Good atmosphere, bunk beds had no ladders on them so you had to do a balancing act to make your way up to bed. The showers were very unclean with hundreds of bugs crawling around. Unclean facilities. The rooms were basic but good, beds comfy. Worn out hostel.

I am from Eastern Europe and generally consider myself prepared for nearly anything when it comes to accomodation but this was way beyond my worst nightmares! It was very similar to what you would see in "How clean is your house" before the place gets cleaned - dust, stains, dirt and grime, cobwebs and plenty of spiders, toilets just about... More

Probably the worst hostel in Ireland. I stayed there for a few nights in February, when it was quiet. There was an overriding smell of damp about the whole place. The beds were ancient, lumpy, and damp. The shower was covered in black mould. The 90s TV only picked up two channels, depending on where you positioned the antenna, which... More

The Green Door Hostel has recently changed ownership and has undergone recent major renovations. There is a problem with TV reception in this area because of the large trees behind us on the hill. However, the common TV room has lots of channels if if are unable to get reception in your room. (if you booked a room with a... More

A fun and comfortable establishment! I passed through intending to stay one weekend and ended up returning the next four weekends. The location is prime for those exploring Co. Meath which is brimming with tons of diverse history. The staff made me feel so incredibly welcomed. I stayed over Christmas and the New Year's and an amazing dinner was prepared... More

The Green Door was a very good hostel, despite looking very old and worn. The 2 guys that greeted us were very nice and helpful finding our way through Drogheda and how to get to Dublin airport the next morning. The dorm rooms are HUGE, but we had it all to ourselves that night, which was very nice! The toilets... More

The Green Door staff were the friendliest and most fun staff I have encountered in all my years of traveling Europe. If you stay there, get to know the owner Eamon (sp??, sorry dude haha). He is one of a kind. When my wife and I stayed with there he was more than helpful with what to do in Drogheda... More

we arrived very late in the evening at the green door without reservation, but we got a very friendly welcome. The owner made us a cup of tea and told us they took over the hostel a couple of weeks ago and were busy making renovations to improve the hostel. The dorm we stayed in was big with en suite... More
