“Lovely hostel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

This was the first hostel I stayed in, in Ireland anyway, and I have to say it was nice, great value 16 euro, and considering hotels are still ripping us off I thought that was great considering what it's used for:) ideal for large groups, have twin and double rooms too :) ideal location across the road from train station and 2 mins walk from town!!! No parking but car parks near by!!!

“Good location and excellent staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2011

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.

“Great Italian Refugio feel but lacked cleanliness, space for luggage in room, and bad wifi connection for smart phones”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2011 via mobile

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 shower. Maybe if you take a shower later, you won't encounter this. The sheets needed to be replaced because there was stains in them. They were washed but still stained.

“Great for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2010

I have stayed in the Railway Hostel 3 times and never had any issues. common area is always clean, staff on reception friendly and the location is unreal for such a good price. My friends and I often use the hostel to go to Kilarney to see J90 who play in the Grand hotel on a monday night which is well worth the 2 hour drive for.

Stayed December 2009, travelled with friends
