I stayed here for one night before heading to Ring of Kerry. The only good thing was good location - near railway station. Everything else was hostel, even in hostel range. Hostel is in really bad condition, persons inside creapy, and when I was there there was a huge amount of partying young people shouting and slamming doors upstairs. Hostel... More

This is a great hostel to stay at! The rooms are clean, the showers are hot, and the staff was very friendly. One of the receptionists on duty went the extra mile by helping me contact hostels in Dingle as I looked for accommodations. The location is a two second walk from downtown.

The hostel is well located, alright for a hostel but the real problem was the staff. The owner and her bulldog receptionist would not let any of our group enter the hostel until they got all their money. Was told any changes in numbers would be fine but on the day they threatened to take the fine from my card... More

From the moment I arrived I felt nothing but welcomed by the staff. Especially the fella (don't know his name) he gave me great advice on things he considered worth doing or not doing, arranged a tour for me and promised not to book any smelly blokes into my shared dorm room haha. Over all I would strongly recommend this... More

+ The Hostel has a Perfect Location for backpacker with a heavy backpack to get rid of. The dorm was nice and the facilities okay relatively clean. - The reception staff was at times really unhelpful and the keycards did not work properly.

This place had everything and more that you would want for 17 euros. The staff, the breakfast, the beds were all disproportionately good compared to the cheap price. I particularly liked the staff's attitude and the buffet breakfast, even if it wasn't exactly chardonnay and newly fried eggs.

This hostel is right across the street from the Killarney bus station, a block from a grocery store and a 2 min. walk to the train station. It is also at the prime location to visit all of Killarney (the lively town and fantastic pubs with traditional Irish music each night and close to the Killarney National Park. The whole... More

It absolutely ruined our holiday and if we had not arrived so late i would have checked into any other hotel, b&b, hostel etc. the room was empty with a half roll of toilet paper, no hand towel or even soap. although the bath towels came with the room,...
