Old Mill Holiday Hostel is located in Westport and housed in a historic building dating back to around 1780. Free WiFi access is available, as well as a shared kitchen. Other facilities offered at the property include a shared lounge.

Clean, central, great character. Great staff. Due to Covid and low numbers of travellers the woman separated people so they avoided sharing rooms. I had a 6 bed room to myself. That flexibility is responsible and appreciated.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    A beautiful house finished to the highest standards. It was spotlessly clean and it is a great location for climbing Croagh Patrick e.t.c.. Very quiet, safe area with space for parking around the back of the house. Very nice homely touches. We thorough enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this house.

    The hotel was in a great location away from the busy and touristy town center. The cafe/bar/restaurant area and service were pleasant. The main drawbacks were that the toilets did not flush well and the third-floor room we had was hot/stuffy, and the windows would only open about an inch--for safety reasons, yes, but it was uncomfortable to try tp sleep.

    Great location, lovely apartment, plenty of room for 4 people. Spotless clean. One criticism, stairs very steep/narrow but there is a handrail but a second handrail would make it safer. I noticed that the carpet on top step looks like it is coming away, I would remove altogether. Otherwise all good.

    Great location, great building, clean and the only staff there were two very friendly volunteers. Price would have been good value if I could have sat upright in the bunk bed and had there been even a small bedside locker of chair in the room. Kitchen facility was very good, also very clean. Very close to amenities.

    We had a lovely if brief stay for a cycling weekend in Westport and Lurgan House was great. It is located on a quiet side road about halfway between Westport town and Westport harbour so a great location. We were able to store our bikes safely and we had a lovely relaxing stay with a delicious homemade breakfast.

    Cheap, beautiful building, the breakfast included was light but enough for me and decent given the price (bread, butter, jam, tea/coffee, oat), the room wasn't crowded when I was at the hostel (5 persons in the 10 beds dorm room), well-located.
