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.

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 !

ruime gezellige zithoek zicht op de rivier met waterspreeuw en citroenkwikstaart!!

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…
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…
We had a lovely time and met such interesting people during our stay. The laundry, breakfast and location were perfect for our family.
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.
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.
Stayed August 2014, travelled as a couple
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…

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...
100% 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,…
