Rowan Tree Hostel

Great location, no frills hostel. No wifi other then on the first floor is disappointing. Clean rooms and friendly service. Free cereal and fruit in the morning.

Pretty good hostel. The Guys are so friendly. They put an extra bed in our room when we asked but I unfortunately broke it. The lats broke lol. Too many pies, hence all the check ins at the gym lately. They sorted it straight away though.
They have a shop too with those essentials you forget like toothpaste and the all important chocolate for those midnight snacks.
They don’t like you singing gospel songs at 3 am though down in the canteen but hey, they gots te have rules. I wouldn’t have wanted to be above us. The breakfast wasn’t exactly luxury but was free and for 30 quid a night, it’s a good deal.

Lovely accommodation for a hostel! We
had three beds, plus our own washroom. I was pleasantly surprised!

I really don’t understand why this hostel has received such great reviews. When traveling, a few things are very important; good WiFi and clean washrooms. This hostel had neither.
WiFi is only available in the kitchen and lobby. As soon as you go into another area of the hostel, the WiFi cuts off. I even tried going to the living room next to the lobby, and I lost the WiFi connection.
Washrooms were plain weird. You had one huge washroom in a room for 8 people, and there were no curtains or anything to keep the water from leaving the shower area. So basically, after you showered you were walking around on a wet floor trying not to fall. Also, you have to bring your own towel or pay to use one.
Breakfast was average. You got toast, a couple of fruit options, jam, butter, 2 choices of cereal and coffee/​tea.

This hostel is pretty nice. My only complaint is that the shower and toilet lights were out on the second floor. So it took a longer time to shower and use the bathroom. The haunted tales surrounding some of the rooms were very interesting. The restaurant attached to the hostel had the BEST calzones and lasagna I have ever tasted.

This is hands down the best hostel I have ever stayed out.
The rooms are clean and spacious, as well as the bathrooms. They have plenty of storage — shelves, places to hang your coats, etc (many hostels don’t). There is lots of space in the common areas as well if you want to lounge around. Some hostels try to squeeze people in, but not at Rowan Tree — I felt like I was at a hotel. You can tell that care has been taken in the décor and unkeep of the building. Not to mention that the location is fantastic, it’s right in downtown Ennis and an effortless walk to the shops/​pubs/​restaurants.
I would definitely stay here again.

Located 20 minutes from Shannon Airport, Rowan Tree Hostel is the cutest little hostel located in the cutest little town!
This is probably the cleanest and tidiest place I’ve EVER stayed whilst traveling! Great access to the city centre… maybe a two minute walk down the road? Beautiful grounds and a restaurant on site. Ennis is a lovely little place to visit.
This place is almost too nice to be considered a hostel… it was honestly so lovely!
Give this place a visit and make sure to visit Ennis! Great for live music.
