My boyfriend and I stayed in a double bed private room for one night. The room was very spacious and the staff were friendly. The room was spotless although the shower was very small but nice and hot. The hostel is short walking distance from heaps of pubs and restaurants. There was free wi-fi, although it didnt reach our room... More

Good little hostel right near the bus station. Really good HOT showers which is always nice, although they are those push ones that only last 10seconds or so. Good kitchen and good free breakfast (cereal, toast etc) The only negative is the lck of storage in the room. With 9 people in a dorm and 9 bags it a bit... More

I would agree with Gerry S on what he said.I along with a group of friends came in while they were arguing about a deposit.To say this woman was ignorant is an understatement.She referred to us as troublemakers.She said that there were decent people staying there trying to put accross the fact we wernt decent people.We didnt cause any trouble.Im...

Location is grand,price is ok but the Staff are woeful,arrogant & ignorant as they come. Very heavy set strong woman with black hair at reception with a face on her like a wet November Monday morning would want to brush up on her social skills doing nothing but throwing dirty looks & barking out order's & warning's even though we...

Stayed here November of last year. A tiny walk from the town on a slight hill- but the hill may be diffucult climbing in heels!! On the night I stayed there the Guards were called for an incident was a bit scary but was dealt with quicky. The rooms have cute names in relation to animals. The receptionist was helpful... More

A really helpful, welcoming and friendly place to stay. The staff are really helpful and give you ideas on what to see and do. They can’t really do enough. The service was far better than you would receive in a hotel. The hostel is basic and in no way upmarket or posh but offers a comfortable, clean and reasonably priced... More

staff could do with brushing up on their social skills - the entire time we were there, we didn't even get eye contact from any of them, let alone a smile. VERY noisey at night, which i'm afraid to say, was the fault of the staff as most of the noise was due to the excessively loud t.v - which... More

I got there with a friend for a weekend before doing the Kerry way. We got there on thursday. It's in the city center so it's really easy to get to all the interesting things there. Rooms were clean and comfy. Maybe having a closet or even an extra table could make our life easier, but it wasn't really necessary.... More
