I loved the location (be warned; the closest shop is 3 miles away. Be warned. There are vending machines but if u want food, it’s about 3 miles away.) The windows surrounding the property were beautiful, the scenery was gorgeous, and the vitality and attention to cleanliness of the staff were beyond reproach.

The only things: there were only 2 outlets in my 6 bunk dorm, and they were in a wall away from every bed. Not a huge deal for me, but if the room was full, it would be a bit rough. Also, was very hot at night with no way to remedy. Didn’t ask about it though, so maybe they could turn down the radiator by request.

Wonderful hostel for doing the Wicklow way hike. It has beautiful scenery around it and located right next to the WW path. The staff was very welcoming. There is a large kitchen available to prepare your own food, so make sure to bring the ingredients. There are also some vending machines for snacks and drinks.

Doesn't provide towels. During the stay there was a teenagers camp, which made the place very noisy after quiet hours but that wasn't really the hostel's fault.

Knockree Hostel is an amazing and friendly place!! The facilities were very clean, the room was warm, and the shared spaces very comfortable and welcoming!! The staff were very helpful and friendly too. It’s a very nice place to stay at, in the middle of the countryside, with a wonderful view on the sunrise above the mountains in the morning! The location is also perfect to join the Wicklow Way, only a 10 min walk. Thank you Knockree Hostel!!

As I was the only person staying here for three nights, as well as my sister for one night, we were both upgraded to en suite dormitories respectively. The hostel is clean and warm and the staff/volunteers were friendly and accommodating. Although slightly out of the way without your own transport, this hostel with fabulous views is a great base for anyone hiking in or exploring North Wicklow. Thanks again.

Great location for Wicklow Way. Friendly staff. Lots of space. Comfortable beds. Fabulous views. Friendly fun cat and her kittens roaming for entertainment.

Only downside was limited food options for purchase. Came prepared with lightweight backpacking food but would have purchased chocolate biscuits and more if for sale! Vending machine available but I craved chocolate digestives and bars of Cadburys!!

The location was calm and verdant and perfect as an introduction to the Irish ways. There were 2 pillows!, The duvet was wonderfully snuggly and I could open the window beaide me. Parking off the road was available and the staff were wonderfully helpful throughouty stay.

I kept hitting my head on the bottom of the top bunk, ouch!

Incredibly comfortable mountain hostel with gorgeous views. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bring supermarket food because there are good kitchen facilities.

I would certainly prefer a later check out time.

The staff were extremely kind and helpful. Anna was especially attentive. there were beautiful

the location was a bit more out of the way than we were expecting.

Perfectly located hostel with amazing views. Lovely kind helpful staff.

Booking did not let me know that the hostel offered breakfast for an additional cost but luckily others in the dorm told me.

Thank you to the woman at the reception who gave me a map and information about the Wicklow way. I made it over the mountains to the Lus Mor B&B. Another great stay at this hostel!
