We spent only one night here but it was great!
The spirit between everybody was great, the fire was on and the fireplace was a great place to start conversations! It is a beautiful place and right across the street there was a pub with great live music! If I ever go back, I´ll stay in the Allie River Hostel for SURE!
Everything about this place was great- comforting, comfortable, the people were very nice, and our group slept super well. We only stayed one night, but we all would have loved to stay more. We thought it was well worth the money!
We reserved the private double room with a separate entrance. It was perfect. Check in was simple and the girl at reception was friendly and efficient. We stayed one night and had absolutely no complaints. Perfect
This was my best experience at a hostel in Ireland so far. The common room was cozy, (with a peat-burning stove!) and was the perfect size to meet people and talk but small enough that it didn't get too loud or overwhelming. Staff made me feel so at home. They were so kind. The beds were comfortable, the rooms pretty big, and the building itself was absolutely magical. Think Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The kitchen was easy to use and huge. Over all - everything I hoped for and more!
Honestly have nothing but good things to say. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Cool atmosphere and fun people there that all want to share experiences with.
Absolutely loved it here. You wont be disappointed. Just a short walk to the cliffs. All you could really want right?
Everything about this place was amazing! The people you met staying there, the staff, and locals all Turkey spectacular. No complaints what so ever; the best place we have stayed at and will be returning as soon as we can! Helpful, clean, safe.. Feels just like home !
Personnel très Accueillant, endroit chaleureux, non loin des falaises de Moher.
This Hostel is excellent value for money and the staff were very friendly.It was the perfect location for us as we were attending a wedding directly across the road.Fab little garden x
Reserved a private room and could not have asked for more. Perfect!
Una meraviglia di posto. Staff gentile e disponibile. Atmosfera magica.
My Favorite hostel in Ireland! Very clean, the BEST atmosphere and close to everything. Trust me, you NEED to stay here. I can't believe the hospitality they offer! The view of the creek is exceptional and it's very close to say high to joe, the donkey of doolin!
This hostel was one of the best ones I ever stayed in. The atmosphere was really great and relaxed, and the staff was very helpful and friendly! It was a nice small hostel, and the services they offered were great. The rooms were also really nice and very clean. The prices are very low compared to the great rooms and services you get for it! I would really recommend it!
I really enjoyed this place. The warm fire at night, clean rooms and community feel.
Furthermore, they really care about the place and everything works!
We had the breakfast option of oats and a coffee and then jumped on a ferry to the small island. We asked questions and they provided great advice.
Wow quelle magnifique première journée en Irlande avec cette auberge. Super accueillant et chaleureux, on se sent chez soi, super propre, feu de cheminée. Je recommence x 1000 cet endroit. Il y a également un stationnement!
This was my first time visiting this hostel. It was my favourite in Ireland. The common room was a great space full of great people. The kitchen is very big. Bathrooms are the cleanest I've seen in most hostels-- very good to see! I great wifi. Perfect location for many activities such as boat tours, Aran islands, cave, cliffs, food and music. I hope I can be here again some day.
Lovely hostel with a very nice, relaxed atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and the place was immaculate. Wish I could have stayed another night!
This was such a charming place! It had all the amenities you would need and the view from our window was so picturesque.
This is the best hostel we have stayed in in Ireland. Location is very close to aran island tours, as well as cliffs of moher. we stayed 2 nights, one day for each of the location. Kitchen is big, with lots of room to cook, enough space for a lot of people to maneuver in the kitchen. Very sturdy bunk beds. plenty of handing hooks in room and bathroom. free use of laundry machine is a big plus.
Probably the best hostel I've stayed at in Ireland! Loved the fireplace and the vibe. Cannot fault anything! Will be staying again hopefully :)
La meilleure auberge de notre séjour à tous points. L'endroit est très bien situé, l'auberge charmante et impeccable. L'équipe de réception sympa, pro et uax petits soins.

great atmosphere with a very cosy common room and friendly staff. during my trip to ireland it was by far the loveliest hostel i stayed in and i would absolutely recommend it!
Nice cottage in the middle of Doolin, near the path for the Cliff of Moher. A big living room, great kitchen, nice staff.
This is such a cute hostel! We loved it. Right near the bus stop and in walking distance of the Cliffs of Moher (strenuous walking though). The staff were helpful and the first place was clean.
I was very impressed with the Allie River Hostel and enjoyed my stay immensely. The staff were very helpful, informative and friendly and the availability of free tea and coffee was a God send. The log fire lounge room was very relaxing, the kitchen spacious, clean with good facilities and the room was clean. My favourite aspect is the idyllic river at the front.
Beautifully situated, extremely kind staff. Great atmosphere to get to know others in the hostel ! 10/10
This was a nice hostel clean and owner is passionate to keep it that way. It's right on river brook so you wake up and having morning coffee outside in peaceful setting.
Accueil excellent , ambiance chaleureuse et cosi ( la cheminée de la pièce principale y est pour beaucoup !! ) la chambre parfaite et propre ... Super cuisine pour préparer ce que l'on a envie ( étagère et frigidaire a disposition pour stocker ses denrées) il y a aussi des épices, café, sucre, huile ...en libre service ... Et enfin le jardin à proximité d'un petit court d'eau dans lequel on peut traîner, lire , boire un verre ... Que dire d'autre .... Doolin est une ville paisible à proximité des cliffs moher où d'autres sites bien mieux à voir comme sans doute la plus petite cathédrale du monde, des châteaux, des sites préhistoriques .. petit plus cette région pour les visites est particulièrement bien documentée !!!!
We only stayed one night in this Hostel but could have stayed longer.
everything is lovely about the place, the outside of the Hostel is beautiful, green, with a small river next to the entrance, a lovely donkey staying on the other side of the road.
The staff was very welcoming, helped us to get information for our excursions. The common areas were big, warm, there even was a fireplace !
The kitchen is big, with everything needed to cook, tea and coffee, The area is quiet, the beds are comfortable.
The town is really small, but you have to do 3 kms to get to a "supermarket" (to get some food).
lovely little place- staff were incredible. Robert even let me park in his drive for four days as the car park was full! Added bonus is that it is central and so close to various landmarks. I will be going back one day :)
Un ostello meraviglioso,sembra di essere in una favola.lo staff gentile.cucina molto attrezzata.il paesino,Doolin molto carino..panorama eccezionale...vivere in mezzo la natura.nei pressi un pub,dove si mangia benissimo,con birre anche del luogo.
Stayed August 2015, travelled as a couple
Es exactamente lo que ofrece. Dentro de Doolin es el mejor emplazamiento en cuanto a paisaje, junto al río y en un viejo molino de piedra reformado.
La habitación era limpia, cómoda y agradable.
La zona común donde los diferentes viajeros del Hostel pueden compartir espacio, conversaciones o juegos de mesa, así como preparase un te o un café en la cocina compartida, junto a la chimenea, es realmente encantador.
Su relación-calidad-comfortabilidad-precio hacen de este lugar un establecimiento realmente recomendable.
Cet établissement est très bien situé, a proximité des cliffs of moher, et autres sites à visiter. Le lieu est charmant, très propre, accueillant. Un superbe jardin ou coule une rivière. A l'interieur une salle a manger avec cheminée et grande cuisine. Les chambres sont tres douillettes. Je recommande !!
Stayed August 2015, travelled with friends
We stayed here just one night but we appreciated both hostel and location very much. Doolin is a wonderful little village and very convenient to visit the Cliffs of Moher. The Hotel was great. Very beautiful building, nice and helpful staff. Our room ensuite was a sort of dependance: very nice, even if a bit small. Anyway very clean.
Nous avons passé 3 nuits à Doolin, l'auberge est parfaite.
Très bonne situation, cuisine impeccable et très grande. Accueil très sympathique, malgré un retard de notre part. Prix très attractif, et belle petite chambre.
Rien à dire.
è in una posizione pittoresca vicino al fiume, è una fattoria trasformata ad ostello. E' un'ottima scelta, ci sono i caminetti alimentati a torba e una lavanderia gratuita, c'è un bel giardino, è molto pulito e silenzioso. Nell'accogliente sala comune sono nate molte amicizie.
Une très jolie auberge au bord d'une rivière!
Le personnel est très sympathique, avant et pendant le séjour: ils nous ont donné des conseils sur les tours possibles dans la région.
La pièce commune est agréable, avec possibilité de prendre son petit dej sur place.
Angenehme Backpacker Atmosphäre. Frühstück für 1,50 Euro unschlagbar. Zimmer sind einfach aber sauber, das Personal ist mehr als freundlich. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist top. Nähe zu den Cliffs of Moher ist super.
It was adorable. Friendly guests. Clean showers. And a sizeable breakfast for 1.50€
Charming guest house, in an old building, but neat and clean., young atmosphere, free WIFI, free laundry (drying at a cost of 2-4 euros). We stayed in a very nice private room for four people, with a shower and toilet.
Staff was VERY Helpful. It was very homey in the fireplace area with the comfy rocker and Irish music playing!!
Ein super schönes, gemütliches Hostel. Eines der besten in Irland. Die Küche lädt zum Kochen ein und am Abend sitzt man gemütlich vor dem Kamin.
A great hostel located in the centre of Doolin close to bars and bus links, but yet very quiet! There is a magnificent atmosphere in the common area, rooms were excellent considering their cheapness, and there is a great self service kitchen! Staff were very friendly also and wifi works great! Certainly lives up to its "home away from home" slogan! Would definitely stay again!
This little hostel is a small slice of paradise. Everything was perfect, the breakfast was affordable and really good, sitting areas were nice, beds were wide and very comfortable, rooms had good windows and enough space, outdoor seating area was lovely. Doolin is fantastic, small and peaceful. One of the best stays of my trip!
This place is perfect - I felt so at home and Doolin is fabulous. The wifi works great, the rooms are spacious with windows and the beds are solid, comfortable, and roomy. There's laundry and a huge self serve kitchen with a cheap, good breakfast option and plenty of pubs for dinner nearby. The staff are super helpful in directing you to the nearby attractions, and the Cliffs of Moher are a gorgeous hike away. The lawn near the river is perfect for sitting and reading - can't wait to be back!
Das liebenswerteste Hostel was ich in Irland besucht habe, es gibt Zimmer und einen sehr schönen Zeltplatz für wirklich faire und angemessene Preise, es ist sehr sauber und das Personal ist super freundlich. Man fühlt sich sofort willkommen! Es gibt eine schöne Küche und als Camper darf man diese auch nutzen, es gibt einen sehr gemütlichen Aufenthaltsraum und das Personal sorgt jeden Abend für eine angenehme Atmosphäre mit einem Kaminfeuer. Man kann umsonst sein Kleidung waschen und für einen wirklich sehr schmalen Taler auch Trocknen. Ein sehr schöner Nebeneffekt des Aufenthaltsraum ist das man sehr gut und sehr schnell mit anderen netten Besuchern des Hostels in Kontakt kommt wodurch sich schnell auch mal ein sehr schöner Abend mit Kartenspielen oder einem Besuch in einem der örtlichen und auch sehr schönen Pubs ergibt. Zufriedener könnte ich hier nicht sein! :)
This cute cottage of a hostel was perfect for us bicycling around the area and others following a similar plan! We were able to use their FREE washing machine and air dry our clothes. The city of Doolin is very small, but just near this hostel there is a small collections of shops and restaurants that are only a few feet away so the location is really ideal. The staff were really helpful with all our questions about biking related trips and distances and the complications of storing our bikes.
Posto surreale casettina di sassi magnifica... Ho prenotato la camera matrimoniale con il bagno privato... Be piccola ma cmq molto molto carina noi abbiamo soggiornato solo una notte ma ci sarei rimasta in eterno....
:) l'ostello è bellissimo. Molto curato , immerso nel verde, personale molto gentile e simpatico, facilmente raggiungibile con i mezzi pubblici consigliato sicuramente.
mia ha incantato la struttura e come é composto l'interno con le stanze i bagni e la cucina: molto raccolto e accogliente
Un endroit très agréable où si vous voulez vous reposer devant un bon feu et sécher vos pieds lorsque l'irlande pleut à ne plu en pouvoir ;)
Chambre propre et douche chaude. Cuisine spacieuse et équipée. Prévoir quelques courses ( pas de shopping a proximité) en revanche choix de Pub !
L'hostel propose un ptit déj complet pour 1€50.
Personnel très sympa et sérieux !
ruime gezellige zithoek zicht op de rivier met waterspreeuw en citroenkwikstaart!!
Absolutely loved the Ailee River Hostel, beautiful place, really clean and great atmosphere.
They even have a Nespresso machine. Would 100% recommend it.
Clean, welcoming and keen to help ,second d time at the hostel and will happily return!
Chouette et accueillante auberge, bien agencée et fonctionnelle... Un feu de bois et une douce musique nous a réjoui chaque soir...
Esta a unos 10 km de la los acantilados de Moher,en un pueblo marinero llamado Doolin,y desde allí hay una ruta frente al mar preciosa de 9 km,desde allí salen los barcos para la isla de Aran.El personal fantástico ,la cocina inmejorable,el desayuno es 1,50 euros a escoger entre huevos y pan o cereales y leche(para mi escaso),wifi excelente,dormitorios buenos con buenos colchones y camas,incluso desde fuera se ve una casa de piedra preciosa.
We had an amazing time at Aille River Hostel. It is by far the best hostel I have ever stayed in! Great location to the Cliffs of Moher, and Aran Islands Ferry.
If you are visiting Doolin, you must stay here. The room was clean and bathrooms were spotless. Beds were comfortable and the atmosphere at the hostel is second to none. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and cost only 1.5 euro.
COME TO THIS HOSTEL!!
Very quaint and hospitable. Our host was extremely friendly and helpful. Free tea and coffee all day and a fire at night... can't beat that!
The Aille River Hostel is a cozy little hostel. We had a very nice double room with river view and a small bathroom. It was very clean, no matter if you were in the shared restrooms, the kitchen or the private restrooms.
The bed was comfortable and it was quiet, allthough the hostel was rather busy. The staff was helpful and very friendly.
Stayed June 2015, travelled as a couple.
My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights at the end of June. The hostel is really cool, with plenty of facilities for guests. The staff were very friendly and there was no issue with our late evening arrival and staying around for a while before our departure. Good mix of families and backpacking tourists staying here, adding to a nice relaxed vibe.
We had a lovely time and met such interesting people during our stay. The laundry, breakfast and location were perfect for our family.
Stayed here for the Doolin Folk Festival 2015. Had a ball at the festival and was situated in close proximity to pubs, restaurants etc.
Clean, nice staff, comfortable beds, great value, would definitely stay again.
Wonderful place, great staff very friendly, nice kitchen with everything you could need, espresso machine. Nice fire place. Best place!
A clean and very cosy hostel. Friendly, welcoming stuff. Compared to other hostels rather expensive, but i guess for a touristy area it is ok. Doolin is a cute, small village, but with some nice pubs very alive. I definitly enjoyed my stay, i even stayed an extra night! It is definitly the place to stay when in Doolin!
From start to finish Aille River surpassed expectations. We made our reservations online and recieved an email requesting confirmation of our reservations a few days prior to arrival with directions that included GPS coordinates. Since our plans were set, I sent the confirmation immediately. We were greeted upon arrival and felt at home immediately. There was just a coulple hours of daylight left but using the proffered advice we were able to see a wonderful sunset with the ocean and the cliffs. I recommend taking the breakfast option for a mere €1.50. (a choice of fruit and nut muesli OR an egg, irish soda bread + butter, jam OR soft cheese, tea or coffee. You will have to fix the eggs yourself but the kitchen is very spacious and friendly for multiple users. Evening entertainment within a very short walking distance. Highly recommended and we would definitely return.
Arrived late on a Sunday evening, past check in time and found the owner very accommodating and friendly. Lovely little hostel with a lovely stove in the common area. If cheap and cheerful are what you are looking for then I would strongly recommend the Allie River Hostel.
a lovely hostel in a beautiful location with a cheerful, friendly and accommodating owner. as group of 6 adults travelling, we arrived late which was no problem for the owner, the room was big and the beds were comfortable
My son and I are traveling across, up, and down Ireland. Our first two nights were at the Aille River Hostel and it was beyond my hopes. It was so charming, I had the most picturesque view from my room. We had one full size bed and one twin with a wall separating so a bit of privacy. It was clean, the staff were friendly and so were the guests. Doolin is such a great town. We're now planning on ending our trip there while taking in a music festival in town. I highly recommend this place.
The cutest hostel to match an exceedingly cute town!
We really enjoyed our stay here and had a nice time talking to the owner who was very sweet. Would and will stay here again!
The most pleasant hostel in the world. Cosy, warm, lovely staff.
Been there twice and hoping to stay again for the doolin festival. If you are staying in Doolin, STAY HERE!
Great location in the small town of Doolin. The hostel had small lockers which was greatly appreciated.
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly when we arrived. Great atmosphere!
Favorite hostel I've stayed in so far. It has a cozy, cottage like feel with a great environment and perfect location.
You can walk to the cliffs from here. The receptionist is such a kind lady.
Definitely the loveliest place we've been! Perfect hostel to calm down after an exciting day around the Cliffs of Moher and to meet other travellers!
Simply loved it, nothing more to say...
Wunderschönes Hostel neben einem kleinen Bach gelegen. Ein pub mit livemusik ist auf der anderen Strassenseite und die Cliffs of Moher sind innert kürze erreichbar. Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Am Abend brannte ein turf feuer im Kamin, wir haben es richtig genossen, vielen Dank.
Cadre très charmant (ruisseau, feu de cheminée, boiseries à l'ancienne), service et personnel au rendez-vous, propreté impeccable, le séjour idéal !
LOVED staying here! Doolin is a beautiful town and the walk to the cliffs was amazing. Have already recommended this hostel to friends traveling to Ireland and will continue to do so.
The owners are great and super hospitable. 10 out of 10 from me!
The hostel was clean, warm, friendly, safe, and all the good things in between! It was really close to the Cliffs of Moher and the staff was able to answer all of my questions from a good sunset hike to the food around. They had a clean towel I was able to borrow and their facilities were extremely clean. They also had a really nice pub across the street. I truly enjoyed the nice fire with background Irish music while I took advantage of their wifi. It was a truly a warm and lovely hostel.
Очаровательный и уютный ночлег прямо таки на краю света, дружелюбная и заботливая хозяйка Ройсин: если вы сюда добрались,
то точно не пожалеете.
It was truly the best hostel we have stayed at!
Rosine and Robert went out of their way to ensure we had the best time on our holiday; and we did! The week we spent there was definitely not enough so we will be coming back! If you're looking for the perfect getaway and holiday experience then head over to Aille River- you won't be disappointed :) thanks again for everything guys, love Luce and Chlo!
I love this hostel! The staff were wonderful and welcomed me as if I had been there 100 times. The kitchen was well equipped and the free tea and coffee were a bonus. The rooms and facilities were really clean and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was very cheap and packed with protein which really set me up for the day's hiking (it was much better than some free 'light' breakfasts I have had in other hostels). The hostel was warm and comfortable and has a very special atmosphere
For me, the staff running a hostel make all the difference. Robert is so warm, welcoming, gracious, and generous that it was really a pleasure. On top of that, the room was comfortable and nice and the kitchen was large and easy to use, inexpensive breakfast possible there. The location is right between the two parts of Doolin. I'd recommend going to one of the there main pubs for food and music rather than the place closest to the hostel. We had a wonderful stay at Aille River and would definitely return.
Ho soggiornato per 2 notti presso questo hotel ed è stato tutto fantastico...a partire dall'ambiente esterno molto pittoresco, lo staff gentilissimo e sempre disponibile.la camera e il bagno erano di dimensioni ridotte ma onestamente a me va bene così! !lo consiglio vivamente
Un albergue muy limpio, personal muy amable, habitaciones correctas, perfecto para pasar 1 o 2 noches. Relación calidad-precio fantástica.
Très bon accueil avec des cookies! Maison très chaleureuse, grande cuisine, petit salon au coin du feu. Chambre simple mais propre, bonne literie
If you have a chance to stay in Doolin, DO NOT pass this hostel up. A must select!!
We (four of us) were visiting Ireland for 6 days and stayed at 3 hostels and two hotels. This was the very best of all of them. A true jewel as a hostel. We reserved a four person room with a private en suite (bathroom). Every aspect of the stay was exquisite, room, kitchen, showers, visiting room, and host. Words are hard to describe the comfort that was felt immediately upon arriving. We were giving in-depth advice on what to visit the night we arrived and the next. The picture doesn't lie on how the hostel looks. Next to a brook, and walking distance (45 seconds) to a bar/restaurant across the bridge. It had live traditional Irish music the night we visited.
Oh yea, the Cliffs of Mohr are there to also to visit.
“The location!!
Beautiful restaurants within 2minutes walk! Garage and shop near by and the cliffs of mohar was a 10 minute drive with the most spectacular views along the way! Hostel itself was so homely and welcoming and free tea and coffee! Great value for money!! The views from the hostel were amazing! picnic tables outside the hostel by the river :) we cannot wait to go back!”
Auberge très sympathique, à quelques minutes des Cliffs.
Le personnel est attentionné, la chambre double ne manquait de rien. Super !
Great spot, we stumbled into it by accident, it's the best hostel I've ever stayed at. Great value for money.
Das Hostel war das schönste was ich in ganz Irland besucht habe! !
Danke dafür! !
This is probably the best hostel I've ever been at, and I've done some hostel-hopping around Europe.
It feels just like a home. The hosts are very friendly and very welcoming, but they give you your space. Cozy interior and a beautiful setting. I highly recommend it!
I would move here in a split second. We were late arriving to the hostel and the lovely front desk guy stayed late for us. The hostel was not what I expected at all. It was CLEAN, large kitchen, hot showers, laundry facilities on site. The best food ever is just across the little creek. Oh and our room was like a little cottage room. There was two beds separated by a wall and a window that overlooked the creek. I thought it was pretty romantic. I will definitely come back and stay here.
Ostello meraviglioso, nel pittoresco villaggio di Doolin, vicinissimo alle Cliffs of Moher (fermata bus della compagnia nazionale BusEireann a pochi metri)
e dieci minuti a piedi dal piccolo porto dove partono i traghetti per le isole Aran. Camere accoglienti e pulite, igiene soddisfacente, grande cucina e zona comune con caminetto e sedia a dondolo.
Proprietari amichevoli e disponibili, un pc comune con internet e wifi. Per 1,50 si può avere una colazione con due uova, pane, marmellata, burro. Uno dei migliori ostelli irlandesi.
Se siete a Doolin andate al O'Connors pub, ottima cucina e Guinnes a volontà!
We spent two very pleasant nights here. We stayed in the double ensuite room. The hostel is wonderfully located and Robert is warm and welcoming. The cooking facilities are great and in the evening it's great to eat a meal with the fire burning and the music playing. I'd recommend the breakfast for 1,5 euros too,
Like visiting old friends! You walk in to a warm cozy fireplace areas, where there were likely people sitting drinking their tea wanting to chat and hear about your day! The staff was flexible and casual, very accommodating! Tea and coffee always readily available free of charge.
The beds are a little warn, and it can get noisy at night but that is expected in a hostel and I am sure if we called it would have been handled.
The location could not have been better, in the center of Doolin and walking distance to everything, I truly cannot wait to go back!
