Bru Bar & Hostel Reviews

very good location, close to the city centre we had room for 3, which was quite small, but it was sufficient for our stay the room was heated, which i really appreciated everything clean

Really nice place, I recomended it of everyone! The people who dealed with me was very frendly and they helped me with all I needed. Thank you very much !

great location, bar downstairs has decent selection of beer< for example irish craft brewer white gypsy on cask when i was there, plus deals on pizza

Great place and staff. Good value.

The walls in our room were covered with hand marks and mysterious fluids. The staff were friendly but it is awkward how you have to go through the crowded bar in the first place. Bits of the wall were all broken and the place was in a super sketchy area.

I thought it was a great hostel to stay at. There is not one thing wrong with the hotel or the staff . I will definitely recommend staying there .

very friendly and relaxed hostel

I think it should be marked a bit better for people coming to stay who have never been in Cork before. My friend and I ended up going into the hostel next door, thinking it was ours. Haha. The only other thing I would have LOVED would be a lift. My friend and I ended up being on the third floor, lugging a heavy suitcase up and down the stairs was a bit of a pain. Overall though, I was very pleased with everything at this hostel. I really enjoyed the live entertainment every night.

Staff very helpful and supportive. Facilities basic but clean, very well supervised. Music location and pub were excellent. I've never stayed in a hostel before, stayed there because I was traveling with my two sons, both early 20's. We all loved the place, the staff were great, the facilities basic, as expected, but very clean and secure.

Generally a great hostel, would be happy to stay there again. Only a few minutes walk to where all the main pubs and clubs are. Key cards took swiping quite a few times before working though. The bar downstairs is fun and convenient, and the staff were happy to help out.

We lost a book and contacted you but until now you did not answer.

Better windows; old, woodens ingle glazing onto a buzy road leads to noise

The keys are difficult. Great hostel though.

This was a fun hostel to stay at because of the bar. Fair warning though, you can hear the live music from the bar in your room, but we actually enjoyed that. The reception was great, they were very friendly and helpful. It was a teeny tiny room, but it was very clean and somewhat cozy. We had a private bathroom which was quite nice. The kitchen area was well kept as well. Great location, just a few minutes' walk to the train and bus station, as well as the main area of town.

Not a fan of bars being the main focus of the hostel but it was cheap close to the bus station. It was surprisingly quiet upstairs away from the bar thought so kudos to them! Kitchen and common room was nice and big and modern though :) Free breakfast was good too.

Great hostel. Good price, good staff, good social atmosphere, good showers, most rooms bed 4 people, great location, above a nice youthful bar but never too loud, good security.

Overall it was a good hostel. It is right in the center of Cork, so everything is very conveniently located. The rooms were clean and the staff accommodating. There is a pool table so it is a nice way to meet people. I would definitely recommend it.

Rooms were very clean! The staff was extra friendly. The only downside was that there was no safe place for valuables.

Short walk from the train station and received by the reception in a friendly manner. Rooms very clean and the metal storage space under the beds is ingenious (just wait and see how easy it is to keep the room clean!). Had no problems with noise and the breakfast was sufficient as toast, cereal, tea/coffee goes - tip is to get down to brekkie early however as there isn't a lot of seating space. Top place; would recommend and stay again.

Staff were all very friendly and suggested great restaurants to eat, and great pubs to see.
