Stayed for 1 night last weekend, super friendly kiwi owner checked us in. Gave us tickets to an event at the Beamish Brewery. Room was fine, clean, tidy.

Stayed on the top floor on the Friday of the May bank Holiday weekend, The hostel, for that night atleast was fully booked up. Firsty with regards to the wifi, it in no way is available in the rooms, and just barely available in the bar area. The bar itself though is absolutely top notch and serves to provide a... More

Stayed in a Private room with my partner.

Stayed with 14 friends on a a 2 night break. Bar staff very friendly and nothing was an issue. Rooms were clean and we had en-suite. Can be noisy but that was fine by us and everyone said good value for money

The hostel also provided a big kitchen that everyone could use (including fridge, ovens, cookers, etc...) and breakfast was... More

The Bru Bar Hostel is located really close to the train station, and was easy to find upon our arrival to Cork. I stayed here with two friends for 2 nights. The rooms are quaint but clean, but what really makes this hostel awesome are the great people you find there! All the employees were really friendly, funny, and informative.... More

Me and a small group of friends stayed here for two nights. There wasn't much to complain about really, the staff were helpful and we were able to leave our bags there after we checked out. The rooms themselves were quite small but for a hostel it was grand. It was also very close to the city centre and the... More
