One toilet and one shower gor a 12 bed dorm is challenging in the morning especially when it is in obe room. But for 8 € a night its ok.

One of the best atmospheres of the hostels I've been in... everyone was really friendly and helpful and the common room/kitchen area was always full of people chatting. Staff was extremely helpful and the rooms were spacious and clean!

The location is absolutely prime: right by the entrance to the National Park, a right in town, and about a 5 minute walk to the train station. Very helpful and accommodating with a great price. I would absolutely recommend people looking into this place if they are looking for great access, advice, and value for their money

We were just in Killarney for the night after driving the ring of Kerry and needed a place to stay. This place was a little quirkier than hostels I've stayed at in the past, but very clean and great for what we needed.

Paddys Place was a great experience! The location is central and easy to find, the rooms and hostel were clean, breakfast was included and a great way to start the day, the price was great, and the hostel staff were very helpful! Louise was very accommodating with bag storage and checkout, and as part of a promotion I was able to stay a 3rd night free! Highly recommend - thank you very much!

We were 6 in the same room and everything was perfect. The private shower worked perfectly as well and it was clean.

I stayed the night before a charity hike and the staff went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. The price was very reasonable and the place was easy find I would recommend Paddys Palace in Killarney and would stay there again.

I enjoyed my stay here at Paddy's place. It was a great value for the money. I stayed in the 11 Euro room, which has six bunks and an en-suite. The hostel was pretty no frills, but nice all the same. Lulu was wonderful, she was so sweet. It was like staying at a friends house (You know, if your friend runs a hostel). She is really understanding and helpful. A real gem. I would defiantly come back.

Only one toilet/shower for 12 person dorm room - not good enough!! Night porter is supposed to be on duty until 4am, but I couldn't get in at 2.15am. One of my friends had to open to door to let me in. Little dissappointed with that.

There is not enough place to sit and eat as the guests are using the space to use their computers as well. Some of the staff was very loud and annoying.

The staff at Paddys Palace Killarney make this hostel the great place it is! Louise is an absolute gem, so helpful and she will do everything she can to help you out. The showers are amazing as well. Only thing is, for those of you in a 10 bed dorm (not sure what its like in the other rooms) there are no lockers! Thats the only complaint i have though, will definitely return!!!

Nice, small hostel - directly in the heart of Killarney. Very friendly staff! For 9 Euro we stayed in a room with 10 beds and 2 bathrooms. Breakfast was included, so very fair price!

The Hostel was incredible! I had a fantastic stay and Louise did everything in her ability to make it that much better. Definitely take advantage of the free tour, it was great! Killarney is such a fun town even in the off season.

We really enjoyed our stay at Paddy's Palace. We had booked a twin room as that was the only option on the booking form but we were given a double when we got there as it was available. We found out that as we stayed two nights we were entitiled to a free tour of the Ring of Kerry aboard the Paddy Wagon! Something to bear in mind the next time we visit.
