As youth hostels go, this has to be one of the best in Europe. At the foot of the majestic Errigal, Donegal's highest peak, and directly adjacent to the Poisoned Glen (don't let the name fool you, as it is full of life), this place is a gem. Newly refurbished, the hostel has a great kitchen and common room, with large picture windows allowing guests to take in the stunning secnery. I stayed in a twin room - very good for a hostel, with an en suite wet room. Highly recommended.

“The best Hostel on our trip”
4
people found this review helpful
This is a newly built Hostel and was hands down the best one we stayed at on our trip. It sits at the base of Mount Errigal. Easy enough to find. Beautiful and spotless. Great kitchen and dining area. [buy Groceries when you are in a bigger town, this is out in the sticks a bit] This was the only hostel we stayed at that had guests with young children, there was a nice play area for them. The entire bathroom was the shower stall, that was a little odd- you could say it had a really big shower. This was the most handicapped accessable hostel we stayed at, which might explain the shower.The staff were wonderful, helpful and friendly.
It's in a quiet little village near Glenveagh park. As a bonus I got a great picture of an unexplained phenomenon [ghost?] through the window of an abandoned Hostel down the street. Very cool.
- Liked — The staff
- Disliked — The push button control on the shower
