“ The hostel is bare minimum. They give you clean sheets and a shower and that's about it. No towels, you have to pay for internet, and no tv's. The staff was very friendly and accomodating and the price is great. But the hostel itself is kinda far away from town. With the shower, you have to push... more ”

“ If you are a loud mouth moron who delights in yelling in corridors at 3am morning, or wonder what's it like to be in prison, stay here and enjoy sleepless nights, wafer thin pillows and push button showers (10 sec of water per push)! If this is all you can afford, stay home and save money for... more ”

“ Word to the wise, look at the room before you give any money. If you change your mind about staying, you are out of luck. Less than 15 minutes elapsed between paying and going to the room and realizing it wasn't adequate. Went back to the front desk and were denied any renumeration. Very... ”

“ I recommend staying in this hostel. It is clean and has good facilities. The shower is a little annoying as you have to press the button every minute or so to keep the water running and there is no rack to leave the soap. the main down side to this place however is the staff. The staff are very... more ”

“ I have visited this hostel a couple of time whilst working in Cork, it's relatively clean but it has very little in the way of personality or character. There are also no lockers. Some staff are very nice but the others aren't very helpful at all. ”

“ We loved this hostel and the staff especially! Everyone was very helpful, providing us with a hair dryer and a lot of craic! The hostel was about a half hour walk from the city, but it is a good location because it is quiet and the hostel is huge! We would reccommend this hostel to anyone!... ”

“ The only things that really bothered me was the shower. It took such a long time to get hot water and that there are no signs of how to get to the hostel at all. Just a small sign outside that is easy to miss especially when you're not from there. You are busy enough to pay attention to the road... ”

“ What a charming hostel! Spacious and clean. Helpful staff. A bit of a bus ride but still walkable from the city center if you miss the last bus of the evening. Good bargain for the price.

“ The hostel is very well kept and the staff was friendly/helpful. It was across from Cork University, but a little ways from town (35-45min walk from the coach station). I consider this 'walking distance' but for those who don't, there is a bus. I highly recommend this hostel! ”
