This hostel is a very old building and can be feel very cold in the winter time. I think that's because the windows are not double glazed. It's a little bit of walk to the centre of Cork, but it wouldn't be too bad in the warmer weather. I think the kitchen could be a little bigger and then it would be great. Overall a nice enough place to stay.

Needs lockers in the rooms or something secure for valuable items within the rooms. Feels like it needs a better vibe, i felt it wasnt very welcoming. Met lovely people in our rooms though. Shower is clean and bathroom and beds are clean too.

Acceptable bang for your buck, but nothing to write home about.

Clean and secure like youth hostels all around the world. Character and Staff fine as well. Night entrance exists, but you have to check-in during office times, otherwise no access. Beautiful old house. A lot of beautiful natural scenery around the river nearby.

From the moment of my arrival, I was made very welcome, A friendly atmosphere setting, a real home from home. For the price it would be a good idea to provide tea and toast included.

Everything was really good. In fact they put us 4 in six bedroom together even if we should be 3 in 8 bedroom, 1 in 6 bedroom, for the same price that we reserved!
