Do Not book this hostel if you have other options in Letterfrack or Cliffden. The owner Stephan has a history or behavioural issues. Unfortunately I didn’t trust the reviews online and booked it for 3 days around christmas. The owner had an episode/fit of rage in the evening. Stephan shouted, abused and started throwing things around the whold living room in front of the other guests and physically intimidated females by getting too close and charging towards them while abusing. This whole thing lasted for 15 mins. Take it with a pich of salt but avoid this place as apart from this the hostel is poorly maintained. No locks on door even bathrooms. Either burning hot water or coldwater for shower and moulds.
