Sheilas Cork Hostel Reviews

Great facilities very clean. Staff were great

Sheila's was a good hostel to stay at, Rooms were quite big and warm and the bathrooms were decent size. Only downfall was the location - up a gigantic hill and the stairs were a nightmare with a lot of luggage.

The nicest staff I have ever met

It was a very nice hostel in a super location that trained our stamina ;) We enjoyed staying there as the staff members were super nice and helped us in every way (especially by helping us to not starve any longer ;)). Thanks for a lovely stay in Cork, all the best for you guys!!!

Nice place. Big and close to the train station (although I got lost trying to find it at night, but that was probably my own fault). When I wanted to charge my phone so I could set the alarm, they couldn't find me an adapter cord. Instead, the person on duty arranged with the night porter to give me a wake-up call at 6:30, which he did very cheerfully. They can also tell you where to eat, have a drink or find some music.

No window in bedroom. Room was tiny, barely enough room to stand between two bunks. Ash from cigarettes in sink. Mattresses are a cheap foam material, which causes the person to overheat and sweat.

Great, friendly, relaxed atmosphere! Well set up even though the room was a little on the cramped side. You can't have everything though.....I'll definitely stay here again!!

The room was so cold! Another heater needed definitely

Generally thanks for allowing me to stay with you two nights. Just to point out four things that were not ok; a) Sheilas should own car parking for visitors b) The rooms should be cleaned daily even when the visitor is in c) The rooms need small table and chair d) Warming system in the room was bad and so I felt so cold That is all Charles

Sheilas Hostel was really wonderful. The security was top notch and the beds were pretty comfy as well. The hostel floors in the rooms were a little sticky and the bathroom was out of toilet paper while we stayed there. The wifi are was very nice and there were good games and comfortable couches. I would definitely recommend this hostel for young adults traveling to Cork.

Bit dingy and rooms are tiny,but the staff were really nice.

Nice place and friendly staff. There was no locker in the room though, so I had to rent out a storage locker downstairs to keep my valuables in when I was going out.

Very nice staff and clean rooms

The hostel was in a great spot and we had a fantasic view over the town as we had a room at the front of the building. However the kitchen was a bit dodgy and the toilets and showers were not clean (if you were lucky enough to find them as the place is a maze).

The bathroom was very dirt.

I stay at Sheila's a few times, for a large hostel it is amazing how well the place operates, the staff are just more than helpful, the just seem to understand travelers problems & the explanation to what must be endless travelers problems, But the staff at Sheila:s find answers & directions for all, I will note, Travelers need to show understanding & politeness to what must be a difficult & demanding Job, Thanks to Paddy & staff...

The building could do with a lick of paint but apart from that it was a mediocre stay - If you're just looking for a bed then it's perfect :)

A couple things I didn't like, first the shower water never got above lukewarm, and because I waited so long hoping it would heat up before stepping into it, the automatic timer on the bathroom lights switched itself off while I was still showering. Also there was no heat in the room when I woke up (between 6-7) although the radiator was on. Very nice staff though.

Very nice Hostel and the staff is very nice and friendly

Very small but very clean room. Extremly friedly staff!! Closed to town and bus station. Good hostel!!
