I am not sure why there are so many angry posts about this hostel. To the people complaining about the bunk beds...it's a hostel, that's what hostels have, i have only seen 2 hostels in 20+ hostels that had regular beds and that was only because we chose a private room. This hostel was in a great location, i did... More

I read a few of the reviews on the noise level of the Hostel. It is definitely a lively place with 20 somethings buzzing around and thin walls. What we expected out of an old house turned-into-a-hostel. That being said, we had a pleasant experience. The staff we interacted with was helpful with local tips and do's and don'ts. We... More

If you are looking to party all night-as in not go to sleep until 5am then this is your place. I was looking to sleep, as this is a hostel. People were so loud all night long that I just laid in my bunk until 5am, where I then got 3 hrs of sleep. Accomodations are average-what you would expect.... More

As another visitor mentioned in their review, staff took a deposit of 150 euro on arrival and when we were leaving the staff claimed that we had been making too much noise in our room and refused to...

However, upon checkout we were told that there had been complaints against out room for noise and we would not be getting our money back. They also said we were... More

Stayed in the Kilkenny Tourist Hostel for the Kilkenny Rhythm and Roots festival at the end of April / beginning of May this year with a bunch of friends. The hostel owners were very accommodating and helped our group of friends acquire a dorm room between ourselves which greatly added to our enjoyment of the weekend as we weren't interrupting... More

We have been spending so much money in Ireland so we thought we'd try out a hostel for a week and see how we'd do. Big mistake here. This place although great location, is dirty and old. Things in kitchen are greasy, floors creak and bunk beds, even for couples. Shared bathrooms are clean however and sheets and towels are... More

This hostle is in a very, very old 4-story building - quite charming - Nice self-kitchen - Security good - Good staff - Beer brewery is right behind hostel - go for tour - Kilkenny Castle is interesting - Paris Texas Pub has great Irish music More

We were pleasantly surprised by this hostel. Having stayed in many hostels throughout Ireland, we realized the three most important things are cleanliness, security, and location. Cleanliness was definitely taken care of, and I noticed that the hand towels in all bathrooms were replaced daily. We felt extremely safe though disliked the fact that there weren't any lockers. And the... More
