Room was spacious and clean (room 10). Location great - right in the middle of Doolin. Breakfast was cheap and delicious, pancakes, cereal, eggs, soda bread, free tea and coffee.
Over all, no complaints at all!
What a fantastic hostel! Everything was spotlessly clean. The staff was kind and welcoming, inviting guests to play cards with them and hang out. The fire place and comfy couches made for a great spot to have a tea and talk to other guests. Beds were super comfy, nice big kitchen too. Convenient location to the TI and located in the middle of town, making it easy to get to pubs on either end. Adorable little spot with lounging chairs by the river. I can’t wait to stay here again in the future!
Lovely hostel in Doolin, a fantastic place to stay when visiting the Cliffs of Moher. We walked from Doolin along the seaside all the way to the Cliffs (2.5 hrs), a walk with stunning views. The hostel was very cosy and its staff friendly. Since we booked a large room for just the two of us we got free breakfast, what great hospitality! Would certainly recommend the place!
Excellent Hostel, perfect location for a combination of pubs, music, surfing and climbing. Great staff, really good atmosphere. Would love to visit again.
O man !! They have Joe the donkey. Happy place. I will stay there again and again.
Such a relaxed, family vibe with amazing staff. Incredibly welcoming and generous. Rooms were cozy, comfortable and clean. Kitchen is well equipped. Awesome gathering spaces to enjoy the fire and relax. Small town, however close to the Cliffs which is exactly what we wanted. Such a great place to rejuvenate and relax. Free laundry and good wifi on site was nice. Easy parking access as well. A most for sure. Will definitely return!
Such a cute little hostel. Everyone was very friendly. No complaints!
Aille River Hostel in Doolin is hands down the best hostel I have ever stayed in. It was nicer than most of the AirBnB rooms we booked throughout our UK/Ireland trip and definitely had the most comfortable beds. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are clean and very user friendly. If you go to bed early you may find yourself waking up a little bit here and there when people are returning from the pub, but overall it was a really nice stay.
What a lovely spot! The value for money is incomparable to any place I've stay in before. Doolin itself is very small, so come equipped with groceries & the likes. Other than that, there are a few pubs and cafes nearby, all within 5-10 minute walk from the door of the hostel. The trad music we listened to in the pubs was incredible & I would reccomend a visit for that alone. Breakfast is €1.5 euro with 3 options - toast & eggs, museli, and pancakes Needless to say I'll be back before long!
One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. It's exactly the kind of place you would want to stay when traveling in rural Ireland. The rooms are super clean, beds are solid and well built, and the overall atmosphere in the hostel is great. Friendly and very helpful staff with a lounge area that is comfortable and has some local charm. Easy location to walk to the little villages close by.
Como explicarlo? Es un lugar encantador. La casa tiene un estilo unico y una gran vibra para todos los que nos alojamos ahi, puedes llevar tus alimentos o disponer de un alimento muy economico. Tiene gran acceso a diversas atracciones, esta cerca de un rio que hace un escenario increible. Sencillo incluso si quieres pasar todo el dia ahi. Todos tienen una vibra que te genera una comodidad como pocas al estar alojado.
No hay manera de escribir algo que no te haya gustado. Es un lugar grandioso!

Luogo molto caratteristico,ambiente accogliente,
La ubicación para poder empezar un trekking desde Doolin hacia los acantilados de Cliffs of Moher.
El pueblo es muy bonito e ideal para encontrar la tranquilidad junto a la naturaleza. El dueño muy amable y el desayuno aceptable!
Lovely Irish style cottage hostel. Very cosy with a big open fire when you walk into main living area.
Very clean rooms with access to washing machines and dryers. Short walk to doolin pubs and restaurants.. Overall great value for money!
I had the pleasure of staying at the Allie River Hostel for one night on March 14, 2017. I stayed in the 3 person suite with friends of mine, and the room was clean, warm and comfortable for our night's stay. The staff was helpful in providing us with dinner and travel recommendations. The common room provides a space for you to meet fellow travelers and relax before turning to your room. I highly recommend staying here during your stay in Doolin.
This place has everything you need. Located in the heart of doolin, it's in front of a pub with delicious food and some other restaurants, it's within walking distance to get the ferry to the Aran Islands and to get the bus to Galway.
The place is clean, the shower is hot and the bed supercomfy.
The receptionist is super friendly. She speaks good english, and cares about the guests (she made sure I had breakfast ready for me even though I left at 6am and minded my bag when I was go even after I checked out). Also, I had made reservation for the wrong day and she fixed with no problem, placing me in a bit more expensive room (but it was my fault afterall) that was perfect for a couple.
I totally recomend this place!
Ci accolgono con calore e simpatia, anche se arriviamo abbastanza tardi. camera pulita e calda, bagno piccolo fa funzionale, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Possibilità di fare colazione ad un euro e mezzo! Consigliato
habe 5 Nächte in diesem wunderbaren Hostel verbracht und bin uneingeschränkt zufrieden. Es gibt eine Küche, die sehr groß ist und das gesamte Hostel ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Der Kamin im Gemeinschaftsraum war mein Highlight. Er brannte in den Abendstunden und man traf dort immer nette Leute. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, der Inhaber sehr bemüht und stets für einen Plausch zu haben. Gerne wieder :)
I really really enjoyed my stay here. As I didn't have a car, I had to get by on foot and this hostel was situated more or less in the center of the village, with the nearest pub just across the road. The place was clean and cosy and I enjoyed chatting with the owners too.
Cheap breakfast in the morning is delicious. Great wifi. One of the most comfortable beds in Europe. Staff are very friendly. A short drive (or a long walk) to the Cliffs of Moher. Hard to find anything wrong with this hostel.
Very nice staff. Good sized kitchen. Charming old stone building. Nicely situated in the small town of Doolin. If Doolin is where you want to stay, this is a great value.
Best hostel I've ever stayed in! Robert the owner built the hostel himself and you can tell it was a true labor of love. Great location, yummy breakfast, beautiful public area, and clean rooms. Loved the town of Doolin too so hoping to return in the future!
I adored this hostel. The kitchen was great, there was fantastic breakfast, and Robert is aces. So helpful and nice! It's a gorgeous hostel, about a 5-10min walk to the village, and there are small security lockers in the room that come free of charge. The place is clean and the wifi was good for me. I would definitely stay here again!
Can't recommend this place highly enough - we stayed an extra night because it was so nice! Clean rooms, good breakfast, excellent hosts (thanks Robert and Adva), beautiful location with lots to explore. Will definitely be back, probably several times!
Beautiful hostel right near the cliffs of Moher. Plenty of facilities, staff were great, beds were comfy, great location as well. I particularly enjoyed the fireplace in the common room on the cold nights.
Très agréable !! Aucune critique et bien dormi dans le dortoir de 7 personnes
This hostel was so beautiful! Very cosy with a fireplace to sit at night after a tough and exhausting walking day at the cliffs. Super friendly staff who helps you anytime. If you get to Doolin, definitely stay here!!! :)
Das Aileriverhostel ist ein sehr schoenes im Landhausstil errichtetes Hostel. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Sanitaere Anlagen und die Zimmer sind sehr sauber. Kueche vorhanden und sauber. Fruehstueck war super. Hauseigene Parkplaetze. Restaurants sind zu Fuss zu erreichen. Das Hostel ist nur ca. 6 Kilometer von den Cliffs of Moher entfernt. Es gibt selbstgemachte Cookies - lecker. Hostel sehr empfehlenswert. Doolin Hoehle in der Naehe. Werde hier wieder uebernachten.
PULITISSIMO, struttura in pietra, parquet in camera, letti a castello in legno, cucina spaziosa, atmosfera magica, irlandese, calda, accogliente, personale gentilissimo, veramente veramente bello, ostello preferito tra tutti quelli che abbiamo visto durante il viaggio. Doolin merita di essere vista. Se siete fortunati come noi, uscite di sera, dall'ostello andate all' O'Connors pub a piedi, beccatevi un cielo stellato da paura, gustatevi un baileys coffee e un brandy con ginger ale al pub.
El mejor Hostel que he visitado,todo muy limpio,las zonas comunes muy espaciosas,la cocina es muy grande con cuatro vitrocerámicas de fuego para poder cocinar sin problemas,el hombre que estaba allí muy majo.No lo dudaría en quedarme allí otra ve,
Never felt that comfortable in a hostel. Chatty, dedicated staff that strives for a warm hearted atmosphere. It was just lovely!
I was only meant to stay in doolin one night but I liked this place so much I stayed a few more. Adorable cottage feel, decent breakfast for a low price, and in a nice spot next to a little river/creek. They lit the stove every night in the common area and it was very cosy. Walking distance to anything in doolin, and just a couple hours walk or a short drive to the cliffs of moher
One of the best hostels I've stayed in in Europe. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the setting looks more like a B&B than a budget hostel. I would recommend to anyone.
Aille River Hostel was an amazing hostel with a great atmosphere.
The staff were friendly and caring and helped us find our way around. We walked to the cliffs of Moher and had dinner in town.
I fell in love with Dooblin and Ireland! This hostel is lovely with beautiful scenery surrounding it(or maybe it's just Ireland being beautiful on her own!) the staffs and owners were friendly and I really enjoyed my time there despite only stayed there for a night. I like that it has a self catering kitchen and washing machine free to use! It was a spontaneous trip and didn't know I would love this country so much. Btw, this place is near to the bus stop and walking trail to the Clifts of Moher
It was so lovely I really enjoyed my stay.the location is beautiful and everybody were just so nice.
Made a ton of new friends! Make sure you bring groceries with you cud there isn't a grocery shop in doolin. I will definetly come back :)))))
Zentrale Lage !!
Atmosphère très amicale et détendue L'accès à une cuisine bien équipée L'accueil de l'hôtesse, ses conseils et sa patience pour répondre à nos nombreuses questions sur les alentours Tous les âges qui se côtoient et se parlent
Schöne Lage am Fluss mit alter Steinbrücke, abends ein knisternder Kamin, sehr nettes Personal, gute Organisation (vor allem auch in der Küche), guter Startpunkt für Ausflüge zu den Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, den Aran Islands und noch vielem mehr
Ostello molto curato, familiare. Il personale é gentilissimo, la colazione per 1,5 € assolutamente dignitosa. E' in una vecchia fattoria e dà veramente una sensazione di calore
+ “Can't fault this place! It's ran excellent by staff! Clean comfortable and cheap. The best of doolin accommodation is here
La atención del personal, el ambiente con el resto de los huéspedes, las zonas comunes, la ubicación y las vistas
günstiges, einfaches Frühstück; gute Betten, schöne Lage; nettes Personal
Great place to stay while visiting the cliffs. A couple of pubs close by. Nice green grass everywhere.
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 !
Cute clean place to stay. Lovely facilities. We stayed in private ensure. We were not there long but enjoyed walking the small little town and had easy access to Cliffs of Mohr.
Ireland has been my 12th country I've been too and Aille River has been the best place I've stayed in so far. The staff were so helpful and always seemed like we're happy to see you. The facilities were great and they were kept perfectly clean, daily. I would recommend Aille River to anyone coming through Ireland. This was definitely not my last time in Doolin and I'll definitely be back to Aille River in the near future.
Awesome hostel in a nice small town, very close to Cliffs of Moher. There is a great atmosphere at Allie River Hostel, I would highly recommend it.
Friendly staff and a relaxed feel about the place ! I will defintely return..
Tutto perfetto: pulizia, lavanderia, colazione con un piccolo supplementi, suggestiva la posizione vicino al fiume. Comodo per gisitare Cliffs e Burren
The stone house is gorgeous. The staff is very nice as well. And you can use a washing machine for free!
We are an extended family. We chose the aille river hostel because of good ratings and good reviews.
We were not misled. The accommodations suited us perfectly and the beds were very comfortable. I spent some time outside sitting by the lovely stream flowing by the front lawn.
The hosts were friendly and very concerned that our entire visit went well for us. They were so helpful and open!
If we find our way back to doolin, we will stay here!
A giant "thank you" to all there!
Le terrain de camping de cette auberge de jeunesse est tout petit, mais c'est charmant et tous les services de l'auberge de jeunesse sont accessibles : super cuisine, très bien équipée, salle commune avec feu de tourbe chaleureuse, machine à laver gratuite, séchoir, petit déjeuner à 1,5 €.
9 €/personne/nuit, c'est un excellent rapport qualité/prix !
Top Lage, nettes Personal, gemütliche Unterkunft
Tolles, altes, gepflegtes Gebäude. Tolle Lage direkt am Fluss (Bach). Kleine Wiese zum Campen direkt neben dem Hostel ... toll!
Best hostel I have ever stayed in....staff are fabulously friendly. Great spot. Don't look anywhere else....but book well in advance unless like us you're camping then arrive there should be space. Full use of facilities while camping is fab and free wifi.
Super Hostel! Nicht allzu gross, sehr gemütlich. Perfekter Ausgangspunkt zu den Arran Inseln und den Cliffs of Moher. Carpark hinterm Haus. Pubs mit irischer Livemusic in gehweite
Excellent value for money. Clean and comfortable, relaxed vibe and in a beautiful setting. Great pubs and session music nearby too!
Most adorable hostel I've ever stayed in. Great place to hang out and drink tea while enjoying your surroundings. The girl at the reception was so helpful and the kitchen and bathroom were really clean.
One of my favorite stays in all of ireland.
El personal amabilīsimo. La habitación cálida y confortable. La zona de cocina muy bien organizada. El entorno precioso. puedes ir andando 2 h hasta los acantilados, merece la pena porque por el camino ves paisajes solitarios y preciosos.
The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the environment felt very homely. The scenery outside the hostel was really good. It was a convenient location to catch the ferry to Aran islands, and a nice walk to Doolin caves. Cliffs of Moher and the Burren was also nearby! Overall, one of my nicest experiences in Ireland!
Very nice place, good and cheap breakfast! This hostel has really come from a fairy tale!
The location of the facility was great, the facility was immaculate, loved the fire going on cold days. Eloise was very friendly and attentive and a terrific asset to the guests!
El hostal en general esta de lujo para desconectar. Además todo muy limpio y agradable.
Great hostel in a wonderful place! You should definitely try to go to doolin, it's a fantastic village in the best nature of Ireland, but there are also some pubs with very good parties for the night and good food. It's close the 2 best attractions of Ireland: cliffs of moher and the Aran island. The hostel is really nice, clean and well-organized! The staff is really Friendly and the price is good!
Love this place. Keep coming back.
The girl at reception was lovely, the hostel was spotless and beds were comfy. Would defo stay here again.
Very well run Hostel, Extremely helpful staff and great location.

This hostel was one of the first that I booked for my travels around Ireland because of the wonderful reviews, great location, and I'll be honest...because of how cute it was! I was not let down by any of these expectations.
Some of the conveniences I found: The parking was free and located directly next to the hostel. Laundry was free! I wish I had taken advantage of this, but unfortunately I ended up doing my laundry at my next stop in Kilkenny for about 15 Euros. There was a computer that I was able to use for free to upload some pictures from my adventures, and breakfast was available for a small fee and was much better than any other breakfast I had on my trip (soda bread, jam, and a raw egg that I scrambled). Also, the location couldn't have been better! I was able to hike to the Cliffs of Moher from the hostel, and even my journey to the actual hike was beautiful!
The perfect place in a such astonishing natural beauty!
It's been wonderful to share our experience in Doolin at your mansion! Nice owners, we'll come back for sure! Thank You all!!! Rick and the 10 hours walk crew XD
This hostel is right across the road from the bus stop. It has a warm, inviting common area and a friendly staff. Our room was on the second floor with a view of the river. The wifi signal in our room and in the common area was strong and reliable. The beds were extremely comfortable and even though it was storming outside, we felt quite snug. Breakfast was €1.50 and a perfect start to the day. If I ever come back to Doolin I will stay here. This was far and away the best hostel/guesthouse we stayed in during our trip. I highly recommend it!
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。
A estrutura do albergue é excelente e todos que trabalham lá são super prestativos e educados. As camas são confortáveis, banheiro bem conservado e tudo muito limpo. O café da manhã custa 1,50 , mas o local também tem cozinha completa pra quem quiser fazer sua comida. Recomendo o albergue!!!! Fica a dica de ler a carta que tá emoldurada na parede e perguntar para o dono a história dela. Isso garantirá boas gargalhadas.
Stayed March 2016, travelled as a couple
Had the most amazing time at this hostel! Booked an extra night because it was so amazing!The staff who run the place are amazing, all so friendly and helpful. From group trips to the pub and family night dinners my time at this hostel was amazing!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The staff was very welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere was warm. We will definitely come back!
The kindness and hospitality of the staff is wonderful here at the Aille River Hostel. Upon my early arrival, I was offered coffee and excellent conversation. Staff had plenty of recommendations for things to do in the area, places for music and food. They were extremely helpful and really wanted to help make sure I had a great time! The facilities were excellent and clean, they even had a fireplace in the main room which was super cozy. I would highly recommend staying here!
