With free WiFi, printing, and luggage storage, the hostel also offers continental breakfast and a shared lounge. The reception staff can arrange tours to the Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, and the Aran Islands. Great breakfast! Not your usual sandwich bread and cheapest cereals, was pleasantly surprised. The kitchen is cozy The beds are comfy, the 16-people room is sort of divided into sections, so it doesn't actually feel crowded. All the staff I met were awesome. They give you free towels and change them every day. My room had the showers and toilets inside (I think it's not like this for all the rooms there). The location is perfect, right next to the starions, there's a Centra right in front of it and a bar in the same building.
