Excellent location and very friendly and helpful Aussie host. Warm fire place in the old 300 year old stone building. Good kitchen and bathroom facilities. Breakfast available. Very clean and a comfortable 4 person room. Parking, WIFI and a good price. Doolin was definitely a highlight on our trip. Be sure to check out the live music down the road.... More

The Aille River hostel deserves every one of the awards that so casually inhabit its windowsills. The common room and kitchen are both great. The room we stayed in was unbelievably nice: the bunks were comfortable and the room was spacious. The bathrooms were clean and functional. There was an Australian on reception who made sure our stay was excellent.... More

The Aille River Hostel has definetly earned every single award it got so far and I'd even give them another one. With the nice and warm common room, the cozy wooden bunk-beds and the enourmously friendly staff it has been the perfect place to spend some November nights in. I recommend it without hesitation!

My husband and I stayed here in the middle of March, and even in the off season Aille is jam packed with many different visitors from many walks of life. The music scene in Doolin attracts a varied audience, and my husband and I enjoyed meeting people here. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the toilets were all shared, and... More

The kitchen is big and well-equipped, so you can cook comfortably. The... More

We loved the friendliness of the staff, helping us to find a great place for dinner, as well as providing great breakfast options: 1.5 Euro for toast and eggs! There were some other visitors and everyone was friendly and shared what they brought. I coulnd't believe what a great community they have there. Plus, we loved our room! So cozy!... More

This beautiful stone building stands on the river ailee right in the centre, if it had one, of Doolin. Lovely layout and while the room we had was small and lacking in elec points, it was more than adequate for our needs. Cosy fireside communal area and well equipped kitchen. Stevie was welcoming and chatty and recommended McDermott's who serve... More
