I was quite not into the place upon seeing the name... But I just went along with it anyway... It was beyond my expectation. Trish and Marie (a gal from Australia who worked there) had been nothing but super helpful and friendly. Marie brought me around town and Trish shared a tip or two about books. Splendid place to stay... More

Stayed here on route to touring around the west of lreland and found it to be good value and in a good location. Room was ok if a little small and the place itself had a strange layout in getting to and from the room, that said its hardly a big issue. Found the people there very accomdating and helpful,...

I can't even begin to describe how much I love this place. Trish and Ian have become my Perfect little Irish family. I have been traveling Ireland for 2 months and of my travels in Ireland I have spent 20 of those days with Trish and Ian in Wicklow. I would stay for a week, leave for two then go... More

Patricia and Ian were super friendly right from the get go and made sure all our needs/wants/wishes were met. The beds were comfortable and cozy and the breakfast was delicious! At the end of our stay my girlfriend and I were running late for our bus, in fact we'd missed it really, and Patricia drove like crazy to the next... More

We had initally only planned one night at this hostel in Wicklow but as soon as we got there we almost immediately extended our plans there for another night. As this was our first hostel experience my husband and I were a little unsure of what to expect but it ended up being our favorite place that we stayed on... More

I was there for just one day in October. It was great. The owners are really nice, and the hostel is quite clean and near everything in Wicklow. They even offered to give me a ride to Glendalough. Personally, I think they should charge more, because the quality is higher than the price. Matheus More

I travelled to Captain Halpin's Bunkhouse on August 14th for one nights stay as my friend and I were participating in a paranormal tour in Wicklow Gaol that was going on until 3 a.m. I choose Captain Halpins because of this as they had no lock out time. On our arrival in Wicklow we didn't really know where we were... More

This hostel has only just opened so I had no information on it when I arrived in Wicklow. Found it only because when I arrive anyehere for the first time I always look at the narrow streets no one else seems to bother with. Situated off the main Street in Wicklow along the rivers edge. Because it has only recently... More

My husband and I walked around Wicklow trying to find a place to stay and came accross Captain Halpin's which we had seen on Hostelworld. We were looking for a private which I don't beleive they had. But Trisha was able to put us in a room by ourselves. The couple that run the Hostel are the nicest we have... More
