We had a great night in Kilronan Hostel, the atmosphere was brilliant, good kitchen, staff friendly and the location is spot on for bike hire and a spin around the island or a bus tour if the weather is poor. It's also very close to the ferry, nearby pubs, restaurants and maybe a swim! (although the water is very cold... More

This was one of the nicest hostels I've had the pleasure of staying at while on the Emerald Isle. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was a brilliant TV room that had a great selection of movies and books. The kitchen was beautiful; I loved the chicken paintings, and the atmosphere was great. Our rooms were so comfy, cozy,...

The Kilronan Hostel lived up to everything they claimed to be and more! Indeed, it is a mere two minute walk from the ferry and only a few steps away from Tigh Mac's, a warm and welcoming pub, and just a few more steps away from the grocery store and ATM. The accommodations are what you would expect at a... More

Myself and my partner took some of his family to visit the Aran Islands and decided on this premises due to it's location. When we arrived we were stunned into silence at the size of the 4 bed dorm. I have never seen anything so small in my life.( I have travelled alot and stayed in many hostels throughout Europe... More

Hi there, Thank you for staying with us at Kilronan Hostel. I am sorry that you did not enjoy you stay. At Kilronan Hostel we have no large dorm rooms like in other hostels. All our rooms are ensuite and we have 4 bed ensuite and 6 bed ensuite rooms which suites lots of families who obviously do not want... More

We arrived late and were gone by noon the next day, but had such a great time while we were there! We were welcomed and treated as family, and included in the events of the night - lively, music and dancing, then hung out in the big kitchen with new friends. Did not have the chance to explore the island,... More

I had an enjoyable stay and this hostel. My room overlooked the harbor and sunrise. The sheets and room were clean, the kitchen was large and complete. The bathrooms are small but, then again it's Europe! The staff was helpful, they gave me a deal on the local bike rental at the hostels reception. The living room was well kept... More

Our room was above the kitchen and when we arrived around 9pm, there was a dinner in the kitchen where a group of people talked shouting at each other because the music was really loud and perhaps also because of the drinks. The staff was really helpful to give us another room. The window in the new room couldn't be... More

Hi there, Thanks for your response. A lot of guests eat in the kitchen when they get together. I do not think that 9 o'clock in the evening too late for guests to be eating in the kitchen and enjoying themselves. We have since repaired the window issue that you had. We wish you had told somebody at the hostel... More

I stayed at Kilronan Hostel for more than a week with my friend. We were only meant to be going to Inishmore for a few days but fell in love and had to stay.

Shared room with solo travel. Easy check in/out, basic expected quality for the cheap price, friendly folk and right in the main bay where the boats arrive. Fantastic base for biking and hiking around this amazing island. I was a bit taken aback by the primitive wooden condom dispenser but I guess someone needed it. Nice attached kitchen with a... More
