Sheilas Cork Hostel Reviews

The staff were very helpful and friendly - my admiration for that!

according to hostelworld.com breakfast and parking should be included. as we arrived at the hostel, we were informed that breakfast is 3,00 euro and that we have to buy discs for our car. these discs are needed from mon-sat. 8:30 -18:30. and for 2 hours its 2 euro :(

We had a great time staying in Sheilas. The staff were so friendly from the moment we arrived and although we had to tackle ALL the stairs, the views from the rooms at the top are worth it. The hill up to the hostel wasn't half as bad as I had anticipated either. The only real downfall of the hostel is that there is only wireless Internet access on the ground floor. This was a real disappointment but all in all it was great value for money and I would return again!

If you wanna have snails and spiders in your bedroom, go to Sheilas Hostel! I would never go there again, because after this staying I got sick. The breakfast was okay, but definitely nothing special.

We liked the cleanliness and the character of the hostel. It was very comfortable and nice, but it was a bit cold in the room. What we didn't like it that it says on the webpage that there is parking, but you actually have to pay for the parking in front of the hostel (2 EUR/hour).

room were very small but clean.

Great hostel! Its located near the center of Cork, just a short walk from the train station and bus station. The staff was really helpful, the rooms were clean and new, and while the showers on our floor had an odd smell, the ones just below ours were fine. the cinema room was great! Though I wish the sauna had been working too... The hostel has some nice deals with local pubs so you can get discounts for staying there and its in a nice area so i never felt unsafe at night! Definitely recommend!

The 4 person room is exceedingly small and uncomfortable for four ppl with luggage or backpacks. The bathrooms are also small, and mixed gender showers, which I'm ok with but others might not be. The hostel itself is a bit run down and while I was there, a group of about 10 or so ppl were running up and down the halls yelling/knocking on doors between midnight and two am. It's clean though and has paid internet.

Nice, but hard to sleep due to all the action at night.

l'accueil est très sympa le personnel est disponible, je recommande a tous ceux qui passeraient par Cork de s'y arreter.Très proche de la gare et d'un prix trés accessible .Merci a toute l'équipe du Sheila's.

The heating was only working for a few hours, given the bad weather it was very cold. It was not very clean.

Location is decent, close to the bus station but up a ridiculous hill on an almost back-alley street, 10-15 minutes from centre. Rooms dirty--very visible mold in the bathroom and super dusty under beds and some questionable stains. Beds seriously uncomfortable. No light breakfast provided free and for the price they definitely should. The sauna was broken. The staff was very helpful, however. Nice common areas.

Staff were really great, very friendly. Good location, only you have to walk up a big hill to get there, not too bad though, still really close to train and bus station. Staff were really helpful with where to go in the city. Really good hostel, kitchen was great too.

Had a great time, appreciated how well the hostel was run. Thanks

The man who checked us in was excellent and accommodating for us, I cannot remember his name unfortunately but he made us feel welcomed and safe. He gave us a great recommendation for our first night out and helped us work out a situation with a fellow friend who arrived a few days later wanted to be in our room. Had a lovely time and would happily stay again!

Basic Hostel. Basic dormitories Nice staff Nice location

Frank and Kate at the front desk were awesome!

Gross all around. The rooms were small and the beds were cramped. Not worth the money for the stay. Go to Bru Bar and Hostel instead!

I usually don't like to stay at hostels, but Sheila's was wonderful and I would stay there again. The staff is so friendly and helpful and I met some nice people there. Would definitely recommend this hostel.

Good welcome but very noisy, cold water in showers
