As a 30-something year old guy, I was hesitant to stay in a hostel, but as I got a private, en-suite room, I figured I would deal with it.
Let me just say it was the best place I stayed on my stay in Ireland. Even better than some fancy hotels. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, but more than that, I met amazing people and ended up traveling with company from that point on. Hostels contain like minded people who want to explore and share experiences. I met friends for life there and can't wait to go back again.
As for Michael- if you have any questions or need advice on what to do, he can give you the rundown on everything in Dingle, Co Kerry, and Ireland in general. Great guy.
Checking in with Patrick was also a delight. Kind, informative, and polite.
Can't say enough about how great this place is. You won't regret a stay!
