The place was very nice, warm, clean. But for 20 euros, a cup of milk and some cornflakes in the morning would be nice to have.

No computers for internet access... only wifi. Nice kitchen (but no microwave) and eating area, and the little garden looked very nice.

I had never stayed in a hostel before and I had been trying to avoid it, but I had a surprisingly great time at this one and I would stay there again. I felt at home. Its in a great location next to pubs with music right in the heart of Wexford.

It was a nice, quiet hostel. Power showers in the bathrooms and hot water, which not all hostels have! Would recommend if staying in Wexford, was a very nice hostel.

A cozy little hostel that I'd prefer than a large one filled with hundreds of people. Staff are nice. Location is good (afterall, Wexford is not that big). BTW, I slept in a lower bunk bed in a dorm and I found that there was not enough room to sit on the bed. Overall, recommended.

I put average for fun only because I didn't spend any time in the common areas - had a private room and was only there really to bunker down for the night.
