Portmagee Hostel

This hostel was only built and opened in 2005, and it’s still in fantastic condition.
It provides double rooms with ensuites, double rooms with shared bathrooms, family rooms (double bed and bunks), twin rooms, and ‘dorm’ rooms (a twin room shared with someone of the same gender).
Prices were respectable, and the facilities were perfect. Access to the common areas is 24hour, constant hot water and heating in all rooms. There’s a sitting room with TV, DVD player and some movies, pay internet and two large self-​catering kitchen/​dining areas. I also saw a payphone and there were lots of brochures in the main dining room.
Rooms must be paid for on arrival and they accept cash and cards. Check-​in is between 4pm and 8pm and check out is at 10am. No breakfast is provided, but there is a small foodstore, café and restaurants in the village. There is lots of parking and it’s only a 5 minute walk to the main street of the village. There are no laundry facilities at the hostel, but I heard the community centre in the village does laundry. There’s no ATM in the village, and the staff were happy to organise a trip to the Skelligs for me, which was fantastic.
I’d recommend it, it was the best hostel I stayed at while I was in Ireland.
