First impression was great, even before you walk in the door...the river bubbling away under the ancient stone bridge is gorgeous...what we came to Ireland to experience. Anne couldn't have been more helpful. House clean and quiet. Good location. Loved it

This is a little place, different than your average B&Bs with fantastic warm atmosphere, wide equipped comfortable kitchen, fire place, and above all Carol at the desk was brilliant, helpful and full of energy to assist. The room (double private) was rather small by size but clean, warm and nice basic wooden decor .Bed was comfy. Highly recomended. Tnx

Lovely, cosy hostel in a lovely cosy little town. Great Irish music scene here in Doolin, and you are a short hop from the cliffs of mohair. A good place to stop on the west coast. A trip to the arann islands is another must do.

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

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
