The hostel: -No Internet (owner said fees off the pub across the street for free wifi, not cool) -No locks (security was a joke, front door left open, our dorm door didn't even latch properly and had no lock) -Showers are cold (ice water type of cold) -Kitchen is good (fair supply of cooking utensils of pots pans plates etc)...

Great hostel.Very homey atmosphere.Very friendly people. Cozy, quiet and clean. Perfect location for exploring Clifden's bars and pubs. Great value for money. We've been there twice already and we will definitely be back there again :) More

stayed in a 3 bed dorm. Hostel is clean and cosy with good kitchen and dining areas. Our room was facing the street so was noisy at night but nothing a pair of good ear plugs couldn't fix!

We had three wonderful days last year in Connemara and had the pleasure of staying at the Clifden Town Hostel.This is a very clean warm house with very friendly staff who will help to plan your day hiking in the area.Wonderful view from one of the kitchens and from some of the rooms. More

It've very clean and well kept. All looks very friendly, plus the kitchen it's particularly nice. You'll feel comfortable in it! It's in the main street and with a lovely backview on the ocean and stream. More
