Cork International Youth Hostel (An Oige) Reviews

The driving directions to get here are AWFUL - took us awhile to find it. The hostel itself is great though. Large rooms, large bathroom, ensuite rooms with the sink outside where the shower is (so some can be doing hair/makeup/brushing teeth while others are showering) - I always appreciate that. The beds are very comfortable and the blankets nice and warm. Recommended.

Pleasent stay, the bathroom needed some cleaning though, and the smell of deep fried food was quite overpowering on the ground floor. The location was a bit far outside of the city centre, and quite poorly signed.

Good enough place to stay-- doesn't have the character of the smaller hostels, but it meets your needs. Our toilet didn't like to flush. Be prepared to have to hunt for outlets-- for the first two days we didn't think there was a single one in our 4 bed room, we did eventually find ONE, but that's not much these days for four people and their gadgets.

Our stay in the hostel only was about sleeping and breakfast. The breakfast every day was excellent. Sleeping was average. So the whole stay in the hostel was good.

Very nice place, basic, good value for money and close to cork city centre

Compared with other hostels is this one to less value for your money. Almost everywhere is breakfast and wifi included. In this hostel you need to pay for both.

Everything perfect!!!! Kitchen supplies may be a little short, but it is something that is not important at all

Awful place, awful people. The worst ever.

Good service! We we're very happy with the free parking space at the back of the hostel. The shower buttons were the only only minor feature as they tended to release rather quickly, which meant you had to press it in constantly. This is however, very common at hostels, so it isn't critique really.

The Kitchen could really use some more utensils and knives. Other than that its inexpensive, and you get what you pay for. The staff was also quite helpful; however, they seemed a bit bummed to be there.

I very much enjoyed my stay and found the staff friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Generally this is a good hostel, but two improvements would make it much better. First it needs free Wi Fi which most hostels now offer. Second it should offer a free breakfast, also usually available at most hostels.
