Dear Travelers, We recently stayed at this hostel and would not recommend it. We thought it would be convenient to the Shannon Airport and would be less expensive than nearby hotels. However we were wrong. The owner, Michael, was terribly rude, and the room was dirty and dark. (The moldy shower curtain fell off each time one took a shower.). The hostel was overun with noisy high school rugby players until 11 or 12 at night and the the drive there was difficult on a very curvy road.. Fortunately prior to our trip home we found a number of less expensive and more accomodating hotels within 1 or 2 miles of the airport. (Try Twomile Inn or any in Shannon Town). Backpackers and families beware, the Jamaica Inn was not a good choice for staying near the airport. We had a wonderful vacation in Ireland and this owner and establishment was definitely and anomaly. Sincerely, Sheila of Chicago
