The truth is that we booked a double room and got a room for 6 with only the 2 of us, with bunks in the room. We pais 50 euro for the room wich was the same price we paid the following day for a lovely B&B. Maybe for backpackers or groups is ok, but not for couples!

Having no sheets/pillow cases was the defining issue - not supplied nor available for hire - I asked! So repeated users have the same bed clothes including pillows!
Hostel response:
Good Morning, We are sorry to see that comment and the wrong impression that you had about the room. I think there was a misunderstanding regarding the bedlinen as you were probably asking for an extra single white sheet? I worked in hostels in Australia for a few years and i know that they provide extra linen on top of the duvet cover, but that also means that the duvet cover doesn't get changed as often. In Ireland and Europe, it is common for hostels to have the following provided as we do: pillow case, single fitted sheet and a duvet with duvet cover. That's that. Now I can guarantee you and our future guests that absolutely ALL bedlinen is changed and cleaned after each guest departure (and changed at guest request if needed). Anyone hanging around after 10 am can see our housekeepers at work everyday in rooms and laundry... Best regards, Cyrus, manager
