Michael - "Staying at Barnacles Temple Bar House and it is great too. Met lots of poeple night one and we are all heading out again tonight. . .not much sleep the last few days, but good times."

Vanessa, Sweden - "I’m going to live in Ireland. At some point, I will. Its quite obvious. Dublin was like Nottingham in many ways and I felt at home in the same ways. I loved our Hostel and recommend Barnacles in Dublin to anyone"

Thesaxman, Australia - "So, yesterday, i booked an additional two nights in Galway 'Barnacles', the sister hostel of the 'Barnacles' in Dublin. It turned out to be a great move, a far better vibe, much cosier, equipped with a huge plasma screen tv and chill out room, and perched right in the heart of the cobblestoned drinking quarter right in the guts of town."

Jess, USA - "Kyle and I were hanging out quite a bit and then met up with Ben later in the common room at the hostel. Everyone I kept bumping into I just asked them if they wanted to come out. Almost everyone said yes! So, by 8:45 (our scheduled meeting time) we had a group of 13."
