    Late night street noise and interior doors were heavy and banged often. Place could use a bit of a refresh.

    It was a decent price and they offered laundry services.

    We arrived at 3pm to check in and found no one there with a sign saying they would be back around 3pm. The staff finally arrived around 3:30. She was very nice but is apparently a volunteer and didn't have a ton of knowledge about the area. The room was small but clean. You have to rent towels, we didn't realize that until a couple hours latwr and by then nobody was around to rent them from. Parking is very tricky. We were lucky to find a spot on the same small road but there were only a couple spots there. Other than that you would need to get lucky about finding street parking. For the price of the room, this didn't feel like the best value.

    It was located close to a lot of pubs and restaurants. Parking was free.

    Everything was good at The Grapevine Hostel! The room and facilities were clean, the kitchen very convenient, and the breakfast perfect too!! The owners were so kind and helpful, even went straight to the shop to get butter in the morning when there was none left. The location is perfect too.

    It's not exactly cheap but nowhere in Ireland is.

    Staff are very friendly and helpful, it's a good place to meet other travellers. It feels like you're staying in a friend's house while you're there. It was very quiet at the time of year I was there, the location is down a quiet side street just off the main street.

    Nothing to complain about or mention here. Staff were lovely and the facilities were great.

    The welcoming upon arrival felt warm and friendly, immediately we knew that this was a good space. The vibe of the building was great. Most notably it wasn't loud and full of people shouting or things like that which settled us in nicely. The room was cosy and comfortable with 8 beds in the shared dorm. Nice to have toilet, sink and shower in the room for us to use. The complimentary breakfast was a nice addition, consisting of toast with spreads as well as a selection of cereals. Having access to lockers in the rooms at no extra fee was also really comforting as I know other hostels will charge for that kind of service. A chalkboard in the lobby had suggestions on where to eat and drink nearby which gave a good sense of what is on offer nearby for those of us traveling in for a short stay.

    Unfortunately the accommodation was not up to our expectations when looking at the price. We knew we had booked a hostel and therefore the room would be simple but the bed was simply terrible and most of all the noise was a real disturbance, whether the noise was coming from outside or from inside the accommodation. We even thought at one point that people were in our room as we could hear them so clearly! The room was not very clean, and when we arrived our shower was not working. Although as soon as we told the lady at reception she contacted the owner who arrived in short notice to fix it up.
