Hostel Singer Pub

I've been travelling for a month and have stayed in many hostels, hotels and guest houses along the way. This place was the best value for money. We booked a double room and it was actually a nice, roomy apartment with a kitchenette with an electric hob, fridge and dining space and a private bathroom with a powerful, hot shower. The apartment was clean and new-looking throughout and the bed was huge and easily the most comfortable bed I've slept in on my travels. There are laundry facilities and also good WiFi connection. We had to check in at the bar in the pub underneath the hostel. The staff member that checked us in simply showed us our room and told us to check out whenever we liked. I like this no-nonsense approach. Too often you spend 30 mins checking in whilst the receptionist talks you through everything. This is not the case here, you get your key and you get shown to your room. Perfect for a weary traveller! We were too tired to pop down for a drink at the bar, but it seemed lively as it was a Saturday night. There is some noise from the pub but I think if you book a room above a pub you can't start moaning if it gets a bit noisy! It didn't bother us, it was almost cancelled out when we shut the window and door. There is no reception desk as such so our only complaint is that when we wanted some travel info and coffee in the morning, we were greeted with a closed door. Not a huge issue, we went to the info centre which is 2 mins walk away. The hostel is right next to the main square, and at €30 for a Saturday night, we were more than pleased with our stay!
