I was only there for one nigh but I had a great time in Killarney. The staff were super helpful, suggesting things to do and how to do them. They have a good luggage storage room, the bedrooms themselves are nice and clean.

very disappointing stay in this hostel, the bedroom was not very cleaned and the bathroom was very very smelly! A lot of noise during night time, so I would not advise this hostel for people who like to visit while travelling around.

This place was a little sketchy. The location was good, being a 10 minute walk from the national park, and the staff was helpful. But the kitchen was dirty, the bedroom walls were thin, and there was no hot water for showers in the morning. Our room was located next to a noisy bar, so it was...

Centrally located - very clean. Helpful and friendly staff. A big hostel, but still clean and cosy. A cheap, simple breakfast is available. Location is really great - I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice and helpful staff! However, carpets were a bit dirty and, because of the bad ventilation in bathroom, air in the room was very humid, there was even some mildew on the ceiling. Anyway, location is excellent, and I can't complain about the people. .
