Stayed here for two nights before starting our hike on the Dingle Way and two more after the hike. Steve is a great host. He agreed to store our luggage for us while we hiked the Dingle Way. Rooms are slightly cramped but unless you plan to stay in your room all day it's not an issue. The dining area... More

this hostel was great, rooms were a little packed, but they were comfortable and towels provided. i did think though that the price was a little expensive, but it was clean and had better reviews then the other hostel in Tralee. the guy from finland was friendly aswell.

This hostel was fairly quiet when I went in October 2010, which was nice, The rooms were fine and clean and the washroom was large and private, which is good. The only problem was the water pressure was very low - so the water was barely coming out at all, and I couldn't figure out how to get the hot... More

We booked a double room in this hostel after reading good reviews on this site. But when we arrived the room was so dirty we had to leave and stay somewhere else. The bed, shower and sink had hairs (all sorts) all over them. It seemed like the room hadn't been cleaned at all. The hostel owner was very polite... More

The rooms and bathroom as... More

This is a great family owned hostel. Steve is a fantastic host and goes out of the way to make sure that you have everything you need. It was clean, the room was a reasonable size and it was the best night sleep I have had in Ireland (I stayed in 6 different locations and hostels). If I was to... More
