I had the pleasure to meet Robert, Sinead's dad, who made me feel welcome in this very homely hostel from the first minute. I got a room all to myself and had a very comfortable bed for the night. The kitchen is well-equipped, everything is clean and I'm certain you'll feel at home in Aras Owen hostel. Although I only stayed one night I had a lot of time for interesting conversations with Robert, who is a very educated man (with a fine sense of humour ;), and I learned a lot in the time we spoke together. Also, he is the perfect example of Irish hospitality, because (among other things, of course) he drove me all the way to Letterkenny so I could continue my travels.
So, to anyone who wonders whether to come here or not, I say: do. You won't regret it :D
