Location was excellent, right next to St. Anne's church and the Shandon Bells. Its also located very close to the bus stop where you can catch the bus to Blarney Castle (about 25 minutes away and much cheaper than taking a tour). The single room I got was like having an apartment room of my own in the city, so that was appreciated after a long day of sightseeing.

Friendly staff, city center location, clean environment, nice roommates.

Could have been better with an elevator in the hostel. Would have been easier for elderly people and people with heavy luggage. Cleanliness was highly looked after . Kudos foe that.

Great layout of bigger dorm rooms with added separation which made them feel quite a bit smaller which was a great thing in this case.

Having used booking com to book a request to move to a large dormitory was rejected - solely because I’d booked through booking.com and not on non availability of an alternative. The room allocated was small, stuffy and dirty. Much prefer a dorm without shared en suite.
