I brought 107 international students in March 2013. It is such a pleasure to work with a company like the Rowan Tree. It could actually take too long to compliment them on everything they do right. Clean, central, spacious room, quick check in, adjacent cafe, hot showers. The list goes on. A special note is needed for how friendly the... More

I travel Ireland as a backpacker on a tight budget and I stumbled upon the Rowan Tree Hostel expecting just an ordinary, nice and clean hostel. Nothing much, since it was so cheap. But what I've found was pure luxury! There is so much room for everything and everyone, extremely comfortable beds, a huge shiny bathroom with a perfectly hot... More

Funky hostel with a really cool girl at the front desk who was so helpful to us. This place has everything you want, even it's own restaurant/cafe/bar! Breakfast was free and good, and the place is so clean. It looks all fairly new, and really just works. Would definitely go back.

We stayed for one night. Good location, friendly staff, comfortable and clean. We stayed in an en-suite room. The bed linen was good and the bathroom clean, functional and spacious. We would definitley stay there again - excellent value for money.

After Dublin, Cork and Limerick I wished to spend a couple of days in some small, quite and cozy town. I chose Ennis because I've been here already for a couple of hours and liked it. The Rowan Tree Hostel is located ideally - you cannot find better place for short walking tours around the town. The building itself is... More

Stayed here as part of a tour, we were in a 6 bed dorm with an ensuite. It was nice, comfortable and in a great location. Breakfast was provided and there was free wifi in the common areas. Would recommend it.

Beautiful hostel, I booked a bed for two in 12 bed dorm, at check-in we got a free upgrade to a family suite, private terace, amazing view. Overall, very clean, helpful friendly staff, in city centre, only a walk from the railway station takes some time.
