Clean and comfortable stay near beautiful sites
The accommodations were basic, but comfortable, quiet and clean. There is a definite hostel vibe here, however the room was private and included a rather small but functional bathroom. The guest breakfast area/lounge had plenty to eat and the brown bread was delicious. You are expected to clean your dishes afterwards, of course. There is an attached restaurant serving lunch and dinner. (It's also where you check-in.) We had a copious and enjoyable dinner there. There are other restaurants and pubs across the street and a medium-size grocery store with an ATM too. Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey are nearby and both are beautiful sites to visit. I would stay here again.

We had the room next to the common room. People were partying in the common room until 4am. The walls are paper thin. Common room should be closed at a certain time. Also, room key didn’t work sometimes, had to climb out the window to get out. Other than that, breakfast was decent, and staff were all fantastic.

Great customer service
Good people and good accommodations for the price. Clean and comfortable. We did not have the breakfast. Heather and Nathan were very friendly. My son left his jacket in the room when we checked out and we had already returned to London before discovering this fact. We contacted Heather and she mailed the jacket home for us the next day. That is great customer service!

Just what I was looking for!
It was very close to the Connemara, a comfortable little hostel with a great bar/restaurant and food...and the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean with a private bath. Kitchen was open and available at all hours for me to come and go as I pleased, and it was stocked with a wide variety of breakfast foods. It was just what I was looking for.

Praktisch für eine Nacht auf dem Weg
Es ist ein HoStel und kein HoTel ☺ Die Zimmer sind zweckmässig eingerichtet, jedoch knapp in der Grösse und auch wäre eine Renovation begrüssenswert. Löcher in der Badezimmertüre, alle Türen lassen sich nur schwer öffnen und auch sonst ziemlich verbraucht. Sicher gut wenn man eine günstige Übernachtung auf dem Weg sucht.

Propriétaire accueillant et hôtel très bien situé
L'hôtel est très bien situé (à 200 mètres du Parc National du Connemara et de son Centre des Visiteurs). Clifden, la Sky Road ainsi que l'Abbaye de Kylemore se trouvent à proximité. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et le self service du petit déjeuner est très pratique. Quant aux chambres elles sont très spacieuses et très calmes.

Séjour très plaisant à cet hôtel
Lorsque nous avons effectué la réservation, l'endroit portait le nom de Bard Dens Hostel. Il a été modifié depuis. Nous avons reçu un accueil très chaleureux. Notre chambre comportait trois lits simples, dont deux avaient été collés l'un à l'autre, et une salle de bain avec douche. Nous y avons très bien dormi. Nous avions accès à une salle commune comprenant un petit salon ainsi qu'une cuisine complète. Le petit déjeuner était compris dans le coût de la réservation. Il était composé de différents fruits, céréales, pain, café et jus. Il y avait des tables à l'extérieur pour prendre un verre ou un repas. Nous avons mangé un club sandwich et il était vraiment délicieux. Le wifi est gratuit. Cependant, il n'était pas accessible à partir de notre chambre. Il a fallu se rendre dans le passage pour y avoir accès. Nous n'y avons passé qu'une seule nuit. Par contre, pour ceux qui désirent passer plus de temps dans cette région, cet hôtel est vraiment un excellent choix étant donné sa proximité avec le parc national du Connemara.

Sejour familial pour visiter la région. Proche de clifden, de l'abbaye de killemore et surtout à deux pas du parc du connemara. Petit hotel plutôt type motel, chambre petite pour 4 adultes de 23 à 76 ans. Toute petite salle de bain. Connexion internet inexistante durant nos 4 nuits. Accueil super et amicale. Par contre le plus possibilité de disposer du frigo dans la salle commune. Rencontre fort sympathique avec d'autres vacanciers. Je recommande pour tout ses avantages. On oublie finalement les autres inconvénients. Nous reviendrons. J'oubliais une excellente restauration sur place.

Rapport qualité / prix / praticité très bon
Séjour de quatre nuits en famille (deux enfants). Attention l'hôtel a changé de Nom! nous avons donc eu beaucoup de mal à le retrouver il s'agit maintenant du Cloverfox. La chambre n'est pas extraordinaire et les sanitaires nécessitent un vrai rafraichissement. Cependant la chambre permettait d'accueillir jusqu'à six personnes ce qui en rapport prix est vraiment intéressant par rapport aux autres chambres que nous avons eues par ailleurs. Pour le petit déjeuner, il est à disposition dans une cuisine commune et basique toutefois il est possible de stocker des denrées dans le frigo commun et aussi d'utiliser cette cuisine pour se préparer et manger les autres repas. La personne qui gère l'hôtel est vraiment sympathique. Elle donne aussi la possibilité de faire une lessive (Laver sécher). L'hôtel est situé au pied du parc national du Connemara et à 4km de l'abbaye de Kylemore. Les alentours sont très intéressant aussi à visiter. Pour les accrocs : Wifi OK

Accueil chaleureux comme partout en Irlande. On a aussi bien manger dans le restaurant. La chambre, bof bof... la douche juste un petit fillet d'eau et la propreté de la chambre: on a trouver des moutons (pas les animaux hein, même si il y en a beaucoup en Irlande) et une paire de chaussures sales sous le lit . Calme, le nécessaire pour se faire un petit dèj.
