Michael's hostel is perfectly located in the center of Dingle. The sea, the harbour, the main shopping streets, a lot of pubs and restaurants, at least 2 supermarkets, bike rentals and a lot more nice things are all within a 1 to 10 minute walking distance. Since it is not located in one of the main streets itself it was quiet there.
Our room itself was clean, comfortable and also spacy. But I have to say that the pillows were hard and thin so we did not sleep very well. And the water in the shower was very weak. For me this was okay, but for a girl or a guy with long hair it will be difficult to wash their hair there. And the wifi-connection in the room was awful. It worked well downstairs in the common areas but up in our room it was difficult to get a connection.
The common areas were also clean and offered everything we needed. But I do really have to complain about one thing: the receptionist told us that the kitchen and even the dining room were closed and locked between 21:00 and 8:00. This means you are forced to cook, eat, drink coffee/tea, wash up, store your food only in between 8:00 and 21:00. This might be no problem in most situations, but if you want to make a longer tour by bike or have to check out early in the morning to catch a bus like we had to, it is!!! We had to leave at 7:00 for an 5 hour bus drive and there was no chance to get a coffee or prepare some sandwiches in the morning. If we would have had stored some food that has to be stored in a fridge, we would have had to leave it there or to take it with us in our room for the night (alkohol and food in the rooms are strictly forbidden). We talked to the receptionist, but she said there was no way to help us. Michael should really overthink his kitchen policy or at least inform about these conditions at the airbnb description.
But even since we were not so happy about some things: all in all we had a good time in the hostel and were happy to stay there and yes we would choose Michael's hostel again.
