A really helpful, welcoming and friendly place to stay. The staff are really helpful and give you ideas on what to see and do. They can’t really do enough. The service was far better than you would receive in a hotel. The hostel is basic and in no way upmarket or posh but offers a comfortable, clean and reasonably priced... More

staff could do with brushing up on their social skills - the entire time we were there, we didn't even get eye contact from any of them, let alone a smile. VERY noisey at night, which i'm afraid to say, was the fault of the staff as most of the noise was due to the excessively loud t.v - which... More

I got there with a friend for a weekend before doing the Kerry way. We got there on thursday. It's in the city center so it's really easy to get to all the interesting things there. Rooms were clean and comfy. Maybe having a closet or even an extra table could make our life easier, but it wasn't really necessary.... More

We really appreciated the helpfulness of the night staff and the ability to book tours right from the front desk. The room was great, huge and divided so as to provide some privacy. Hard beds, but that's to be expected in a hostel. Clean bathrooms and breakfast of toast and cereal is included. Well worth the money. More

The interior decorating was fun and had many hangout areas to make friends and cook. The service is great! They will go above and beyond to meet your needs. The location is great, in between the bus station and downtown. The bathrooms hadn't been cleaned Yet that morning and there was matted hair and a large dead bug in the... More

Stayed here for one night with my parents. Great location, not much parking outside but they directed us to a free car park for the night within walking distance. We arrived late at night which was no problem with reception open to greet us. My parents stayed in a double room with ensuite and were more than happy. I stayed... More
