When my friend and I stepped off the Ferry in Kilronan Harbour, we were pleased to see the hostel right away. I had booked ahead of time on line and our rooms were ready (a shared room with two other girls). The girls were very friendly, one was American and the other was an Irish girl who was staying in...

upon arrivin' on the Aran islands, we dropped off our gear at the hostel (a very relaxed environment) and rented a few bikes. myself (from BC Canada) and a couple Americans I'd met the night before in Galway, biked around the island with a couple bottles of wine.. for hydration? BEAUTIFUL AREA For the next few days the ferries could... More

This was the best hostel I came across during my recent travels around Europe. A handy 5 minute walk from the pier, this hostel really felt like home away from home for the days I stayed there. My room was comfortable and had ensuite bathroom facilities, which was great. The cosy TV room had loads of DVDs and books for... More

I didn't enjoy my recent stay in the hostel at all. As soon as we arrived we had to wait around for about 15 minutes before being taken outside and then upstairs to a dorm. This room was then cold and the bed sheets had a damp, stale feel to them. I couldn't put up with it for a second... More

Kilronan is a small village and all of the amenities are located with-in a 3/4 minute walk of the hostel. The hostel is clean, rooms are functional and comfortable. The... More

Myself and 2 friends, with our 8 combined offspring of mostly teenage sons, spent a fabulous 2 nights at Kilronan Hostel last summer. So much so that we had to promise the kids that we'd come back again, and we're heading off this weekend - 25th June 2011, but for an extended 3 night stay this time. After an initial... More
