About Celtic Group Hostels

Founded in 1994, Celtic Group Hostels was initially formed by our hostels in Ireland to specialise in group bookings for them.

Twenty three years later….. We are now the top network of hostels in Ireland specialising in group bookings and activity & tours booking services.

Our hostels are situated in ideal locations for group tours - five located in Dublin city centre, three along the Wild Atlantic Way in Galway City, Connemara and at the Cliffs of Moher in the Burren and two located in Cork City centre, the gateway for exploring Southern Ireland and Ireland’s ancient east.

We don’t just provide great hostel beds in great locations, we can help with EVERY aspect of your groups visit. We also provide an extensive activities & tours booking service for all groups that stay in our hostels – these services range from airport transfers, meals, day tours, most popular visitor attractions through to Irish experiences and beyond sightseeing special interest visits. This service is exclusive to groups that book with us and available at discounted group prices.

That’s the difference when you book your group hostel accommodation with Celtic Group Hostels group booking specialists - whatever help you need, we’ll be there for you, working with you to plan and organise your group hostel booking and things to do, to make your groups visit as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible.

In Dublin we have a central reservations office dedicated to group bookings, staffed with a small experienced team. Everything we do, every day, is designed to make it as easy as possible for group travel organisers to make bookings in our hostels. You won’t believe how helpful we can be looking after all aspects of your group booking with constant support and back-up during the process.

Each year over 800 groups enjoy our hostels in Dublin, Cork, Galway City, The Cliffs of Moher and Connemara. Our repeat booking levels are the highest in the market with hundreds of groups and thousands of students coming back to us every year.
