There are about 3-4 small dogs so expect some barking during the day, but it is quiet at night. If you’re in a dorm next to the street it can wake you up early.

Lovely hostel with a good vibe. Good kitchen for cooking and bed curtains in the rooms for privacy. Felt clean and sheets were comfortable.

Bedroom and bathroom. Cold. The dogs sitting on the sofa, smelling and sniffing around the kitchen.

Kitchen

Wide too much smelly. I don't mind dogs, but come on, the place needs ventilation and cleaning.

Everything available, comfortable open space to share and meet new people

Felt the kitchen ( mainly ) needed a deep cleaning ! Ie : dish towels needed to be bleached !

Location and that they had bikes to rent .

We had a nice private room at the hostel - basic comfort

Stayed in August 2023

Private shower rooms, but they are so small and no hooks to hang your things - very awkward. Dorm rooms are super busy, with people arriving home late at night.

Well appointed kitchen, coffee shop attached to the hostel, great location!

The Shower. I've been to over 100 accommodations across Europe, and the shower in this hostel was the WORST. Nearly catastrophe. 1. Fixed shower head, which I hate most. But that's fine, it is bearable. Cos I understand it is not something that can be fixed or improved. 2. Extremely cramped. You can't even stretch your arms. I couldn't even dry my body since the shower room was too small, but it was still bearable. I AM ABLE TO understand the hostel can not fix it. 3. No way will you be able to put your things anywhere in the shower room. No shelves, no hangers, but just the dirty floor. I asked one staff 'Could you place at least a tiny chair or something in order to put my stuff on that', and she said just 'No', without any explanation or excuse. I think this point can not be tolerated. It is the only thing that you CAN improve your shower room, and you immediately refuse! 4. Furthermore, the water was too hot. It was more than boiling! And you can not adjust the temperature, but just bear it. And my skin couldn't do it, so I got burned. 5. And lastly, but not least, on the last day I stayed here, I couldn't use water at all. I guess something to do with the use of water was broken, so I could not use any water there. Not only for the shower, but also for the toilet!

Comfortable bed, Nice staff, Fine breakfast

It was just okay!

Stayed in June 2023

The locks on the doors were really hard to open and lock and the floors especially noisy. Hard to keep quiet for the other roommates with these two features.

Great location and friendly staff.

Stayed in May 2023

It was quite dusty in the locker under the bed, my clothes were dirty under there. Lack of dishtowels in the kitchen:they smelled bad and werent washed as I was there for 3 days. Not enough hooks for the beds in the corner of the room so only a towel per person could be hung and there was no railing to do a makeshift clothes line.

Loved the mattress, the bathroom on the second (third) floor, the breakfast was decent. Super well situated.

Stayed in May 2023

I wasn't aware that I needed my own lock to secure my luggage in the provided locker space, and I only found that out when I arrived. The person who checked me in said they would tell me where to buy a lock but never did. The whole place had an off-smell. I was met with barking dogs when I first entered, which I wasn't expecting and triggered my anxiety. The sheets on the bed were incredibly itchy. I was unfortunate to be staying with other people who got up at 3am opening the door and heavy footsteps - no fault of the property but didn't help with me in my experience. I woke up feeling icky, the building has damp issues. I was supposed to stay for 3 nights but I only stayed for 1, stayed elsewhere for the 2nd night, handed in my key early and stayed elsewhere for the 3rd. Quite disappointed. I stayed in another place the night before coming here, and that place was perfect. Perhaps hostels aren't for me.

I liked that the bunk beds were bigger than I expected, and the curtains for privacy.

Stayed in April 2023

There is someone not very pleasant in the hostel but I'm not sure he is a staff or people who stays there. (using the kitchen)

It's in the centre of the town, the other side from bus/train station but Killarney is small and walkable. Good energy for a hostel.

Stayed in April 2023

First of all the room had a glass wall facing the common dining area. There was a decent curtain. But the wall at the same time is the only window in the room. So you get either privacy or some light. The heater in the room was not working which was okay for us at the time. There was no wardrobe in the room wich made our 3 days stay not so comfortable. Bathroom is super big but the space was kinda useless because there was nothing to place our toiletries on. No cabinet, no shelf. There were two hooks but they were not attached properly to the wall so it was challenging to use them. So the only storage was a tiny cloudy window (also facing common area) above the toilet… which had no lid! I was waking up because people upstairs were walking and I could hear every step quite loudly. All that above would be perfectly fine if the price would be lower. We came to Killarney the from a hotel in Dublin city center which had absolutely everything we didn’t get in the hostel + an ironing board in every room but costed almost the same money.

Me and my partner were staying in the private room with ensuite bathroom. The room was clean and big and the bed was comfortable (very soft mattress though). Staff was exceptionally friendly. Hostel is equipped with a nice living room and has it’s own garden. There is a coffee shop right inside the reception wich is open every day since 7am and the coffee is really decent! Overall very pleasant place.

Nothing

Friendly atmosphere, just as expected

Stayed in February 2023

Could do with new flooring as slats loose here and there and very squeaky in room. Maybe bit more of a general clean like doors etc. Small table in room would have been good to put stuff on.

Staff fantastic and helpful. Loved laidback and professional attitude. Breakfast was great, cereal homemade bread, fruit, yoghurt, etc all fab! Felt safe and would definitely choose if I was a lone traveller. Chill out room with open fire so comfortable. Shower good too.

Stayed in February 2023

Some Male staff attitude, dirtiness in the rooms, cold everywhere, dogs moving around, no window blinds, dirty bed blinds & bed sheets & pillow cases, no soaps for washing hands, door keys not working well etc...

Some Ladies staff, the location, and the coffee and hot shower..

Stayed in December 2022

There was inside the hotel 3 dogs and dogs were so angry, also my roommates they were so rude people, they were coming to sharing room at the midnight pm 2 o'clock they were singing song i didn't sleep well

Everything is so good, i like this hostel also all of reception and staff they were so kind.

Stayed in December 2022

Room felt stuffy & dusty, key wouldn't open straight away, no towel. Hens & ducks in the garden are locked in a small, dark cage which is completely unacceptable. Dogs (which are cute but not perfect Hygiene to have them living inside the hostel) on the other hand have a sort of a shrine in the kitchen, it's bizarre.

Central location, right next to national park entrance. Library and back garden were super cosy. Nice staff.

Stayed in September 2022

Very small bathroom, the restroom weren't very clean and maybe 2 showers and 2 restrooms for 3 dorms are not enough but that's ok !

Rooms, bed are comfy and big, the breakfast was good. they have eggs directly from their chickens. The whole place place is nice.

Private room way too expensive.

Friendly staff. Good location.

There were few toilets for the guests

The staff. Very polite

Stayed in August 2022

There were not enough toilets and showers which made it difficult and unpleasant. Also the showers were really small and there was no room to put personal equipment. Some of the staff were not very pleasant and it clouded the atmosphere.

The hostel was beautiful and some of the staff were nice. The common space was likable. The hostel is close to the park which is the main advantage of the hostel.I loved that the facility encourages environmental protection.

Stayed in June 2022

The shower wasn't great as it was a push button but makes sense to save water.

Good location, friendly staff, definitely met expectations. A very homey feel. It was cozy and felt safe.
