Bru Bar & Hostel Reviews

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.

Great location, friendly staff, had a small mold problem in the third floor bathroom.

Very nice hostel, perfectly combined with the pub downstairs.

Nice, secure place to get a bed.

If you are a nightlife person, this is a fantastic place, the bar was cool! If you're not, just like me, I still very enjoyed my stay here, staff were very nice. If your drop off point is at St' Patrick's Quay, that will be just a few steps away.

Good hostel with great facilities for cooking and a bar at the ground floor, really nice! The only negative point would be the cleanliness which is not really great, especially in the drawers under the beds and in the radiators...

Great owners, great bar

We loved Bru Bar. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. They were helpful right from the start with directions, restaurant suggestions, and even when I lost my phone. The room accommodations were find for what we needed, and we loved the live music in the bar.

Good atmosphere, not the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in.

Great hostel at a great location. The four bed dorm we were in was a bit tiny and stuffy for 4 ppl, but it was reasonably priced and the atmosphere was good. Cool bar downstairs and a really fun place to stay!

Great hostel, and would recommend particularly to solo travellers as I found that that was what it mainly consisted of. This made it easy to meet new people and additionally the bar staff were amazing and friendly and got some greta tourist advice. Rooms were good size, but would have liked for the bathrooms to be cleaned daily. all in all a great place and would definitely stay again if I jhad to go to Cork.

Very helpful and friendly staff that gave some fantastic recommendations and directions to aid our exploration of Cork.

Great! I will come again

the bru bar& hostel is probably the best hostel i have ever been to. everything is clean, staff is absolutely amazing and very welcoming, bathroom&toilette was really clean. if the room would have been completely booked it might have been a little too tight but becide that everything was absolutely perfect.

good job! With my next visit in Cork i know where i will stay over for the night and also will recommend the place to any of my friends interested in going to Cork.

Some problem with a girl of the staff and a big misunderstending about booed days, but generally a good place to stay a short period.
