It was very cold in the room but the heather was not running and there was not any additional blanket. The breakfast was very poor and you has to pick, wash and place everything you use, even during the breakfast.

Great feeling to this lovely little hostel. Amazing location and very helpful staff, kitchen and communal areas are great. Dorm rooms nice and cosy with little nooks and good windows, only down side was no locker storage in rooms for bags etc but felt very comfortable here so not a big issue

We had a good time in Killarney and appreciated all the staff did to help us find our way, make recommendations and book our trips and tours. Our room was nice and we found the bathrooms and showers to be plentiful and decent (i.e. warm water and decent sized). The kitchen facility was decent but could have used an oven - however, the member of staff who checked us in made sure to inform us of this right away. Beds were comfortable and we felt safe.

The staff would need the assistance of security personnel to maintain an atmosphere which is pleasant for all guests. I understand the local Garda had to be called to the hostel early morning on the 7th to remove a particularly disruptive guest ! The nights were very disturbed. The breakfast was an apology for the same - better not to have been offered it ! The wifi was not available in the room.

The hostel was very nice and comfortable. There was parking provided. The breakfast was ok and also the kitchen was nice. It was a bit cold in the room at night. Otherwise the atmosphere was very nice.

Si la responsabilité du personnel n'est pas forcément en cause, nos vêtements sentent encore l'odeur de tabac qui empestait la chambre !!! Les affiches "interdiction de fumer" étaient bien affichées et la chambre aérée.

Great location near station, short walk to city centre. Nice staff. Huge beds for a hostel and so solid you don't feel the person above/below. Also large showers. Light breakfast included but definitely don't wait til the end. Kind of an odd mix of people, a lot of older guests.

Nice hostel, felt cosy with the wooden furniture. Loved the names for each room! Bathroom wasn't that great, and breakfast was only toast and cereal. Great location just a few minutes' walk from the train station.

Nice hostel, cute names for the rooms. It would be nice if breakfast included yogurt or fruit- it was only toast. The bunks are very low- can't sit up on the bottom with hitting head on top. Bathrooms were coed, which wasn't great.

Lovely decor and atmosphere, loved the stay. On minus - smallish rooms and not the cleanest showers - flip-flops - a must!

Very quaint atmosphere, full of character. Helpful and friendly staff. Kitchen and common areas were adequate, but nothing special. Price was good. Showers were terrible though (no temperature control, just a button that you have to keep pressing every 7 seconds, that went slowly from unbearably cold to unbearably hot).

Adorable kitchen and eating area, although a few more areas for food storage might be nice. Security sucks, theres no where to lock up your stuff in the room and you have to use their front lockers. We had things stolen out of our LOCKED backpack.
