Bru Bar & Hostel Reviews

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The keys are difficult. Great hostel though.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Great location and the staff were very helpful

Very nice hostel, perfectly combined with the pub downstairs.

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

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.

Nice, secure place to get a bed.

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!

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

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.
