The place is cozy. The restaurant is great. I love the little town of Letterfrack and recommend the country store for breakfast. My only complaint would be that it was recommended to us by the staff to do the walk to Kylemore Abbey. Though its not far (4km), and very very scenic, the road itself is curvy with lots of blind spots in which cars are shooting by at 100kmh. There's no walking path at all, so they have to go around you into the other lane, which was very dangerous for us and the other drivers. Its not a reflection on the hostel, but more of a warning to fellow travelers. Unfortunately, that means the only option to Kylemore from Letterfrack is a taxi which round trip is about 10euro a person. Still not bad, but just a head's up.
