all the staff were friendly, the rooms we got was a private room with our own bathroom! was good space, comfy beds, shower was warm and easy to use, heat worked in room and had windows for light and to cool down. to enter the hostel a key was required and the desk was open 24/7 so if you do come between certain hours a slip of paper was required which allowed me the comfot to feel secure. they provided hangers, one hand towel (we were able to use for showers). within the hostel they had outdoor areas, snacks, toiletries, towels 1 and addition 5 euro deposit, laundry 10 euro, sitting areas, sauna 3 euro for 20 mins, breakfast 8am - 10am 4 euro pp, locker 1 euro a day and provided parking. parking disc required 8:30am - 6:30 pm, was free over night. discs were 1.50 each and last 2 hours each. they hostel was located at the top of the hill, close to the train and city centre! would definitely recommend this as a smart travel selection, good value for good quality!

- 7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 702 reviewsThe location was excellent! The property is right in the middle of the downtown Cork area, and comfortably near the old town district. The location of the hostel over the pub made afternoons and evenings really comfortable--you can hang out in the pub at any time! The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and the single-gender accommodations made me feel safe and secure.
HannahSolo traveller - 7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 702 reviewsAs soon as we arrived, everything was as it should be. Friendly staff, great location. Support already answered all my questions beforehand, as we had to make a few changes to the reservation. The breakfast was worth the price. The bar of the hostel itself should be praised the most. Every evening something happened, we met new people. We will be back!!UrskaGroup
- 7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 702 reviewsThe hostel was at the amazing location, close to the bust stop while arriving from Dublin, even close to Cork train station. The bar in the ground floor was excellent & so was the complementary breakfast offered to the guests - welcome addition in a hostel. The hostel is in the midst of a busy & happening street full of traditional pubs & restaurants of the city of Cork, very safe ambience. Nice bed, would have liked a curtain in addition. Shall come back again.
AvinandanSolo traveller - Avg. price/night: € 102.907.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 4,197 reviewsGreat location and the staff were really friendly. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm and slept pretty well as the bed/duvet/pillow were surprisingly comfortable 😁 didn't have a chance to use any of the facilities as I literally only slept there and left first thing, but the bathroom and bedrooms were very clean and it's a beautiful building. Would definitely stay again to get the full hostel experience

The other guests staying there had a great vibe too, felt very safe.MichaelSolo traveller
- 7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 702 reviewsTwin room- bunk beds with private shower/toilet. Clean and tidy, perfect for what we needed. First time in a hostel would definitely hostel again. Nice bar, good location for bars, restaurants, bus etc. Our room on the front 2nd floor was remarkably quiet.SarahYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: € 1206.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 3,893 reviewsGreat location. Helpful staff. Very comfortable beds. Unfortunately the sink was blocked and the carpet was stained which does make a difference to the experience. But I will stay there again. Bus outside the door. Minutes from Patrick street and while 110 euro is an insane amount to spend for one night unfortunately it's among corks cheapest. It's decor is unnecessarily studenty. Students can't afford that and non students aren't mad about popart decals.SuzanneYoung couple
