    not much everything was pretty good. I wanted to see more dogs since I’m a dog person

    the staff was super on top of things. everyone works hard to communicate with the guest when I lost something as simple as a socks. bike rental was simple and a easy return.

    It's more then just a hostel - it's a little community in the middle of beautiful Killarney! “Sharing is caring” is the motto - everyone is super friendly. The rooms are cosy, you just have to feel comfortable. The garden is a big plus, too!!! <3

    The breakfast was excellent! Cannot believe there were fresh eggs from the chickens! The whole living environment was very comfy - wonderful song, nice beds, a chill living room, as well as a common kitchen. We'd highly recommend it!

    How to leave home and stay like home? You have to come to "Black Sheep Hostel"! It's a nice place with a homely atmosphere. Rooms are named by countries or continents names. There are lots of antiques and paintings in the corridors. Also lot of funny drawings. Quiet and cozy. Also the kitchen and dining rooms are full of various items from around the world. This is right place for travelers! Very nice service, clean rooms and bathrooms. Attention! The rooms are co-educated. Maybe that's not good? I think a light breakfast should be available before 6 AM (but it is not) - because many tourists often go to the mountains early morning or have to go somewhere else. The hostel is located outside the center of Killarney so it is a quiet area. However, it is not far to the bus / train station and the city center. There is also rent-a-bike nerby (O'Sullivan's, Beech Rd.) It was a nice stay in Killarney for me!

    Besides the excellent cleanliness, the bunk beds were solid and still smelled like fresh pine wood, mattresses firm, and two pillows, bonus! The kitchen had free condiments and a huge variety of spices available. They even have chickens that give fresh eggs, not many, but still a perk. The staff was super, shout out to Nacho and Alex, thank you for being helpful and friendly.

    It may be my room only, but the floor was creaking. When someone in the room was waking up in the night to go for a toilet, this person was most likely waking up few more people in the room

    There is a nice hostel vibe there, which makes you feel comfortable. Easily accessible electrical outlets, curtains for beds, place to leave your bag for a day, nice staff (2 dogs included) and a nice breakfast.

    I wish i was able to stay longer. But the next time im back in town, i will be stay at The Black Sheep Hostel.

    The best Hostel I've stayed at. Each bed had there own privacy curtains, power outlets and reading light. The breakfast was filling. The atmosphere was awesome. The kitchen was open to cook your own meals. The walls are painted with pictures. If you arrive before check in, they will let you store it there. You are treated with great respect, like part of the family. Fresh eggs from there own chickens. This is just the icing on the cake.

    The hostel is showing its age/a bit run down. No washer/dryer on site Oven was broken during my stay.

    Private bunks with personal light/charger/shelf. Comfortable mattress, 2 pillows and warm comforter. Kitchen with cooking utensils/spices/free foodstuffs left from previous guests (less waste and great for budget travelers). Garden & chickens kept in the backyard and fresh eggs for guest use (great idea!). Recycling and composting practiced on site. Continental breakfast provided. Attached coffee shop. Homey atmosphere. Great value overall.
