We went to Doolin for two days and have a night in the Hostel. All was clean, comfortable and close to everything you want to do there... This is a nice place to be where i will come again ! The staff is very kind, sympatic. What more can you ask? Nothing but to be always the same. Thank you very much for the welcome.

Friendly welcome and cozy fireside with several spaces to gather. My husband and I were passing through town and only staying one night, so we got a private room instead of the full hostel experience. Huge kitchen with lots of…

Nice atmosphere with cozy fire, benches, and communal tables to eat at. Well laid out, massive kitchen. Dimmable lights in bedroom was a good touch! Lockers in rooms appreciated. You have to pay for breakfast (€2) but it's the cheapest…
Allie River Hostel is amazing! The staff are so welcoming and provide wonderful tips. The hostel has such a cozy environment. I will definitely be staying here again!!

Our stay here was quaint perfection. The hostel is conveniently located near the Cliffs of Moher and walking distance to local pubs. The river is serene and the accommodations were clean and comfy. We had a private room and private…

We stopped in Doolin for one night on probably the worst weather day of the year. We made it to the visitors center for the Cliffs of Moher. It was cold, rainy and even sleeted. So we were tired and…
Beautiful setting overlooking river. Lovely receptionist. Will stay again and have already recommended to others.
The location of this hostel is perfect, in between two little villages. We booked a private double room which wasn't directly inside the hostel but attached as a private room and was really clean and comfortable and suited our needs…

An absolutely amazing little hostel, both of my parents had stayed here 20 and 30 years ago and recommend it then. I would hands down stay here again. Comfortable beds, very clean, wonderful staff. It is a must stay if…
This was lovely. (THEY HAD FREE LAUNDRY!! Although drying required a very small fee.) Would 1000% stay again.
Loved my stay here. The people, staff and patrons alike were lovely, and we shared a lot of music. The walk to the cliffs was beautiful even in the wind and rain. I had the little private room, and it…
Wonderful hostel, a home away from home! Staff are welcoming and fun, the kitchen is huge (3 stove tops and lots of bench space), bathrooms are spotless and the beds are comfortable! I had a few great nights bathe fireplace…
Super comfy beds, only 2 euros to do laundry, warm fireplace, huge kitchen, close to pubs, great staff, and just an overall lovely place to stay. Felt like straight out of a fairy tale.
Staying at this hostel was so wonderful. It is perfect for anyone who enjoys the countryside, the outdoors, or somewhere a little quieter, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hostel is near the Doolin pier, where…

My first time in a hostel, loved it. Clean, safe, and welcoming. Great breakfast. Met a few nice fellow travelers. I’ll definitely stay here again when I’m in Ireland.
Fantastic hostel. I had a twin ensuite and was really impressed by the room. There was even a wall that separated the two beds for privacy, so it was *almost* like having my own room. The location was picture perfect,…

Comfortable beds, clean rooms & bathrooms, cozy atmosphere, helpful genuine staff and ideal location. Highly recommended.
I have stayed here several times over the years and it never fails to impress.
I simply loved Aille River Hostel. It has such a homey atmosphere and everyone was extremely nice. The hostel is PERFECTLY located. The rooms and bathroom were impacbly clean. It was by far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed. Doolin is such a small town, but so cute and with a wonderful atmosphere. I would love to have stayed longer.
Awesome location if you're looking to do the cliff walk (which you should do!). Very clean rooms and great bathrooms.
My favourite place out of my entire trip. I didn't want to leave. The staff are incredible; the location is perfect; the locals are....beyond words. The entire experience was beautiful, not even mentioning the scenery - which was positively stunning
Our stay at Aille River was great! Very cute and cozy place. Hostess was super nice and let us leave our bags in the common area after checkout while we hiked around the cliffs. The whole place, common area, room, and bathrooms, were very clean!
A friend and I stayed here last September while hiking in the west of Ireland. It was all you could wish for in a hostel. Sited right next to a river, close to a great pub (Fitzpatricks, where we saw some great live music), clean, old stonework, etc. Highly recommend it.
A great Hostel for 125€ total for my family of 6 to have our own room. Secured entrance, laundry on-site, shared & private toilets/showers (depending on stay type), breakfast provided for 1.50€ per person, and towel rentals 1€ per bath towel. Has a beautiful view and free coffee & tea all day and night! Would definitely recommend!
田舎だからだと思いますが客層も良く雰囲気がいい
Loved the atmosphere of this place and the friends I made. Would plan to stay here again!
Very clean and quaint old farm house with clean rooms, comfortable bunks and a clean well appointed kitchen. Wi-Fi worked great and the staff were friendly and helpful. Very close to the cliffs of Moher and come great pubs in the town!
Snídaně příjemná, krásný dům a lokalita!
Molto ben organizzato per essere un ostello, letti comodi, struttura antica e posizione splendida
Amazing welcome, show round care and cleanliness of place shone through.
Good location, the town is small so easy to navigate. It's own car park was really handy. The hostel is large and Water was hot. Staff friendly.
Отличное расположение, приветливый персонал, чистота в комнате и санузле
I loved the location. The place is hand built and very welcoming. Great place to relax.
Trato del.personal
Lo amables, el entorno, su jardín, la habitación y las instalaciones estaba muy bien. Volvería a ir lo recomiendo, y caminar desde allí al acantilado hermoso.
Nice location. Well taken care of. Manager (owner?) was wonderful. Even prepared a breakfast the night before for me so I could have it early in the morning. Comfortable and kitchen and common spaces were great (fire place!).
Lovely place and location. Nice folks.
Sa situation, avec la pelouse et rivière devant, ainsi que le croisement où passe le bus pour Galway, qui dessert les sites touristiques de part et d'autre du hostel: Cliffs of Moher, les îles Aran, le Burren, Plage de Fenor, etc...( on peut aussi aller au port de Doolin et les Cliffs à pied). Egalement appréciable: les grands espaces communs et la gentillesse du propio!
The staff were wonderful, and check in was easy. Wi-Fi worked well, and the kitchen is spacious. The overall vibe is quite charming, and you're walking distance to all the pubs, which have live Irish music nightly. Cliffs of Moher aren't that far at all as well.
L'accueil et la simplicité du lieu. La localisation à côté de la rivière.. Charmant
Gite bien situé,accueil sympathique,chambre bien exposée,literie satisfaisante.Nous avons été agréablement surpris par le respect des autres voyageurs.......c'est bien dans l'esprit gite français de montagne.
Difficile descrivere un posto dove il punto di forza è l'atmosfera magica che emana! Sembra di stare in luogo incantato....
Ottima posizione per visitare le Aran e per vivere la vera atmosfera Irish. Assolutamente da provare, lo consiglio vivamente.
The hostel is in walking distance to the few restaurants/pubs in the village and is next to the river in a nice natural setting. It's perfect as a base camp for a trip to the Arran Islands as the ferry pier is about 3 km away. The kitchen is very big and there are many places to sit and relax inside and outside.
Very beautiful place, the building, location, everything. 10 out of 10 would stay there again! Made many friends, and in 1 minute you can find a lovely bar and food! Hiking the coast towards the Cliffs of Moher is just a delight, and so close by Aille River hostel. Friendly people, good facilties, free washing machine, purified water which made me very very happy at that time.. Couldn't recommend a better place!
Letti a castello della camera per 4 persone molto comodi e confortevoli, bagno in camera comodo..scenario e giardino dell ostello incantevoli, atmosfera rilassata e amichevole, la sera un ragazzo ha suonato la chitarra rendendo il tutto molto irish. Colazione 1.50 euro con 4 pancakes con nutella o miele molto apprezzata dai bambini, free coffee e tea..meglio di così..
Anche di latte ne puoi prendere quanto ne vuoi oppure mangiare quello che ti sei portato...
Stort kök, trevlig personal, gratis att använda tvättmaskinen och centralt i Doolin.
I highly recommend Aille River Hostel to everyone. The staff is lovely and the hostel is very cosy. The location and the Hostel itself is beautifull.
there is a baeutifull walk to the cliffs of Moher.
What a great place. It's like hostels used to be. Great staff, great facilities, very cute and friendly. The building is beautiful and sits in a lovely setting. Our bed was great, room was great, the common area is great. A very friendly, comfortable stay. Breakfast is 1.50 euros - it doesn't get much better than that.
Stayed: September 2017, travelled as a couple
After walking 7 hours on leg one of the Burren Way, I was tired, damp and hungry. Which usually equates to, in my life, grouchiness.
But the Aillie River Hostel created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that I was instantly calm and happy. A fire in the fireplace dried my boots and clothes, the fabulously friendly staff soothed my soul and the facilities were simple, clean and homey.
Whether you are walking by like I did, or staying for longer…you can't go wrong here. Central location, close to incredible food and music.
Why pay more when you can get all that Doolin has to offer in a shared, happy atmosphere that's easy on your pocketbook.
Plus, as a solo traveller, it was an perfect place to meet like minded individuals.
Stayed: October 2017, travelled solo
Aille River Hostel, the first stop on our trip, was ideal! The staff was accommodating and went out of there way to make us feel welcome. They reconciled an error in our reservation, my mistake, and couldn't have been more helpful. My traveling companion, new to Hostelling, didn't want to leave and, after two weeks, said Aille River Hosteling Doolin was her fav place!
Me and my friend stayed for one night in a double room with enquirer. Room and bathroom were very clean and nice and comfy. Hostel owner is very friendly! Breakfast for 1.50 (which the nice owner gave us for free) was tasty and a good start in the day. I would definitely recommend this place!

The staff is very friendly and helpful, the place is so cozy! Good for people that want peace and relax! It's near of the cliffs of Moher! The room is comfortable and everything is clean! Simple and good breakfast! The price is fair enough! If you need a place to find peace, it's the right place!
The house was adorable and we had no issues! Everything was clean and the bathrooms were nice. Breakfast was 1.50 euro and well worth it.
Nice to meet a Slovenian working there, overall a very lovely hostel, was amazing staying there.
Great atmosphere and people! Nice place !:)
Terrific place to stay: clean, comfortable, quiet. It’s within reach by shuttle or car of the coastal walkway for the Cliffs of Moher.
One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. Everything is perfect from the location to the staff. Great atmosphere. The only problem I had were the wooden floors and doors. Overall a perfect hostel if you want to experience the surrounding area of Doolin. I will definitely come back.
