This hostel is one of the better hostels in the Doolin region. All the hostels are great, but this one is right beside the bus stop if you need to get anywhere else after your stay in Doolin. It's a nice walk to the cliffs of moher from there too (be prepared for a mini trek) and about 10 minutes... More

I was happy to find plenty of parking when I arrived at Doolin Hostel the other day. The couple running the place are very friendly. The wife gave me suggestions of what to see and do that afternoon before I even asked for them. The hostel itself was quiet, and the location is great. It was easy to wander back... More

Pass by all the crud up by Fitzpatricks and head down to O'Connors and the Doolin Hostel. Great place to stay. 14 Euro for the night, great hot showers and very helpful hosts. Also a great base to explore all Doolin has to offer.
