The staff at Paddy's hostel is horrible, I was this past weekend with a friend and at night the hostel was closed and would not open the door, so we slept in the street. I've never seen a hostel close at night, is the first time I see something, if you go to this hostel, to assure they don't close the door at night. The staff leaves much to be desired, the guy is disagreeable, no hot water in the showers, if you can find another hostel, there are better hostels in Killarney.

Very outdated and badly decorated hostel. There was a hole in the ceiling of our room. Also the walls were unpainted which made the room very cold. Heating didn't work in the room and the duvet cover was dirty. We were beside the common room which was really noisy

Paddy's palace was great. It's a minute from the city center (or rather it is IN the center) and it offers one of the coziest feelings I've ever experienced in a hostel.

The staff was so friendly and helpful, other guests were very nice also. There was only 1 shower for 12 people because the other one was broken, so that was not great. I had so much fun here and the town is amazing. It was the perfect location. My only negative comment is that there was a 49 year old man who had been staying there longterm and he moved into the 12 person room while recovering from an illness. He caughed all night and seemed to have been using drugs.

Very dirty place. They didn't clean our bedroom after leaving it the previous guests -the shower was full of hairs and there were papers on the fitted carpet under the bed. The pipes make an awful noise when the guests in the other room opened the tap water.

We had an en suite room and the drain was clogged and there was a lot of hair in the drain upon arrival. Also we had a couple of issues with the keys in really old locks but it ended up working out okay. It ended up being a really good deal, however, with the buiy one get one free nights.
