drinks and snacks vending machines. Breakfast is 9 euro and fine.

    I would have liked more game boards or maybe a football table....

    Perfect for nature lovers and hikers. We went by car so not sure about the commuting but we saw a lot of busses. Silent place, superb view. Very good reception service.

    Could do with individual lighting/sockets for each bed

    Fantastic hostel nestled in the Wicklow mountains. I ended extending my stay twice and stay 10 nights! Everyone is extremely nice and friendly, the workaway people do a great job at looking after the place and the whole vibe is really chilled and friendly. Really one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at

    Lovely, clean hostel in a beautiful location on the Wicklow Way. The breakfast was fine, the staff were friendly. It was great there was a drying room

    There are no lockers available, and the parking spaces are not marked so struggled a bit with the parking as a lot of people took up two spaces (we managed to park but takes a lot of maneuvering). It would be nice if the rooms had a mirror or more power outlets

    Very clean, beautiful location. The beds were very comfortable, and the staff excellent.

    The only thing that wasn’t great was that our key cards stopped working randomly, and we couldn’t get into our room. But the staff said this was the first time they saw that happen

    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.

    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.
