A little hard to find, but this meant off street parking & a quieter location. I stayed in a single room, which had bunk bed & ensuite. It was clean & comfortable. Good facilities & friendly, helpful staff.

A fine hostel with clean sheets and bathrooms and showers. Staff were nice. Kitchen was a bit basic, and there are no ovens. The free breakfast is terrible, but to be honest for €10 a night it is definitively worth it!

The room was very damp and moldy so I was coughing a lot while a guest there. Difficult because it is an old building and it was a very rainy several days.

The showers could be a little cleaner, and the room for 6 people was a bit small. But we stayed one night, so it was no problem. The staff was very freindly and helpful! We will come again, if we are in Killarney!

Very nice atmosphere. It would be good to have more plates and spoons for the breakfast, but also more bred and marmelade at disposal... without having to ask every five minutes for refill. the curtain in the shower could be changed too.
