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.
You won't find a better, cuter place to stay and more helpful staff!
Amazing people, great vibe. We had to leave early (4am) for the airport and they had breakfast packaged and in the fridge for us. So sweet
Lieu très accueillant avec une propriétaire gentille. Grande cuisine et bien équipée. Un feu de cheminé lorsqu'il fait froid appréciable par temps de pluie.
Ambiance cosy et très agréable. Personnel sympa et accueillant. Couchages confortables. Cuisine très bien équipée. Extérieur magnifique. Auberge de jeunesse très bien située. En clair, vraiment très bien !
Petit déjeuner complet pour un tout petit prix !

The bed was very comfy! Staff is really friendly and helpful. I liked the private arrangement of the room. The breakfast was delicious.
Lovely staff, great hostel. Group of 4 of us loved the stay. Local pubs are great and lots of culture and atmosphere. Will be back I'm sure
This hostel is like a 'home away from home'. The layout encourages people to mix and creates a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff were so helpful and full of information on what to do and see in the area.
ドーリンに行ったときに、泊まりました。川辺のホステルで、泊まっている人もみんなどこか楽しそうで、面白かったです。朝ごはんはみんな思い思いに、セルフで食べるのですが、椅子と机が少なくて難儀しましたが、それもよい思い出です。川辺でのんびりするのがなにより楽しかったですね。夜はパブでセッションにギターで参加。何度も行きたくなるところです。 Stayed April 2015, travelled as a couple

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.
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…
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?

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…

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!
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…

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…
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
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…
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. Stayed July 2015, travelled with family
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…
