Guest Reviews
- Daniela (8/5): Interesante - La cocina me encantó, espacios comunes muy buenos y limpios y la ubicación es muy buena, puedes llegar caminando al centro Un solo baño para una habitación de 14 personas. Las camas no son cómodas, y las literas se mueven un montón, si tu compañero de arriba se mueve durante la noche, no te asustes, no es un terremoto grado 7.
- Hayley (9/5): Great location - Staff, location The shower stopped working in the middle of me showering

- Rita (6/5): - Nice location and nice staff The room was a bit claustrophobic and there should be more bathrooms available
- AYŞE PERVİN (7/5): - şehir merkezine yakın, temiz, çalışanlar çok yardımcı oluyor oda çok küçük, kalanlar gürültücü olabiliyor. ve soğuk
- Rubens (5/5): - localizacao The price could be a little better, since everything was charged for, even bath towels.
- Monika (9/5): Sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft zu einem für Cork relativ guten Preis - Die Lage ist perfekt, das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfreich, es gibt im Zimmer große Schließboxen, in die locker ein Reisetrolley passt und einen Locker-Raum an der Rezeption für Abreisen nach dem Check-out, eine gut ausgestattete Küche und Sitzplätze, Frühstück optional für 5 EURO, alles ist sauber und gut organisiert. Am Bett gibt es eine Leiste mit Licht und Steckdose und einen Vorhang. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Die Sanitäranlagen könnten besser funktionieren: Das Wasser an Waschbecken und Duschen funktioniert über Knopfdruck und es passiert oft, dass man mehrmals drücken muss und manchmal auch länger warten, bis Wasser kommt - dann kommt es allerdings fast immer mit ausreichend Wasserdruck. Das Toilettenpapier rollt oft nicht gut ab. Die Seifenspender liefern nur minimalste Mengen an Seife und man muss sehr oft drücken, bis es für einmal Händewachen wirklich ausreicht.

- Rebecca (3/5): Overall, as first time hostel guests, the experience wasn't quite what we expected. - The hostel was affordable, check-in was straightforward and communication before arrival was good. The walk up to the hostel was quite difficult as it is located on a steep hill, and there were a lot of rowdy drunk people outside when we arrived which felt a little uncomfortable. We also found some staff came across as slightly rude at times. There were a lot of stairs up to the room with no lift, which was difficult with heavy bags. The room itself had no window, so it felt very stuffy with no fresh air, and the beds were fairly hard. The hostel was also quite noisy during the night which made it difficult to sleep.
- Jean (8/5): - Perfect fir a one night stay
- Laila (10/5): -
- Maria Rosa (10/5): Impecable y excelente atención. - Excelente ubicación, instalaciones impecables, atención permanente, respuesta inmediata a cualquier requerimiento, buen desayuno y precios asequibles. Todo perfecto.

- Seija (6/5): Kaiken kaikkiaan onnistunut valinta hinta-laatu suhde huomioiden! - sijainti hyvä, mutta kylttejä pääkatujen varsilla saisi olla enemmän kun Summer hill North suunnasta tullessa kyltti niin kaukana jolloin ystäväni luulivat, että Sheila on siinä kyltin lähellä ja olikin pidempi matka eikä enää lisäkylttejä miten päästä perille. Työntekijöillä vastaanotossa kiire joten ei uskaltanut kunnolla kysyä ja väsyneenä ei oikein painunut mieleen kun nopeasti selittivät vastaukset kysymyksiin.
- Sanghwa (6/5): it was not that bad. - It was not that bad, but it had noise in the night I think the building is old so when the others from other rooms opened or closed the door I could hear all. Also I found a really tiny insect in my bed but it didnt look like a bed bug.At least I hope :) But other than that the room looked clean. Some staffs were not that friendly. 6 Euros for luggage bad smell in the women shower room. No lift. Actually its only for sleeping.

- Florent (10/5): Back to the future ! - L’accueil, la proximité des pubs intéressants, les retrouvailles avec ce lieu, 30 ans après ! x

- Ionata (7/5): - Posizione centrale, cucina spaziosa, bagni puliti.
- maria del carmen (9/5): Una noche en cork - El trato del personal Todo ok
- MaksymІ (5/5): Hostel like Ryanair - Good location, reasonable price, quite clean very few space, common toilet, bath, kitchen. Acceptable, but I'd rather avoid such experience. Ok to stay 1 night and walk around Cork all the time you don't fall asleep

- Douglas (10/5): Comfortable, safe and fun environment! - Location was great close walk to the city center, and nearby pubs and restaurants. I felt like breakfast could have been more than toast and cereal.

- Guest (10/5): -
- Jennifer (5/5): Very close to town up a big hill, clean and comfortable - Lots of common areas, great kitchen, very clean 3 flights of stairs after walking up the massive hill. I paid too much for a private room thinking it would be quieter than a dorm but it was shit as the guy next door was on some kind of drugs and talked from 1:30 am till 6 am. He was evicted the next day but it was a very sleepless night and no offer of a refund of any kind.
- adrian (8/5): -
- Alice (8/5): - The hostel is quiet at night and right next to the city centre. There aren’t many bathrooms and there are lots of guests so it can get dirty pretty fast. The bedroom is very narrow.
Some guests don't respect the quiet hours policy, unfortunately...
- Emily (8/5): Quite a good short stay in a lovely town - Close to everything, lovely staff very accommodating Had to walk up a steeeeep hill to get there and the room was all blue!
- Mike (7/5): Met my expectations but noisy neighbours are a nightmare - Long time since I last stayed in a hostel but I knew it would be different from a hotel. I was expecting the bunks, the tiny rooms and the unpleasantness of sharing that space with 3 men. But this is what you pay for. The showers were fine, the toilets ok and the staff, I have to say, were great but bloody hell people are so loud, so inconsiderate and there's only so much any hostel can do about that. Banging doors, loud horseplay and shouting, getting a good night's sleep was nigh on impossible. I felt safe enough, I didn't go out to confront anyone, most of it was drink and high spirits but whoever you are, wherever you stay just think for a moment that others around you are sleeping.
