“I’ll be back” ?

Created on 18 July 2021

Camped here many times with groups of kids and adults. Staff are always very friendly especially the owners Robert and Adva (hope I’ve spelled that correctly) Chilled sort of place, amazing location to explore the burren, cliffs of moher, best surfing, rock climbing and caving in ireland all a short drive away. As Arnie says “I’ll be back” ?

Very well run

very clean facilities

We are just back from a 2 night family camping trip... 2 couples and 7 kids between us, we were blown away with the warm welcome we received, very clean facilities from toilets, shower and kitchen. We had full use of all facilities.. hopefully we will get more bookings throughout the summer because we will most definitely be returning.

Where do I start? We LOVED the place! Super friendly staff, clean kitchen with access to everything, from gas stove to fridge, clean shower and toilets and a cozy sitting room with a lovely fire in the evenings and no extra costs. Also books, guitar and board games available.

Outstanding hospitality

We stayed in the private tipi and loved it! Would definitely recommend.

the best hostel of the area!

Created on 21 August 2019

Amazing place, the best hostel of the area! The living room with the fire and a cup of tea or coffee is really cosy. The friendly people; I had it cold and she gave me her hoodini; I had a little wound and they took care of it. The amazing kitchen where they have filtered drinking water. You can do your laundry for free and dry it for just €2. They serve breakfast for €1,5 and you have 3 options. It's a beautiful camping next to the river. We had such a great time over there! Thanks!

Amazing hostel & campingsite

Created on 21 August 2019

Very friendly and helpful staff! Beautiful location. Super well equiped kitchen with everything you need and more. Above all an amazing atmosphere in and around the hostel with a nice fireplace in the living room, which is very welcoming in rainy Ireland. The only downside of this hostel is that the next one won't be as good. ;) Stayed: August 2019

We stayed in the tipi tent

Created on 13 August 2019

We stayed in the tipi tent and it was a great experience. The hostel is in a good location in case you want to grab some food in a cafe or pub in the evening. We had a nice 2 h walk from the hostel to Cliffs of Moher, but there is bus stop close buy as well. Simple nice breakfast is available in the morning.

We had a great time.

Teepee was great, bigger than it looked in the pictures. Right beside the river which was nice. Stays nice and dry despite the winds and rain.

Highly recommend this hostel with camping facility, which we used, international feel, clean, well run, cooking facility very spacious with free tea and coffee available, large spacious fridges and storage for food for self catering, filtered drinking water a plus. we had our dog with which is also a plus and she was very well behaved, another couple also had a dog with and also very well behaved.Stormy night with bad rain but its location inside a walled off garden meant we were safe and protected.

beside the river which is really cool for the relaxing sound especially at night. Tipi is a bit bright at night due to surrounding lights so bring a travel/sleep eye mask if you need darkness to sleep. Hostel facilities are good and near the tipi. Location in Doolin is fantastic. Nice spot to stay.

Clean , local and everyone was very nice...

Really cool tipi on the hostel grounds so you can use all their facilities. Located 5 minute walk away from main pubs and restaurants in Doolin.

It was glamping at its finest

Created on 04 July 2019

The tipi was a perfect place to stay. It was a beautiful outdoor space with all of the hostel amenities. It was glamping at its finest. Our hostess was amazingly kind and gave us the suggestion to walk to the Cliffs of Moher. It was an hour and a half or more walk, and it was stunning the whole way! I would definitely recommend this experience!

As someone who loves the outdoors, I was absolutely thrilled to be able to stay in the tipi tent for five days! The tent is located right on the river, which was incredible, and the facilities in the hostel building were easy to access. I had an amazing trip and would definitely come again.

We felt very lucky to stay there

Created on 09 June 2019

The teepee was beautiful. Set in a quiet corner of the hostel grounds right next to the river, it was very peaceful. The staff were very friendly and it had all the usual hostel amenities.

We stayed in the tepe tent, it is positioned near a river it was very calming and it was a great experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. Loads of utensils to make breakfast in the morning. Near to local pubs which have music on from early in the day.

Een geweldige plaats om te overnachten, wij verbleven 3 dagen op de camping en mochten gebruik maken van alle faciliteiten van de hostel, voelt als thuis, love this place :-) :-) we komen zeker nog eens terug Date of stay: May 2019

Fantastic

Created on 08 August 2018

So easy to camp there, 9 euro a head, The location is perfect after being over to the islands all day to have grub and pints between the 3 villages of Doolin then off into our tent by the river. Excellent thank you

Wonderful!

Created on 08 August 2016

It is without hesitation the best hostel in our Irish journey! While the campground is a bit small but it is sheltered from the wind by stone wall, which is not insignificant in this windy area. Opportunity to visit the Cliffs of Moher the coastal path located steps. Common rooms (living room, dining room, kitchen ...) are a picturesque charm, peat fire and old stone floor. The inn offers a courtesy tea and coffee. The staff (speaking French to some) was very friendly and welcoming, even helping us to organize the rest of our trip with advice that we were very practical. Possibility of free use of the washing machine. Very good price / quality I highly recommend! Stayed July 2016, travelled as a couple

Amazing Tipi Camping

Created on 05 July 2016

We stayed for 5 nights in the tipi which is for hire at the hostel and we loved it! It's the perfect compromise when travelling on budget but wishing for some comfort, too. The tipi is very comfortable and spacious, it has a double bed (!), two chairs and a little table. Pillows and warm blanket are provided and they kept us warm even on a colder night. It's very easy to forget you are sleeping in a tent so don't be surprised if it gets a little noisy at windy and rainy nights.The hostel is great. We loved the kitchen - it's huge and very well equipped. Everything was comfy and clean and it's easy to make yourself at home there. The staff (Kelly and Heloise) are very friendly and helpful, too.We found the location perfect as a base for trips to the Cliffs of Moher (8 km from the hostel, overall a 16km hike in a very manageable terrain), the Burren or the Aran Islands. We couldn't wish for a better place to stay while exploring the western coast. Stayed June 2016, traveled as a couple

Camping de qyalite

Peu cher, bonne place pour poser la tente, wifi douche et lave linge gratuit, à quelques pas du début des cliffs of Mohers et du centre ville. La salle commune est chauffée au feu de bois, ce qui rend l'ambiance encore plus sympa!!!On y retournera avec plaisir :)A conseiller! Stayed August 2015, travelled as a couple

Ostello con posto tenda

Created on 17 August 2015

Ho scelto di soggiornare in questo ostello perché offriva la possibilità di piantare la tenda nel giardino. Quindi, non ho dormito in una delle camere, ma avevo comunque accesso a tutti i servizi, bagni, cucina e spazi comuni. Oltre ad essere collocato in una posizione davvero suggestiva (quasi idilliaca, sulla riva del fiume), ma anche comoda, rispetto al piccolo villaggio, l'ostello offre un ambiente accogliente, ospitale e caloroso. Un'ottima soluzione per una vacanza in tenda, piuttosto dei campeggi (a Doolin ce ne sono ben due), che, in generale in Irlanda, ho personalmente trovato poco pratici e privi di molte comodità e servizi.L'ostello offre anche la colazione, pagando un extra di euro 1,50: una salvezza per chi non ha portato con sé cibo e non vuole spendere molto, considerando che nel paesino non ci sono supermercati né piccoli negozi di alimentari. Stayed August 2015, travelled with friends

Très bel endroit

Created on 27 July 2015

Un hôtel qui propose un camping pour pas cher avec cuisine/douche/wifi gratuit c'est vraiment sympa pour s'arrêter et visiter les alentours. Personnel sympa. L'hôtel possède une pièce commune avec cheminée pour se réchauffer après de longue balade. Franchement je recommande Stayed July 2015, travelled with friends

Super!

Prix tout à fait raisonnable (en tout cas pour le camping), une ambiance chaleureuse et accueillante, pour ceux qui recherchent une certaine autonomie tout en ayant accès à une convivialité très sympathique. Hôtel typique et bien situé, bravo ! Stayed July 2015

Impeccable et sérieux

Created on 28 June 2015

Dormi sous tente, le prix n'était pas élevé (9e / per), et le terrain bien entretenu. Accès à tous les services de l'auberge, gratuitement. Poele au "bog", très appréciable par jour de pluie (autant dire tout le temps). Petit dej correct pour 1,50e, accueil chaleureux, et site bien situé dans le village.

Perfect Rest Stop for the Night

Created on 18 June 2015

We were travelling around Co. Clare, The Burren and Co. Galway on motorbikes. We were camping everywhere, but after visiting the Cliffs of Moher decided we were ready to camp for the night. We drove the short distance to Doolin and were delighted by Aille River Hostel. We were able to camp in the grounds but avail of the amenities (such as roomy warm showers, toilets, kitchen etc). And even though it was May, the wood-burning stove was most welcome to sit in front of before settling down for the night. Staff were superb, friendly and very helpful - would highly recommend.

Possibilité de camper dans le jardin

Accueil très chaleureux (après tout c'est l'Irlande), atmosphère détendue, conviviale... Il y a une âme dans cette auberge, et cela se partage !Avis aux routards : nous avons campé dans le jardin, c'était top !

A gem in Doolin

Created on 19 August 2014

My husband and I spent a perfect night camping in the grounds of Aille River Hostel in Doolin and what a privilege that was!. The camp site was perfect...level, soft earth and beautifully sheltered by a stone wall. The hostel itself is one of the best I've visited...immaculately clean, piping hot showers, very friendly and welcoming staff and owner, a wonderful wood burning stove and large kitchen....unfortunately we could only stay one night but we will be back both to enjoy the physical space and to meet more interesting characters. the icing on the cake was the fact that Glenedd our dog was welcomed and other guests even played ball and threw the stick for him so all in all thank you Robert and staff for a hugely enjoyable experience in the magical Aille River Hostel.
