My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights in September during the Matchmaking Festival. The hostel is in a great location...only 5 minute walk away from the village centre. My friend and I were booked in to a 6 bed female dorm en suite which was very comfortable and all for only €20.00 per person per night. You won't... More

The Burren Hostel is alright for what it is, a hostel. the only problem is that they charge the price of a B&B (even of you don't get a decent breakfast). We booked a double room online with my partner and we ended up in a dorm room. There was just us in the dorm but still... it wasn't the... More

Just back from Sleepzone - Burren Hostel!! What a pleasant surprise we are a family of 4 with 2 very active teenagers and are just back from a 3 night stay in Sleepzone Burren. Exactly what it says on the tin! We used the hostel as a base and spent a day on Inis Oirr after taking a ferry from... More

We were 4 people and had 6 bed room, which was large with private bathroom with WC and bathtub. Air in the room was a bit stale, but room and bathroom was clean. Staff was really great and helpful. We could... More

Although we found the staff (the majority being French students) friendly and helpful and the public spaces clean and comfortable this hostel was a disappointment due to the lack of maintenance of the dormitories and care for the needs of self caterers. Our first dorm was rather dank and cold, the built in was hair drier was shorted out at... More

The service was absolutely great. My friend and I were interested in catching some trad music, and our host found us a good pub and arranged taxis for us. We ran into a problem with cash (for our bus out) and she helped us find the right tickets and printed them for us. We had arranged to go horseback riding... More

We booked this hostel as we wanted to be close to the Cliffs of Moher. It was the best random choice we've done in a while! The location is perfect for driving along the Burrens - great destination in Ireland with loads of places to see! The staff was really really friendly and the environment in the hostel was very...
