The hostel itself is very nice. Its well equipment with all the usual features: Great kitchen, lounge, rooms, and the location itself is stunning. Located within the Mourne mountains, so its a conveniant base for hikes.

Its also located next to the only grocery store within the entire region, in a village called "Attical". For some reason, Attical is not located on ANY of my maps, however it is signposted from Kilkeel, and pretty easy to find.

Management however, is terrible.

When I showed up, she was visible irritated. After quick tour, I was charged a stunning £16 for a hostel bed, then told to wait in the lobby while she "took care of some business".

The lobby, which was not heated, was freezing cold, though had a fairly large amount of literature to read.

The manager never returned. I waited an hour, before giving up and heading into town to get some dinner.

When I returned, the whole place was locked up, and the lights turned off! I ended up driving to Drogheda to find a bed for the night.
