Summary of traveller reviews

Sheilas Cork Hostel in Ireland offers a fantastic location, praised for its proximity to the city centre. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and helpful staff. While rooms can be compact, many appreciate the comfortable beds and privacy curtains. Some recent feedback notes that showers can be temperamental and rooms may lack ventilation, but overall it's a good base for exploring Cork.

Location of the hostel was great ! Unfortunately, this was one of the dirtiest hostel I’ve ever stayed at : bathrooms/showers were a nightmare. We found many objects from other travellers under the beds… The dorms themselves were really small, so be prepared to get along with the others and don’t bring big luggage. Little to no natural light in mine. It’s really outdated.. it’s a shame really because there’s so much potential for this hostel to be amazing..

My door was broken and the showers and toilets were not clean. Not enough room in the bedrooms, I was not able to open my locker because the over bed was too close

Overall good. - Rooms were pretty small but they weren’t bad. - Kitchen, common areas, and female only bathrooms good also - Close to the city centre, there’s a big hill you need to walk up to get to the hostel but it’s not that bad
