I've just spent the weekend here, I was on a stag weekend. I was expecting the hostel to be just that, a hostel. But no, it's far more than that, it's like you'd expect a hotel to be. The ground's are well kept, the building itself is spotless, the rooms are really clean and the beds (we were in bunk beds) were so comfortable. The Continental breakfast was great, we surely didn't go hungry.
A wee note on the staff. The 2 young girls that booked us in were some craic, along with the owners, they made our stay memorable and they couldn't have been any more helpful.
I'd give the Croagh Patrick Hostel 10 out of 10. Thank you very much and I will be back.
