Harbour House

Excellent 7.8/10 thumb up

Rated 7.8 by GoIreland customers
(5 ratings)

Harbour House is a 50 bed Tourist Board Approved hostel with en-suite single rooms, double rooms, twin rooms, family rooms and dormitory rooms. Built in 1860 for the Harbour Master, when Sligo was one of the busiest ports in Ireland; this old house has retained its character, while being turned into warm clean comfortable accommodation at affordable prices - a little more than a hostel.  It is situated only 10 minutes walk from the centre of Sligo town and the main train and bus terminus for the North West of Ireland.

NB: Check in times vary according to day of arrival; Sunday to Thursday 14:00 - 20:00, Friday 14:00 - 22:00 and Saturday 14:00 - 21:00.
