It has been a couple years since we went, but I know that it was very affordable and we had our own bathroom. We hadn't stayed at any other hostels on our trip so didn't have towels, but the manager happily gave... More

We have used this hostel for many years and we like the atmosphere. It is not too cramped. It is very comfortable and warm. Nice lounge where you can watch TV. Staff more than helpful. Ideal for student groups. More

September 2011. Also, stayed here in March 2007. This was my second vacation to Ireland and the second time I stayed at this hostel. It's in a great location on Fisher Street. Walking distance to the little shops and O'Connors Pub. We parked at the hostel and walked everywhere. It's also only a 5 minute drive to the Cliffs of... More

We apologise we could not meet the guests expectations. We are not perfect but we pride ourselves on cleanliness and friendliness. So called “rude staff” member is the kindest and friendliest gentleman you will ever meet, please see other reviews. Cleanliness is always rated highly in reviews prior and after they stayed. We do not have bed bugs and the... More

Normally don't stay in a hostel but as the weather was unpredictable we decided last minute to stay at Paddys, instead of going camping. We were not disappointed, the hostel was very clean,... More

Paddy's was absolutely amazing. David was without a doubt the friendliest person we met on the entire trip and was so incredibly helpful to us. He was there to greet us at the door, drew us a map, and had fresh scones ready in the morning. He really remembered everyone and made us feel welcome at all times. The area... More

Clean rooms, cool and relaxing common room, wonderful location right at the beginning of cliffs of moher and the town of doolin. Great place... More
