Rainbow hostel

It was a very easygoing stay, and the staff seemed lovely. I thought camping for one person should cost less, more like 10e or 12e. I left because it was too expensive, and there are plenty of places nearby for wild camping.

The building looks lovely, and the welcome was friendly. Our room was clean and roomy, with comfortable beds and what we needed for a short stay. The location was handy, and waking up to birds and sheep was a nice change. But I wouldn’t come back if I wanted a good night’s sleep. Room 15 was right beside the only upstairs toilet, which seemed to serve six or more rooms. It was constantly occupied, and we could hear every visit and what people were doing in there. Other travelers have apparently raised this issue years ago, but nothing seems to have been done about it. The water pipes kept making noise as well. We could hear people on the stairs, chairs being moved in the ground-floor lobby, and even the downstairs sink. There’s no blind on the skylight, so daylight comes in very early.

There’s a friendly vibe here, and the price is good value. The facilities were clean, with free showers that worked well, plus a big kitchen and dining area. It’s about a 15-minute walk to Dingle town.

We stayed in July 2025, and the campsite is very well located for town. It was handy having the indoor kitchen and lounge, too. The weekend was busy, with tents pitched so close together it felt more like a festival than a campsite. The road noise was pretty loud, so I’d recommend bringing earplugs.
