Old Mill Holiday Hostel

Convenient location and good price. I will stay here again when in the area.

Very good location, decent staff, comfy beds. The wifi worked well. Worth what I paid for it.

The bunk beds had very little headroom between them. Thank god I got a top bunk. The beds were also a bit wobbly. I was always a tad worried that the structure would collapse (though maybe that's just my anxiety talking). I was only there for a night, and I never used the showers. But my roommates did. And they said they sucked (no hot water).

Great staff - great location

It’s a hostel. You know what your getting but not as restful have people coming and going from the room at different times

The people who live and work in the hostel are super friendly, especially Shannon, even had an amazing craic despite a late check-in. If not for prior

The shower facilities are debatable

Stellar location! Lovely old building with brand new carpet! Really nice staff! This is a hostel, no doubt about it. Breakfast was fine -- make your own toast/oatmeal/coffee/tea etc. The facility provided butter and jam. Hot water was on-demand, which was nice. Mattress, pillow, linens -- all fine. Plentiful TP in the toilets. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cookware, cloths, towels. Fridge is quite full but serviceable. Top floor is two flights up -- relatively steep stairs to get there, but OK if you're able and/or have light luggage. In August, the other lodgers were an international bunch -- very friendly. You can't beat it for the price!

No paper towels anywhere, so a shared cloth towel was hung in the ladies restroom on my floor. THIN walls between rooms. I heard a woman having a mid-volume conversation like she was right outside my open window -- but she was on the other side of the wall behind my head. Sadly, this woke me up at 11pm despite my earplugs. (I was jet-lagged and went to bed early). The bed was a bunk on a metal frame, so a bit squeaky (but could have been worse).

Breakfast was available. I brought my own from the night before. Great chance to share food if you don't wish to take it home with you. The hostel have constant boiling water, teabags coffee sugar so nice to help yourself.They supply porridge oats, bread jams and real butter for breakfast. Just lovely.A kind porter called Aurelia showed me along with others to their rooms. Very considerate to an older woman and he has a good heart, patience and kindness.I arrived earlier than check in, they kindly let me leave a small bag of my things instead of carrying it on my walk. Check in is after 3:30 pm. I got to Westport at 11am. So they were very kind to do that.Shower rooms very clean and spacious. Need to be able to climb stairs ok to stay here. Not suitable for wheelchairs or people struggling with stairs. Thanks for a lovely place where people can meet and help each other along the way.God bless them all.

Good to have a female only dormitory but I am not used to sleeping in the same room as others so that general rustling and movement that you get when you share a room kept me awake. I'm sure they would say the same about me. Clean beds Thanks be to God.

Safe, cozy, and clean!! This is the best place to stay if you want a cost-efficient, well-located stay in Westport :)

The hostel is perfectly located and is an old restored building that keeps a lot of the spirit of Westport in the walls and beams.

Breakfast provided is only toast and jam, even a bit of fruit would be a nice touch to round it out. The showers could also use a shelf to stop you from having to balance your soap precariously, but all in all a lovely spot.

Cute place, nice staff, clean and organized.

Not many sockets in the room and no place to put/hang your stuff during a shower.

Good location in downtown Westport, no other hostals in the area, and great place to meet other travelers. This place is good for a night or two but not longer.

Unfriendly and unhelpful staff, everything is old and not super clean.

It was conveniently located right in the heart of Westport, and had a great kitchen and eating area.

The bunk beds were tiny. So small you couldn’t fit luggage underneath and you couldn’t sit up in bed. There was no boxes to lock your things in. The room was stuffy and incredibly hot. The showers only worked at scalding temperatures and stopped every 10 seconds. The communal area was separate from the sleeping area, such that you couldn’t access your food or the kitchen after 10pm, plus they didn’t unlock the common area kitchen until 8:45 one morning and I nearly missed my bus. There was also hardly ever anyone at reception - made it hard to check in or ask a question.

The location was good.Access was good.

The early checkout time, 10.00.The bathroom floor was very wet / bordering on flooded.

Staff very nice, well located,

Seemed dated

good location, good atmosphere, clean, friendly staff

Good location, room was quiet and cool, good shower/toilet facilities.

Reception was closed although we arrived within the opening hours, took a while to get someone to come check us in. The pillow I had was quite big and not ideal for sleeping on your back but would work well for a side sleeper.

I had a great experience at the Hostel, a great reception and everything very clean and organized. Wonderful staff.

The bed was very comfortable, the hostel was clean and the facilities were excellent. The location is right in the centre of town.

Staff were excellent at reception, especially a man who checked us in. Great location.

Showers were cold and very very poor flow.

Location

Noise guests highly intoxicated guests getting sick in bathroom noise banging most of the night staff tried to deal with problem but it continued long into the night never again for me

The breakfast options and place was nice to sit and eat. The Bathroom was neat (not the best one i've seen but neat). THhe hostel overall was well maintained.

Nothing much to complain for a smaller hostel and in a small town. It was just a night's stay for me.
