Great location, a short walk from rail station and to City Centre. Street where it is located has lots of cafes and restaurants. I liked the pub downstairs - nice warm friendly atmosphere. Women’s dorm room was clean and plenty of room. Breakfast was advertised as light breakfast. It was that - enough to get you going. TV Room / Kitchen area comfortable for working in - remotely on computer. Lots of stairs to my room - that was a bit challenging. Friendly accommodating staff.

Really cool that this hostel also has a bar and it’s only minutes from the Cork train station! The staff were all very friendly and gave great advice. My only complaint is the beds weren’t as comfortable sleeping in as other hostels frequented at other Irish hostels experienced.
