The fine print
Need-to-know information for guests at this property

Valid Passport (Non-EU citizens) or ID/Driver's Licence (EU citizens) is required from all guests to complete the check-in procedure.

Credit/Debit card details will be asked for upon arrival as a security deposit to guarantee the hostel rules are followed during your stay. In case of any misbehaviour or damage, charges might apply.

Age Restrictions: By Irish Regulations; guests between 8 and 17 years old are allowed when they are accompanied by an adult parent/guardian, but they cannot share rooms with other guests outside of their party; kids under 8 years old cannot be hosted, even in private rooms.

Groups considerations:

For groups of 4 guests or more, a security deposit of €30 per person in one card transaction only is required.

For groups between 4 and 7 guests, the deposit is payable upon arrival.

For groups of 8 guests or more, the deposit needs to be paid in a payment link which will be sent to you two months prior to your check-in date, and you will have a maximum of 15 days from the time of its delivery to complete the payment, failing on the deposit payment may cause the cancellation of your reservation.

The deposit will be held until the check-out date; it will be non-refundable in case of a cancellation or a modification that reduces the original group size more than 50% within 1 month before the check-in date.

The deposit is refundable upon check-out if the hostel rules were followed during your stay and subject to a damage inspection of the accommodation. There is a €10 charge for each lost/damaged key.

Please make sure to return all the keys by 11 AM upon your check-out.
