Reviews of Rowan Tree Hostel

B. W.

Had a wonderful stay. Great price for 5 nights at €299. The facilities such as the wash rooms and kitchen were always cleaned to high standards. The staff were so accommodating and made me and my girlfriend feel so welcome on a trip together answering any queries at all hours. Great location in the town whilst the rooms were clean and comfortable.

C. C.

Just had a lovely stay in the rowan tree hostel. My friends and I stayed there for two nights and we loved it. The rooms were spacious and clean and the staff were excellent. In particular Darragh was so helpful and made us feel so safe staying there. Would highly recommend!

L. M.

Beautiful spot. Got a private room with double bed. Was spotless. Staff very very friendly. And right in the centre of ennis. Town is only 5 mins over a bridge. Would highly recommend.

D. B.

The staff were fantastic. Very friendly. Place has an electronic lock on the main entrance. The gate around also has a magnetic lock but only on after like 2 AM. Push buzzer and speaker to get in. Good security, reassuring. Electronic NFC cards to get onto floor and into rooms that just work. Found the breakfast situation quite strange. Didn't bother as a result. Probably just me. Overall, nice building, great staff. Would definitely recommend it.

M. C.

Amazing Hostel. Super clean and spacious rooms with beautiful balcony views of Ennis town. Friendly staff. The food in the cafe bar is to die for. A credit to Brian and his team. We will be back!

M. C.

Gorgeous Hostel. Double room was beautifully done. Simple effective decor. Staff very helpful. Loved it.

V. K.

This is the BEST hostels I've ever stayed at ! The staff went out of their way to help and accommodate me and ALL of there guests ! The free breakfast was wonderful....I really liked my room # 109 can I have it again, when I return...Thank you so mush, for your outstanding hospitality....I'll be back. Ennis is the perfect size of town, lots to see and do.

Perfect! We had a big, clean room with one bed more than expected. Breakfast was as nice and kitchen equipment in good condition. Staff was very helpful and professional and the location by the river was beautiful! Very close to Dunnes. All in all a great Hostel! I definitely recommend it.

C. M.

Front desk service was nice and helpful. Wifi was free and worked pretty well. Bathrooms were clean, plenty of hot water. Stayed in a 10 bed mixed dorm. Had a patio which was cool, even though it was too cold to use. Kitchen was fine, the dining area was good as well. It had a pool table which is always fun. Beds were a bit firm, depending on your preference. The included breakfast was typical Continental style. Would stay again.

W. R.

I stayed here for essential travel during level-5 lockdown. Everything was clean and the clerks very nice. The en-suite room was a great price, too! ☘️🇮🇪💕🤛

This is the first time I am staying in a hostel. The location is very good, right in town centre. The staff is very friendly and so are the hostel guests in general. I have got a really big ensuite room overlooking the river. The room and bathroom are very clean. The only problem is d wash basin has 2 separate tap heads so I either get very hot or very cold water. There is a huge kitchen and dining area for us to use and it is real fun cooking together with the other guests.

S. M.

I should have been warned by the term "Hostel", but they advertise private rooms with ensuite, so we booked it. The mid-Ennis location is great, you can walk to everything. The room was extremely basic, supplying bedding and two towels and that's it! Bathroom floor was sticky and rug tiles in the room did not look very clean. We didn't mind the make-it-yourself and self- clean -up breakfast of toast, and tea/coffee. There is someone on duty 24 hours a day. I expected it would be basic, but the price was anything but.

N. M.

Staff at the front desk was friendly, laundry access was reasonably priced and the machines are industrial grade. (very large loads) I stayed there for one night. Only major complaint I had was that the beds were HARD as a rock.

D. S.

I brought a large school group (80 boys) in May. I found this Hostel very accommodating in everything from rooms to dinning service. The staff were especially helpful and the manager was very "hands on" and available to sort out any questions we had. He even gave me a brief explanation of the building itself and Ennis which allowed me to understand this part of Ireland better. Couldn't have asked for more!

P. H.

Fab rooms fantastic service extremely clean better than some hotels I've stayed in will definitely be back

A. S.

Great hostel ideally located. Couldn't be closer to what Ennis has to offer. Included breakfast was good as well. Would go back without a doubt.

M. N.

This is a fantastic hostel situated along a river with easy access to town,all the shop and tons of pubs and restaurants. The hostel has everything you need and the staff is great. Huge guest kitchen and fridge, free continental breakfast and WiFi. 10 minute walk to the bus station makes this a great stop for some rest and relaxation!

R. N.

This is a great place to take in the sites of Ennis. There are many rooms and even rooms for families with bath and shower. There is a full kitchen... more a restaurant type power kitchen to cook in... very awesome. They also have Landry and a great dining room with a pool table. If you bored go to the other common room and watch TV, put in a movie or chat. Great location!!!

E. P.

Beautiful place to stay. Very accommodating. We will most definitely be back next summer. Ron and Elaine Co Meath

V. B.

A. M. M.

S. T.

Excellent place! Clean, spacious, and staff are very helpful. The restaurant is amazing if a little bit expensive. Best hostel anywhere!

J. C.

Great SAFE spot for those passing through, or spending time in Ennis. The staff was very friendly. The hostel was clean, and quiet. I will definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in Ennis.

E. G.

It was ok. The place was nice and clean. Did not cater for gluten intolerance or dairy based allergies. Basic breakfast of cereal and bread. Also had to do your own dishes afterwards.

E. M.

Great location, friendly helpful 24-hour reception desk plus common kitchen and dining room and continental breakfast included. Private room was large, assume dorms are good since fully booked?

J. R.

Whenever I'm in Ennis I stay at the Rowan Tree. Accommodations, kitchen/dining facilituesare all top notch and very clean. They always go above and beyond. 6 weeks ago i messaged them after a stay that I'd left a pair of earrings and would pick them up in a week. Dropped in this afternoon and there they were in an envelope with my name on it. A+ establishment.

C. M.

Friendly. Great location. Great dining room with pool table. Spacious kitchen. Cosy and comfortable on a cold night. Wish all beds had reading lights.

L. A.

Really great experience for a Hostel. Much better than I ever expected. We even had a private room and a pribate bathroom so it wasn't all that different from a hotel experience!

This guest house make you Feel like at home ! I remenber i was Felt in security and it’s Beautiful place ! You can meet some people amazing ! The staff crew guide you to the place you want to visit and you find some bus and train and airport easy ! The Best place to sleep if you want visit the Cliff of Moher!

(Translated) A little noisy. The rooms are spacious and well organized, although a bit dated. The hotel has a restaurant and even offers benefits to guests who reside there. A laundry room is available (€ 4 for washing, 4 for drying) and that's a big plus. Self-service breakfast in the morning, you have to go wash your dishes afterwards. The hotel is well located, you can go almost everywhere in town directly on foot. Very friendly and welcoming staff. (Original) Un peu bruyant. Les chambres sont spacieuses et bien organisées, bien qu'un peu vétustes. L'hôtel dispose d'un restaurant et propose même des avantages aux clients qui y résident. Une laverie est mise en disposition (4€ pour lavage, 4 pour séchage) et c'est un gros plus. Petit déjeuner le matin en self service, il faut aller laver sa vaisselle après. L'hôtel est bien situé, on peut aller à peu près partout en ville directement à pieds. Personnel très aimable et accueillant.

(Translated) We stayed at this wonderful hostel for two weeks with a group of 18 students. The rooms where we stayed were spacious, clean, all equipped with toilets; the staff was courteous and patient: we always found a smile in response to our every request. We recommend it for families and groups. (Original) Abbiamo soggiornato in questo magnifico ostello per due settimane, con un gruppo di 18 studenti. Le camere in cui abbiamo dormito erano spaziose, pulite, dotate tutte di servizi igienici; il personale è stato cortese e paziente:abbiamo sempre trovato un sorriso in risposta ad ogni nostra richiesta. Lo consigliamo per famiglie e gruppi.

(Translated) Very well-run village hostel. It has access on two sides to the center of the town (on weekends it is quite lively at night). It is separated into two wings, one hostel and one hotel. The sinks are always clean. The breakfast is very good, they put the ingredients and you do it. The reception is open all night. (Original) Hostel de pueblo muy bien llevado. Tiene acceso por dos lados al centro del pueblo (los fines de semana está bastante animado por la noche). Está separado en dos alas, uno de hostel y otro de hotel. Los lavabos estan limpios siempre. El desayuno está muy bien, ellos ponen los ingredientes y tú te lo haces. La recepción abre toda la noche.

(Translated) Great hostel, neat and clean. Nice staff. (Original) Geweldig hostel, netjes en schoon. Leuke staff.

(Translated) comfortable and nice rooms. The environment of the hotel is very nice. I'll prepare breakfast in the kitchen of your hotel. You do whatever you want whenever you want and you serve in the dining room. (Original) Habitaciones cómodas y bonitas. El entorno del hotel es muy bonito. El desayuno te lo preparas tu en la cocina del hotel. Te haces lo que quieras cuántas veces quieras y te lo sirves en el comedor.

(Translated) Cozy clean very well organized. Basic but comfortable room. At the reception courtesy and sympathy. Practically a stone's throw from the center. Very satisfied 😊👍🏼 (Original) Accogliente pulito molto ben organizzato. Camera essenziale ma confortevole. Alla reception cortesia e simpatia. Praticamente a due passi dal centro. Soddisfattissimo 😊👍🏼

(Translated) The best hotel in which I have been far. Very friendly staff, they helped us in a reservation and they printed us the boarding cards of a flight without any additional cost. The good breakfast and the large, cozy and clean rooms. (Original) El mejor hotel en el que he estado de lejos. Personal muy amable, nos ayudaron en una reserva y nos imprimieron las tarjetas de embarque de un vuelo sin ningún coste adicional. El desayuno bueno y las habitaciones grandes, acogedoras y limpias.

L. V.

(Translated) Clean. The room with 6 bunk beds also has a bathroom. Breakfast is DIY with what you have available in the kitchen. It is in central position. (Original) Pulito. La camera con 6 letti a castello ha anche il bagno. La colazione è fai da te con quello che ti mettono a disposizione in cucina. Si trova in posi azione centrale.

N. M.

(Translated) Place without human except the reception then as small robots are accessed to the room, everything is summary. Common fridge, it's a little mess, kitchen utensils in not very good condition, small dj we use what a human has prepared but we do not see, we cook an egg if we want . It is necessary to raise cloths under which are arranged the slices of bread to grill, a machine serves us hot water and coffee. The milk is heated. Bad. If there were no guests it would be boring. So it does not encourage to talk. I felt this place as a business house. And to top it all the noise waltz from 6am with doors slamming, rooms, people leaving, with a peak at 8am. Attention leave the kitchen before 9:30. After no longer available until 10:30 am, for the cleaning. In short low price ok, but tristounette mood. I knew better in other countries. I do not want to try another one in Ireland. And then sometimes BandB are not so much more expensive. That's my feeling. Everyone must make his opinion. (Original) Lieu sans humain sauf la réception puis tels des petits robots on accède à la chambre, tout y est sommaire. Frigo commun, c'est un peu le bazar, ustensiles de cuisine en pas très bon état, petit dèj on se sert de ce qu'un humain a préparé mais qu'on ne voit pas, on se fait cuire un oeuf si on veut. Il faut soulever des torchons sous lesquels sont disposés les tranches de pain à griller, une machine nous sert eau chaude et café. On chauffe le lait. Bof. S'il n'y avait pas les clients ce serait bien ennuyeux. Du coup ça n'incite pas à causer. J'ai ressenti ce lieu comme une maison à business. Et pour couronner le tout la valse de bruit dès 6h du matin avec les portes qui claquent, des chambres, des gens qui partent, avec un pic à 8h. Attention quitter la cuisine avat 9h30. Après plus dispo jusqu'à 10h30, pour le ménage. Bref prix bas ok, mais àmbiance tristounette. J'ai connu mieux dans d'autres pays. Je n'ai pas envie d'en tester d'autre en Irlande. Et puis parfois les BandB sont pas tellement plus chers. Voilà mon ressenti. Chacun doit se faire son avis.

(Translated) Quiet place, spacious and clean room. Bathrooms are separate for men and women. The breakfast is very correct. Good value for money (Original) Endroit calme, chambre spacieuse et propre. Les salles de bains sont séparées pour hommes et femmes. Le petit dejeuner est très correct. Bon rapport qualité prix

(Translated) Colle location, relaxed staff, cozy rooms, decent shower, free breakfast, possibility to do the laundry and dry for an appel and an egg. Free wifi, very good kitchen and a leisure / TV room. however, the walls are not 100% soundproof (Original) Colle Lage, entspannte Mitarbeiter, gemütliche Zimmer, vernünftige dusche, kostenloses Frühstück, Möglichkeit die Wäsche zu waschen und zu trocknen für ein Appel und ein Ei. Freies WLAN, sehr gute Küche und ein Freizeit/Fernseh Raum. allerdings sind die Wände nicht zu 100% schalldicht

(Translated) Great location, Everything you need to get off Shannon without worrying too much (or end your stay before resuming your Ryanair flight!)

Accueil efficace avec bon plans sur les Pubs musique et resto. Vraiment une bonne adresse et à 2 pas de la rue la plus typique en terme de couleur et d'originalité
