Be prepared for a true hostel. It is a no-frills place with great access to Diamond Hill, Letterfrack and Kylemore Abbey. The communal bathroom is dark and lacking water pressure. During Covid, the shared bar soap at the bathroom sinks is not ideal and should at least be replaced with pump soap. It is a quirky, cute place that just needs some minor fixes for safety and cleanliness. If that was taken care of, we would stay again as we enjoyed Stephen's banter with us at breakfast.
