I spoke to Tony the owner regarding this, and he's looking into improving them. If you're looking for a well organised B&B, where all is arranged for you, than this is not the place for you. With a very welcoming and relaxed way about it, it's simplicity and non complexity of the place, this is a great place for an uncomplicated stay.

All Around Best Hostel I've Been To…read more I would like to start off saying my mom and I are at the end of a 32 day backpacking trip through Europe and the UK. Out of all the hostels we've stayed in this trip, and ones I've stayed in on other trips, this was my favorite and most accommodating. It was the best on SO many levels. When we got there, they were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We screwed up a bit in the booking part and they worked with us and helped us out tremendously. Once checked in, we got a great tour of the facilities. -They have a great TV area where people can watch Netflix, use their computers or just hang out -They have a nice open kitchen with 2 sinks for convenience -A cool dining area next to the kitchen that has a pool table and foosball table along with seating -You can wash and dry laundry for a small charge -The rooms are large! Great size! (We stayed in both the 4 and 6 bed rooms) -They have included breakfast, which is always a plus It had a really great and comfortable vibe. If you just wanted to meet people and hang out, you could. It was in a killer location, a short walk to everywhere you want or need to go. I really couldn't speak or think any more highly of this place.

Compared to other hostels, this one is just ok. They only have 5 showers in the entire hostel so if…read morethe hostel is fully booked during your stay it's a bit annoying to have a wait or wake up ultra early just to shower. The water was always hot though so that's a plus. Also, it's not super dirty but it's not clean either. It's like it hasn't been vacuumed in a solid 4 months but they probably sweep once and awhile. I also got sick just from sleeping there so thats always a rough sign for me. On the plus: the staff is very helpful but there is only one person working at a time so they can only help for so long. The free breakfast was nice and the game of thrones tour leaving from the hostel was nice, just be prepared to walk a lot...like really a lot....like miles and miles. But still, it was beautiful. I personally wouldn't stay here again but it's not a bad choice for a quick stay.

We booked in for the weekend of the Slane concert, 25 EUR per person for two nights. Good value and…read morea good plan of action as my abiding memory of going to a concert at Slane Castle was the endless amount of walking from car parks / bus parks to the venue. And then the huge amount of time spent sitting in traffic trying to leave. It's a great venue, but I have avoided it in the past because of how difficult it is to get to and from there. Slane Farm Hostel was 300 metres from the Slane Castle grounds if the information they provided was to be believed. I took this with a pinch of salt, but it had to be better than arriving and leaving on the day, right? It ended up being just over 1 KM away for a finish (from camp to the gate we were allowed to enter by). Still, it was better than previous experiences. I don't know why I thought camping for the Foo Fighters concert was going to be anything other than a regular festival camping experience. There was plenty of screaming and shouting, which is fine (ear plugs). Other festival camping effects that I wont go into. But hey, SFH can't control people being idiots. And I need to finally accept I've grown out of camping at concerts :) The first camping field did seem to me to be too full by the time they opened the second field. I'm sure the staff controlling this tried to get people to park and pitch sensibly and I can imagine it's like herding cats. Our plans to depart at a reasonable hour on Sunday morning looked scuppered. But we managed to leave before 10 am in the end, which was great. At the moment I'm not sure I can recommend this as an alternative to going to and from Slane Castle for concerts on the day itself. Catch 22. All that said the staff we dealt with directly seemed nice enough. And I saw who looked like the owner dealing with an issue with the toilets down by the yards on Saturday morning - it was good to see they cared about that. And the toilets down by the yard always had loo roll.. If an opportunity to camp here at any other time of the year came up, I would go back to Slane Farm Hostel as their facilities seemed fine.
