Glendalough International Hostel in Wicklow

Glendalough  Hostel

Glendalough Hostel is open for bookings for 2023. Glendalough is one of Ireland’s most beautiful visitors’ destinations. The county of Wicklow, just south of Dublin is even known as “The Garden of Ireland” because of the lush broad spectrum of greens you’ll see all around you! The hostel is set in a wooded valley amid spectacular countryside ideal for exploring Glendalough National Park on foot. The Glendalough area has a constant flow of tourists attracted to the area to enjoy its spectacular scenery, rich history, archaeology and abundant wildlife. The Wicklow Mountains National Park with visitor centre is right next to the hostel as well as the world famous Monastic Site with a Round Tower.

The great thing about Glendalough is that it’s only an hour and half drive from Dublin and can be reached by direct public bus from Dublin City Centre - so it’s easy to reach! Staying in Glendalough is a great way to forget about the hustle & bustle of everyday life and just relax and take in the picturesque sights!

Glenmalure Youth Hostel in Wicklow

Glenmalure Hostel

Glenmalure Hostel in County Wicklow, “The Garden of Ireland”, is a simple mountain lodge in the style of an Irish traditional house and that's the reason it’s so popular!


It's open from 1st June – 31st Aug (& Saturday nights all year). To make an enquiry or book a stay, please email info@anoige.ie.


Set in a place of great beauty that is both iconic and tranquil, it was originally
built as a Hunting Lodge in 1903. Glenmalure has no running water or electricity so it’s perfect for nature lovers who want to get away from it all and have a unique experience.


Don’t worry too much – there is a gas-powered cooker and gas-powered fridge and chemical toilet and  a stream nearby for water to boil and plenty of wood logs to keep the open fire going well into the night.


This provides the perfect atmosphere for discussions and the opportunity to cultivate new friendships, have some banter or even a good old sing song!


This wonderful hostel is also available to book out for private use, a great way for a group of friends or family to spend some quality, media-free, time together in a beautiful setting.
