Railway Hostel Sleeper
Railway Sleeper Hostel is located inside Castlerock’s historic railway station, originally built in 1853 by renowned architect John Lanyon. The building has been carefully restored to give travellers a unique place to stay while preserving the character of the original station.
The concept
Railway Sleeper Hostel was created to provide affordable accommodation on the Causeway Coast while celebrating the heritage of the railway. The hostel is designed for travellers looking for something different. A social, relaxed place to stay while exploring one of Ireland’s most beautiful coastlines.
