Aaran House Tourist Hostel Reviews

Was there in March and hostel was quiet. Enjoyed my stay and will recommend this place.

I had such a wonderful stay! The owner was knowledgeable about Cork and other areas of Ireland. I felt very safe. I had a great time and would definitely stay there again

Is a good hostel! the staff and facility is very good!and that near the center!

The hostel is opposite of train station, what is good. And also 15 minutes from city center. But we missed the lockers! Very friendly staff. But the rooms are very poor. For one night is ok...

A little hostel situated quite conveniently opposite the train station. Owned and staffed by one very helpful lady, Tracey who resides there too. We were there throughout a particularly cold spell and she gave us extra blankets and a heater for our room. There are some kitchen facilities (no oven) for basic cooking which is good if you are travelling on a budget. The facilities otherwise, in the rooms, are basic, but for the price you wouldn't dare complain. Overall, a good experience.

Tracy was amazing and so welcoming ! I felt more like in a Bed and Breakfast than in a hostel because she really made me feel at home. The area is very quiet, close to the city center (10 minutes walking) and to the bus station and train station. I usually never provide feedback on hostels but I highly recommend this one.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hostel. It's a small house, just in front of the train station.The owner is the kindest owner I've ever met. I stayed there cause I had a job interview, and she was so nice explainimg to me how to get there and she wished my good luck and asked me the next morning if the job was mine. Really nice. The rooms were clean and with enough space. The rule of no noise from 11.30pm is just perfect! I'll definetely come back!

Very good hostel, Tracy was really helpful the whole time. Just one little complaint, showers were not that good. Apart from from that, really pleasant stay.

The woman in charge of the hostel is very nice and makes you feel welcomed right away. the atmosphere is nice and its simple to come in and out on your own adventures.

The hostle is run by Tracy who is incredibly nice and incredibly fair in terms of prices. The rooms and bathrooms are clear but not immaculate.

The staff were fantastic. We arrived late but they were really nice about it and gave really helpful advice about what to do while in Cork and booked us into a tour which we really enjoyed. The rooms were good, quite comfortable beds in the dorm and the shared bathroom was clean. Located just across the road from the train station which was handy but busses are the main public transport option.

Nice and friendly place. In fact it was very quiet the night I was their..I checked in before 8pm then I went off into town and didnt get home till about 1.30am and I was able to sit for a half hour flicking around the television stations (just like I'd do at hom :).. Lady of the house was very friendly...Its a big georgian house....It has a bit of that cold feeling to it because its an old house but I was by no means cold at any time...overall...good.

The first thing I noticed about this hostel was that, compared to other hostels, it wasn't simply clean, it was downright sterile. At least in the beathrooms because the dorms still had a very very cozy atmosphere. The woman who owns the hostel is wonderful. She is funny, warmhearted, talkative and helpful and when I needed a day of rest after having a long party night in Cork, she was so kind not to put any guests into the big dorm, just so I wouldn't be disturbed. Very recommended!

Location not the best, but that seemed to be true of many hostels in cork. Friendliest staff we encountered all trip!

Tracy is the friendliest hostel owner ever and made me feel right at home. She'll take great care of you! Hers is a cozy guest house with a comfy little common area and fully equipped kitchen, all in a convenient location right across from the train station. My room was quite cold at night, but I can't complain too much- Tracy was nice enough to put me in my own room just because she had an empty one! A lovely place to stay.

It was a really cold inside :(

The hostel doesn´t look like a hostel, more like an apartment. The lady who runs it is very nice and friendly and gave us a lot of tips! She even let us in although we were way too late for the check in. The atmosphere is cozy and I really liked it there. The location isn´t the best, although you can walk everywhere. It´s just a bit annoying when you go out and have to walk for a while. But still it was an ok location!
