“Fantastic Value and run by people who care!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2011 via mobile

Myself and 4 friends decided very last minute on a road trip to Bundoran from Dublin for a spot of surfing failing to realise it was a bank holiday weekend.
After ringing dozens of hotels, B&Bs and hostels we almost gave up looking for somewhere affordable and with vacancies when we stumbled across this little gem. With literally 3 hours notice of our arrival we managed to book a large 7 bed room at a brilliant price.
On arrival that staff were very friendly and couldnt do enough to suggest places to eat and indeed where to go suss out the surfing scene.
The room was more then acceptable for a hostel with sturdy bunks, clean and modern bathroom, we even had a hot tub of sorts! It was an 80s rock themed room if that narrows it down for any of you.
I'm used to staying in 4 or 5 star hotels around the world with my work but at no stage was I made to feel like I was "roughing" it!
I will be back when the waves call me again!

“a grand stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

checked in for one night. The manager was really friendly and full of local knowledge, would bend over backwards to help you. We stayed in the U2 room. Nice and cosy and perfect for what we paid for. Great location within a few minutes walk to main street. If your on a budget and need a basic room for a good rate, this is for you.

“Fantastic place with Great staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2011

Stayed here with the boyfriend and I couldn't speak more highly of the place. We stayed in the John Lennon room - very clean and cosy - ensuite bathroom was spotless with a piping hot electric shower. Te room has a radiator which you could turn on if you got cold. The kitchen is clean, fitted with all necessary utensils and the free breakfast is a definite plus!

The staff made the place, they were absolutely fantastic. They were so friendly and really made us feel at home. They also advised us where to go, organised discounted surf lessons and were more that happy to help us out with anything and everything. The boyfriend stayed on a few days longer he liked it so much and got a great deal for him a 3 friends.

For less that 20quid a night (15 in a dorm), you really can't do better than the Rock Hostel. I'll be back!

“Terrific staff, great location, enjoyable experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 April 2011

Homefield Rock Hostel is ideally situated in Bundoran, minutes from center of town and the each and just accross the road from the Donegal adventure center. The staff were really friendly, the rooms were clean and the kitchen had everything you could need. It has a great relaxed atmosphere with gig and band posters all over the walls.
Highly recommend it for a stay in this lovely activity filled town !

“Cosy, friendly and great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2011

Stayed here before, but place has been redecorated, and what an improvement. I stayed here before because it was so close to surf, pubs and restaurants, and it was inexpensive, but now they have refurbished everything and its definitly best value place in Bundoran. Friendly staff will point you in direction of what's on, where to go and what the surf is doing. Rock music theme is cool and restaurant nect door super handy.

Room Tip: book surf stuff as package,better deals,
