Lahinch Hostel,

Church Street, County Clare

"I stayed here with my 12 year old son. They welcomed us with open arms. Great waves. Ripper Surfers and Body Boarders who are willing to share their knowledge. Some OG's and pioneers of the Irish surfing scene."

"Very poor experience. My bag got kicked out by a worker and he tried to push me out of the room because random people turned up for the hostel. Absolute joke of a place. Wouldn’t even listen to me or check the cameras to believe me and abused me while he was in the wrong. 100% would not recommended due to this as this could happen to anyone. If there is a tall man with curly hair working, stay away from the hostel as he will kick and push you out."

"Dan the Man! Dan who runs the hostel couldn't have been more generous and welcoming. Great atmosphere throughout our stay and he was as accommodating as possible. Ideal set up for a group of friends on a surfing trip."

"Class hostel, we went down as a group of 12 and ended up meeting lots of other young people down there. Great area downstairs to have drinks and chill. Dan who works there is very sound, 5 minutes from the surf beach. Highly recommended it!"

"Location perfect, Dan was lovely, Rooms were clean, my only complaint was the ovens were not working and we were catering for a large group of teenagers. A big Thank you to the restaurant next door that bailed us out and cooked our lasagne and chips. So fix the oven and cooker Top and its a great place."
