Shower was a bit small, making it hard to change clothes and such.

Great breakfast and comfortable beds providing decent privacy. Staff was super helpful.

The garden and all the communal spaces were very comfortable and relaxing. Everything was very clean, staff couldn't do enough for you. The hostel is very central and has bikes for hire too. Loved the vegetable garden out the back and the chickens and beehive. I'd definitely recommend and definitely be back.

Could do with separate toilet in the upstairs area.

Exceeded my expectation for comfort and cleanliness.

Nitpicking here because of the 9 rating. Must be an old building because there was loud floorboard creaking from the dorm above whenever anyone made a move. The shower room was tiny and had no hooks!

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Lovely staff, great atmosphere, amazing value for money and bonus dogs!

Very homely. Great facilities. Comfy beds and I like the way they are made - feels like you’re in a cubby. Great breakfast and friendly staff.

There was not much of a railing on the side of the bed ..I found it very hard trying to get on the top bunk. You have to strip your own bed and take the linen down to reception...we've never been asked to do that before

The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The room was clean. Very comfortable beds and soft bed linen. I would highly recommend it, it's one of the best hostels I've stayed at

This was the best hostel I have ever been to 🥰. There is a big and well equipped kitchen where you can cook whatever you like. We loved the dogs and the great athmosphere there. You can also buy coffee there which is really delicious.

Breakfast

Everyone was very friendly,garden was beautiful.

The guy from Argentina working around the kitchen was very rude to me. He said I was too old to stay in hostel and to go home.

The location was great and the breakfast was reasonable. The soda bread wasn't so nice though.

this hostel is super cute and cosy but what really makes it is the staff. I had an incident and injured myself and Maya was amazing, she made me some food and helped with organising transport to an A&E in the next town when I couldn’t, and made sure I was as comfortable as I could be the whole time. Anna was also fab and brushed/plaited my hair for me as I couldn’t use my arms. 11/10 hostel 😊

it's a lovely place with arty walls and details. breakfast was included, too and there are 2 rooms to hang out and a kitchen to cook. in the dorms you have curtains which are light dimming and give you privacy and space. The garden is awesome, there are some chickens and it feels like they really care about living on this planet, environment, waste and how we live together. I rented a bike, there is good coffee and cake. You can spend some days there for sure!

Romm was facing the street - lot of noise from cars/pedestrians...

Very helpful staff (I needed alternative check-in).

That I couldn’t stay longer and make use of the tours/bikes on offer.

A well maintained hostel with really friendly staff. The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

The hostel simply feels like home. During my Ireland trip I stayed at two other hostels as well: both super clean and very modern, but much bigger and most of all: much less homely, cosy and comfortable. At the Black Sheep Hostel, all faces feel familiar after having spent just one night there. I had some bad luck during my trip and wasn’t feeling very talkative when I arrived in Killarney, but had some very much appreciated conversations nonetheless - one of them in the beautiful garden! People seemed to spend much less time on their phone in this hostel compared to the other ones I’ve stayed in. The cute dogs may have played their part, but it’s the general feeling of the hostel and the kindness of the staff that really work magic.

The only annoying thing was the push button showers which are annoying if you’re trying to wash long hair. Everything else was above expectations for a hostel.

We loved our stay. The hostel is unique and very conscious of their environmental footprint. It’s great to see accommodation options like this. It felt like you were staying in a big family house. The rooms were a good size with spacious lockers. The kitchen and shared spaces were generous and there was plenty of room for everyone. As well as a great garden and seating out the front. You are very close to all the bars and national park.

No complaints.

Wonderful vibe/energy and great location! Very quiet & private; we rented the apartment.

Loved the relaxed vibe, the friendly and super helpful staff, and the dogs! They also have a gorgeous back garden and a cafe.

Room (Cuba) was fine but a bit exposed to view from the kitchen and would have benefitted from a screen or net curtains. The attached disabled bathroom was a bit cold and spartan but functioned OK

Friendly people. Good facilities for self catering. Free parking nearby. Close to the town centre but in a quiet road. Breakfast included and good quality. Soda bread really good.
