Myself and 2 friends, with our 8 combined offspring of mostly teenage sons, spent a fabulous 2 nights at Kilronan Hostel last summer. So much so that we had to promise the kids that we'd come back again, and we're heading off this weekend - 25th June 2011, but for an extended 3 night stay this time.
After an initial mix-up with the rooms over the phone, Dave and all the staff were most charming and helpful - Dave even came to our rescue when we were going to be charged for losing one of the 11 bikes we had hired (it wasn't lost, but we had returned the bikes in dribs and drabs and the owner had got confused!).
None of us had stayed at a hostel in over 20 years, so weren't sure what to expect. The very reasonable rate included breakfast, so when we got up the first morning, we could almost smell the sizzling bacon and sausages.......imagine our surprise when we realized it was help yourself to tea and toast in the kitchen!!! But this was our mistake, and we soon got into the swing of hostel life, and absolutely loved it.
A few days after our return my son realized he had left his small MP3 player under the mattress of the bed he was using. I rang about it but wasn't hopeful....... but it was still there and sent back to me that same day.
Overall a lovely place to spend a few days - clean, bright, friendly, great vibe, Dave is a great host, made us feel really at home. We're all really looking forward to going back.
