Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (6/5): - We didn't realize there would be 0 towels in the room with getting one for 2 Euro each. Also, parking lot was way too small.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - La réception est très accueillante. L'espace cuisine est très bien et très convivial. La chambre était cependant sale, nous avons dû nettoyer à la javelle la salle de bain.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - They make an appreciated effort to help with parking and the lady at the front desk was very kind. On the minus side the room lacks power outlets, the shower lacks shelves or anything you can use to put your shampoo on, and other guests in the room were loud and inconsiderate.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - super Personal bequeme betten weniger gut es giebt keine Möglichkeit jacken, Badetücher ect aufzuhängen. sehr ringhörich, Party am Wochenende nerven. super Parkplatz möglichkeit
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, take a taxi to Killarney National Park and see the wonderful views. They have friendly staff and a great looking kitchen and lounge room
• Heinrich (2/5): Schmuddelig und einfach ekelhaft dreckig - Total dreckiges Zimmer. Einfach ekelhaft der versiffte Teppichboden. Bad war sicher schon ewig nicht mehr geputzt. Und das Frühstück hat den Namen nicht mal annähernd verdient. NICHT ZU EMPFEHLEN
• Matous (10/5): - Everything was simply perfect. It was one of the best hostels on my journey along the west coast of Ireland. Very cozy and clean bedroom, helpful staff, breakfast including good coffee, good price.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely stay at this hostel. Everything was fantastic
• Sue (6/5): - The carpet in our room was dirty. We didnt have towels.
• Michael (8/5): Killarney Ireland - It was just fine, 3 people in Dorm very friendly
• Verified traveler (8/5): Value for money stay - Spacious and clean room.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Wrongly over-charged - Asked for a fifth bed to be put into the room. Rightfully got charged for the fifth bed but when we arrived there was no fifth bed for us. Shocking
• Robert (10/5): - no heating in room
• Sonia (4/5): Never again - We stayed at 6 different locations and places all over Ireland and this was the only one that I would NOT recommend. I will try and add photos from my phone, but this was bad. I booked a 4-bed for myself and my daughter (the only option available) and considering that this place is almost brand-new our room was in a pitiful condition and the bathroom dirty. The front desk never volunteered any information you specifically had to ask for everything. The air in the room was very (!) hot and stuffy and even leaving the window open for 3 full days brought little relief. Even after requesting the bathroom to be cleaned nothing happened and the breakfast is a joke. For backpackers in dorms it may be ok due to the cheap price but for us it really wasn't cheap. The rooms are more than just basic - there literally is nothing but the beds and the outlets. No hangers, no shelves, tables... nothing. Not even a picture on the wall. The first time that I ever have stayed at a place where even my relatively low expectations have been undercut - I consider a hostel / hotel mainly a place to sleep and don't need any fancy stuff but I can not recommend anyone to choose this place. There are many B&Bs and other places to stay at and those are closer to downtown too.
• KAZUKI (8/5): - Friendly receptionist. The entrance was felt to be a little bit far from parking place when it's rainy.
• Leena-Kaisa (8/5): Siisti ja ystävällinen hostelli - Meitä oli matkassa 10 hengen porukka ja yövyimme kolmessa huoneessa. Yleinen tunnelma oli hyvä, hostelli oli rauhallisella paikalla ja huoneet siistissä kunnossa. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja valmista neuvomaan. Kuitenkin pieniä valituksia tuli, esim. yhden huoneen wc ei vetänyt hyvin ja aamupalalla leivät, murot, maito ja kahvi loppuivat kesken. Eniten hämmennystä herätti se, että nähtävästi jokaisen olisi pitänyt itse tiskata käsin aamupala-astiansa, minkä koimme aika epähygieeniseksi. Nyt astiat oli kaikki käytetty kun viimeiset meistä tulivat aamupalalle, ei mukavaa sekään.
• Karim Farag (10/5): Good experience - Nice place to stay at, remember it is a hostel not hotel. Room are clean, we took a quadruple family room and we had a good experience.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est... - Après une certaine attente pour l'enregistrement nous avons reçu les clés pour une chambre qui ne ne correspondait pas à notre réservation. Nous avions réservé une chambre pour trois avec un lit double et un lit superposé et avons découvert une chambre avec deux lits superposés. La réceptionniste nous a proposé de changer de chambre en indiquant que celle-ci avait une salle de bain aménagée pour les personnes à mobilité réduite et disposait d'un évier plus petit. Souhaitant des lits conformes à notre réservation nous avons accepté. Le lavabo était plus que petit et il n'était absolument pas adapté pour faire notre toilette. De plus la chambre n'était prête donc il a fallu attendre. Le petit déjeuner était compris dans la réservation. Après avoir salué une autre réceptionniste (tête baissée sur son téléphone) le matin nous nous sommes dirigés dans la salle et il n'y avait rien à manger à part un reste de céréales. Je suis alors allée demander à la réceptionniste qui m'a fait remarquer qu'il y avait de quoi manger (reste de céréales). Elle a rempli les distributeurs et elle devait regarder pour du pain de mie mais j'attends encore... E passant devant la réception pour retourner dans la chambre elle avait toujours la tête baissée sur son téléphone. Nous sommes très déçus d'avoir payé 85€ pour une telle prestation.
• Sharie (8/5): All good - Private room expensive. Facilities good and newer
• Paul (10/5): Bon rapport qualité/prix - Auberge de jeunesse très bien localisée (2km Kilarney centre), avec supermarché en face. Super accueil ! Nous avions une chambre (calme) privative pour 4 avec petit déjeûner, les parties communes sont excentrées de la partie nuit. Inter-générationnel, très sympa. Ressemble plus à un motel.
• Aline (8/5): Fonctionnel - Excellent rapport qualité prix.
• Patricia (6/5): - Breakfast was bad.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Rooms are not equipped with anything! - We booked a room that according to the reservation was supposed to be one twin bed and bunk bed for the kids. Well, that was not possible so we got two bunk beds instead. That was of course not a major issue for us. But what stroke us the most was that there is ABSOLUTELY nothing in the rooms except the beds. And I mean nothing. There is no table and no chairs of any kind (and no TV of course). There is not even hooks on the wall where you could hang your coats on. This is very strange as otherwise the rooms where quite OK considering the room rate and bathroom was OK (on Irish standards). All belongins and clothes need to be lied on the floor and that is not very cool. Place works with minimum staff so don't expect service and smile behind the counter, not even proper English. There are no towels in the rooms even if you have booked a room with own bathroom. You can get those at the reception but most likely you have to pay for those. We stayed for 4 days and the room was not cleaned even once. Not even the trash can was emptied. So, please don't let the reality bite when you book this place. For a hostel this place was however quite clean (residents have to wash their own dishes and wipe the tables) and also fairly new, which has some positive value or maybe we were just lucky to share our stay with other guests who actually kept the kitchen clean.
• Janet (10/5): Clean and well maintained - We arrived late and were welcomed then showed to our rooms. There was only one washer and dryer which was surprising for a facility this size. Breakfast area was good with plenty of the basics you prepared yourself and then washed your own dishes which was fine. The kitchen was well equipped to do your own cooking. Facility was clean!!! Well maintained!!!
• Mark (6/5): - Booked a room with double bed and bunk bed but when we arrived we got 2 sets of bunk beds!! So when your booking make sure it's a family room not quadruple room as the only rooms with double bed is family room...even though it stated on email that we were getting double and bunk.we got a small discount..thank God we were only staying one night. Not a thing in the room only beds, no chair,table or towels in bathroom we definitely won't be staying there again!!
• cyrille (2/5): - Chambre sale (cheveux des précédents occupants sur sol sdb). Pas de nettoyage du sol pendant les trois jours. Petit déjeuner : plus de café ou de pain après 8h30. Deux nuits sur trois où on a pas pu dormir vu le bruit fait par les autres chambres vers 2/3 heures du matin. Il faut avoir les chambres au fond du couloir pour pouvoir dormir.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Desayuno nefasto - El hostel está bien en general, camas cómodas,baño moderno y limpio, pero no existe en la habitación de cuatro ni un solo mueble donde dejar las cosas, ni una simple repisa, estuvimos con todo por el suelo, a pesar de lo amplia que era la habitación. Lo peor fue el desayuno sólo había pan de molde y mermelada de naranja ni siquiera había mantequilla y nadie a quien preguntar, los que llegaron detrás nuestra ni pan les quedo.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Compared to the price the "hotel" is not to recommend.
• Ivy (8/5): Family stay. - The common facilities were in very good condition. Kitchen is well equipped, enough for many to use. This is a good family hostel. However , a minor improvement could be done to the rooms by adding a slim table to put things
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good place - Met nice people at the hostel. It has the communal living experience.
• Anne (10/5): Très bien situé et service impeccable - Sa localisation est idéale pour explorer le Ring of Kerry ainsi que le parc national de Killarney. Le Wi-Fi est gratuit et nous avons accès également à une aire commune comprenant un salon, un espace de jeux pour les enfants, une salle à manger et une cuisine que nous pouvons utiliser. La réception est ouverte 24h. La jeune fille qui nous a accueillis lors de notre arrivée était souriante et d'une extrême gentillesse. Une chambre avec deux lits simples nous avait été assignée. Nous avons demandé à la jeune fille s'il était possible d'obtenir une chambre avec lit double et elle a acquiescé à notre demande. Le lit était confortable et il y avait également deux lits superposés dans notre chambre. La salle de bain était spacieuse et comportait une toilette, un lavabo et une douche. Il y a plusieurs restaurants à proximité ainsi qu'un supermarché (SuperValu) pour ceux qui désirent acheter des mets déjà préparés ou qui préfèrent cuisiner leurs propres plats. Le petit déjeuner est inclus. Il est plutôt minimaliste si l'on compare aux autres expériences vécues lors de notre séjour en Irlande. Il n'y avait que du café instantané, aucun jus puisque la distributrice était hors d'usage, céréales et pain en tranches. Bon, quant à nous, cela nous a semblé secondaire puisque même à la maison, notre petit déjeuner se limite à ... un café et une ou deux tranches de pain grillées.
• Astrid (10/5): Hostel digne d'un hôtel - Un hostel aux allures de vrai hôtel! Le staff est accueillant et serviable, les services complets, et la propreté des chambres et des espaces communs est top. Les chambres sont calmes, spacieuses, les lits confortables. Je recommande pour un court ou long séjour. Quand on vient en voiture c'est très bien, il y a un accès aux routes principales et un parking. Sinon, le centre ville est à 15 minutes de marche.
• Verified traveler (6/5): できたばかりできれい - 同時期に泊まっていたティーンエイジャーが夜中にやりたい放題で、本当にうるさかった。
• Yuh (10/5): Best hostel!! - The room was clean and big(10 women bedroom). The bathroom also have shower gel& shampoo just like hotel. Simple breakfast but it was nice. The staffs were nice and helpful. Although it took 20 mins walking from bus station, I would recommend others to stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Comfortable,good location and very helpful staff,only sorry we couldn't stay longer but hostel was full
• Terry (10/5): Nice hostel very central - Very clean nice and quiet, handy for ring of Kerry
• Lindsey (6/5): Spacious and clean - Inexpensive lodging with no frills. It is very basic, but decent. Staff was nice and helpful.
• hadar (8/5): - Great hostel, slightly far from city center (15-20 minutes of walking)
• Verified traveler (6/5): Bad breakfast. - The breakfast was so bad, the stay would be better without it. No soap in the shower. Friendly receptionist.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Almost new clean hostel,with few missing things.. - It was almost new building with a clean rooms and bedrooms. Few thing missed for me. No any table or chairs or hanging for the clothes.The smoking area is outside without any ashtray. The mattraces clean but a bit uncomfortable. Anyway..good for a travellers!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good place to stay in Killarney - Clean and close to town. Good value for money..........................................
