Reviews for Rougey Lodge Hostel
Review 1:The beds were noisy and too soft. When we arrived in the living room to watch a movie as it is provided for guests, we had to wait for the staff to leave as they were all occupying the L-shaped couch plus the other couch. It was slightly irritating. To our understanding this area is for guests. When they left 1 member of staff stayed, Yolanda. I sat down and it did not seem to bother her that she had she was sitting with her legs laid on the couch in such a way that her feet were right next to me. I guess we do not all have the same sense of manners. The room looked nothing like the room in the picture.
Review 2:Staff was really nice. In particular Laura. The living room is a great spot to kick back and relax after a surf session. The place has a pizza oven. Lidl pizza came out as it would from a pizzeria :)
Review 3:Having to go home
Review 4:We had a great 3 nights here. The staff are very friendly and helpfull. It has a great area for chilling very comphy couch. Also kitchen area is very good and clean. We will definitely be back.
Review 5:It seemed expensive for hostel accommodation in comparison to bnb options in the area
Review 6:Staff and relaxed atmosphere. Needing to pay extra for a towel was unexpected
Review 7:The only fault we had was that the bread for breakfast was blue moulded so we just ate out. This is a surfing lodge, so naturally there would be young surfer while we were there, but the partying went on until 3am, loud, drunk antics went on til all hours and noone seemed to stop them. Never got a winks sleep with a long early drive home the next day.
Review 8:The Staff are lovely at Rougey lodge, couldn't be more helpful, the location is good, very central to town and beach & bars. The wifi was great the rooms are basic but clean.
Review 9:Bed wasn't so comfy and breakfast wasn't so fresh. Only one small handtowel provided. Wifi was a bit spotty.
Review 10:Awesome chill staff, super friendly and open. Great view overlooking the beach and close to all amenities.
Review 11:It was a hostel as expected, very noisy though, when the front door closed it shook the whole house, walls were paper thin like a lot of Irish homes, The smell from the bathroom was awful, like a sewer, luckily the door kept the smell in. Pretty lax about checkout time though so thats a plus. All in all it was on the noisy, expensive side of what we expected, pity that Ireland is so expensive to stay in now, daylight robbery.

Review 17:There was no taxi number avaible to take us to the Allingham when an elderly lady had travelled with us. I didnt see any notice board for me to use their service. The blind in room 12 did shut As there were three ladies travelling the only issue was that the mirror in the bathroom was the only one in the room.
