Frequently asked questions about hostels in Ireland

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget-conscious travellers, many free and low-cost activities are available. Walking tours of Dublin, Galway, or Kilkenny are a great way to explore historical sites and charming streets without spending a fortune. Many national parks, such as Killarney National Park and Connemara National Park, offer stunning scenery and hiking trails with minimal entrance fees. Visiting smaller, lesser-known towns and villages often provides a more authentic Irish experience at a lower cost. Free activities include exploring beaches like Inch Beach or enjoying traditional music sessions in pubs (though drinks will add cost).
  • What are the best hostels in Ireland?

    Among the hostels in Ireland, Kinlay Hostel Eyre Square, Galway City Hostel - Solo Traveller Hostel and The Black Sheep Hostel are the most popular ones.

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Ireland?

    Dublin Airport (DUB) is the largest and busiest airport, handling the majority of international flights. Cork Airport (ORK) and Shannon Airport (SNN) are also significant, serving both domestic and international routes, but handle considerably less traffic than Dublin.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Ireland?

  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Ireland?

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Ireland?

    Navigating Ireland's roads can be straightforward, but it's important to be aware of narrow, winding roads, especially in rural areas. A GPS or satnav is highly recommended, particularly outside of major cities. Driving on the left-hand side of the road is essential to remember. Be prepared for some single-track roads requiring careful negotiation and consideration for oncoming traffic.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Ireland?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Ireland are Kinlay Hostel Eyre Square, The Black Sheep Hostel and The Nest Boutique Hostel.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in Ireland?

    Respectful travel involves being mindful of local customs. Saying 'please' and 'thank you' goes a long way. It's polite to engage in conversation with locals but avoid intrusive questions about personal matters. When visiting pubs, it's customary to take turns buying rounds of drinks. Respect quiet times in residential areas, especially in smaller villages. Learning a few basic Irish phrases is always appreciated.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Ireland?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Ireland are Latroupe Jacobs Inn, Rainbow Hostel and Lakeland House.

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Ireland?

    St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) is the most internationally recognised Irish festival, with parades and celebrations nationwide. However, many other local festivals showcase Irish culture. Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, a major traditional Irish music festival, is held annually in a different location. Numerous smaller, local festivals celebrate harvest time, often involving traditional music, dance, and food.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in Ireland?

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Ireland?

    For medical emergencies, dial 112 or 999. The Garda Síochána (Irish police) can be reached at 999 or 112 for non-medical emergencies.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Ireland?

    A week allows for exploring a good portion of the country. A popular itinerary might involve exploring Dublin for a couple of days, then heading west to Galway and the Connemara region for stunning scenery. A loop through the Ring of Kerry in County Kerry is another option, offering dramatic coastal views and charming towns. Alternatively, focusing on the north, exploring Belfast and the Antrim Coast with its Giant's Causeway, offers a different perspective.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Ireland?

    For a weekend getaway, Dublin offers a concentrated dose of Irish history, culture, and nightlife. Alternatively, a trip to Galway provides a vibrant city experience with easy access to the beautiful Connemara region. Cork city offers a more relaxed atmosphere with historical sites and nearby coastal areas.
  • Are there specific regions known for great weather?

    Ireland's weather is notoriously unpredictable. However, the south-west coast, including areas like County Kerry and County Cork, generally experiences slightly milder temperatures and more sunshine than other parts of the country, though this is not a guarantee.
