“ After we tried about three Hostels before in Cork, Kinlay House was by far the best of the accommodations. The staff was very friendly and the rooms provided a lot of space and a warm atmosphere. The hostel was also very clean and tidy and in addition there was a free light breakfast. Thank you... ”

“ Our door to the room was sort of finicky and would not close all the way unless strongly forced. That meant that roommates who didn't pay much attention were leaving the door open when they left, jeopardizing our security. ”

“ It was absolutely freezing (about +12) in our 'Deluxe room'. The heater was only slightly warm at the evening and was turned off for the night. The window was poorly insulated and you could feel the cold air coming through the gaps. So we would recommend this place for polar bears only! ”

“ Don't bother looking for the landmark fish at night because you won't find it. Once you get to the hostel, though, it's alright. ”

“ Great place if all you need is a bed. Layout is not very conducive to meeting people. Breakfast is severely lacking. Very expensive laundry and towel rental. Promised a free shuttle to Blarney but had to really hassle them to get even a one-way trip. Less than impressed overall. ”

“ Loved the location, right next to a church where you can play your own tune on the bells! Hostel was clean but my shower in my en-suite on top floor was ice cold, had to run naked to showers on 2nd floor where was warm thankfully. Good choice for Cork! Pls remember kitchen closes at 930am-not so... ”

“ Bathrooms on the 2nd floor could have been a little cleaner and the water in the showers was warm at best, never hot. Internet is rather pricey; 1 euro for 15 minutes is a clear steal!!! Overall a good hostel though, nice spacious rooms. ”

“ Nice place to stay, but staff was poor on knowing good places for eating and things to go do. Saved money with the tea/coffee/toast for breakfast which was really nice. An ok place to stay, would probably want to stay somewhere else next time. ”
