Es un albergue muy agradable en la costa, a 10Km de los acantilados de Moher. Tananto para la puerta de entrada como para la de la habitación te dan una clave de modo que no hay hora de cierre. Se aparca muy bien al lado del albergue.

People coming into our room at 4 am to party, the noise all night, the place got so dirty it was impossible to have a shower there in the morning! (well if you don't mind puke..). The staff = one guy on his own, couldnt manage at all! he called the garda at some stage but damage was done. Of course,I wont come back.close

We would have appreciated to sleep. The fire alarm rang all the night and the cleanliness of the bathroom is more than poor!

staff worked hard ..my room was wee bit crowded ..they should have stopped at 2 bunk beds instead of stuffing in a 3rd. Was a wee bit of a walk to the toilet ..esp after a few pints of the brown stuff !but lovely to be so near the sea, surf and the pub sessions

Grand hostel for a night in Lahinch. Dunno if i'd stay there much longer than that though! Pretty small rooms. Very tight showers. Looked like a great kitchen though. Very good value for money.

It was however one of the most basic hostels I've ever stayed in,but the showers were good and powerful which made a difference. There wasn't any plug hole in the room which was a bit inconvenient, I don't think that's a major ask. I gave it such a poor security rating because one of the nights we were there a bunch of people not booked in were let into the hostel(the attendant let them in when they knocked on the door at about 3 in the morning). These people then took someone elses' beds, and when the girls returned later they found their clothes thrown on the floor and strangers in their beds.close

The rooms were dirty and there were no linen. The covers were not clean and it was kind of disgusting to sleep there. Besides, heating was not working... so cold on December!! I would not recommend this hostel.

It is possible for the hostel to install handles on the bathrooms door. It is difficult to open it from the inside. Thank you for our excellent stay at Lahinch!!!

Situation geniale (vue sur plage de Lahinch, doux bruit de la mer pendant la nuit). Auberge simple, mais avec toutes les commodites. Accueil sympathique, prix de meme. Apparemment paradis des surfers. Proprete acceptable. Demander aux tenanciers ou ne pas garer sa voiture.

The staff (a boy) was very silencious. the house was sad and without soul. the kitchen was opened only at 8.30. Too late. The kitchen was old. This house is not to stay several days.
