The vibe feels a little off. It's great that the place serves those seemingly more permanent residents who seem like a short step away from homelessness. Dirty dishes piled in kitchen. 10 second button showers operating at 1000°. You get what you pay for here.

Great location right in the lung of town.

Better attention with the cleaning of this place. Room was fine but I noticed stains on the pillowcase on the other bed in the room I was staying in. Staff are helpful but could be friendlier. Take the €3 for the towel rental by card!! Not everyone has cash or coins on them these days! Almost an ordeal to get change back from €20.

Location. Room I had was quiet.

very small for 4 beds in one room, only one charging port for 4 people in room, cleanliness is a big issue, and shower is not great, you have to keep it pressed to have showering no adjustment of hot water....you have to shower under the hot water which can burn your skin...beds are very old and not comfortable...

Location is good, middle of city, has few parkings.

The toilets were not cleaned regularly enough since they did not always flush right. The room needs more sockets as a 5 person room only had 2 sockets. The microwave did not work, neither did part of the stove. Windows would be nice if they could open further.

The location was good close to the city and the bus and train station so ideal for travelling Some kitchen essentials were available.

Frankly improvable cleanliness for the room. Very poor cleanliness of the shared kitchen, a lot of glasses and plates were dirty and the only space for washing dishes is clearly not enough.

It is a hostel so do not expect a lot of amenities. The best is the option of private bathroom and the close location to the town center.

No window in the room but a sunlight that doesn't open (eye mask a must for the top bed) there's a window in the bathroom for some air if you leave the door open. Still, in summer it was a bit hot Small room There is long term local people staying and even tho they are not friendly they seemed harmless

I was very exceptical because of all the bad comments. We stayed in a private bunk bed twin room with ensuite. The room was clean, the bed and pillows comfortable. The location is great The free parking part is very cheeky as they block the spots for them, but there's a big carpark 1 block away that is free from 6pm til the morning We didn't cook there but did take a look at it, old but not too bad

It was grand. Cheap and cheerful

The facility is a bit old, specially the kitchen 😔. There aren't enough toiletries and the room doesn't have enough exhaust.

Its near the town and walking distance to pubs and restaurants. The staff are accommodating as well.

It is a bit old, dark. I felt like most of the people are workers who need to be in the town temporarily.

Price and location.

The bed was very uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, the kitchen was very unhygienic! We don't need much luxury when travelling, but we have never experienced anything like it: old, poorly equipped and very dirty, also cutlery/plates etc. Even though the travellers use it, it's down to the management to ensure a basic standard and a good level of hygiene. That really was a downside for us :-(

Nice and friendly staff, very close to the city center, car parking available, private room with private bathroom good value for money

The shower enclosure could be larger as it wet the entire bathroom floor and there could be more control over the water temperature, which can be extra hot at times

Good stay for the price, excellent location, friendly staff, comfortable beds and overall clean room.

The bed looked like it had been slept in and they did not change the sheets.

How close it was

As a solo female traveller it definitely wasn’t the most comfortable. The staff were lovely but there seemed to be a lot of long term stays there which created an interesting dynamic.

The kitchen is the DIRTIEST hostel kitchen I’ve ever stayed in. Visible food remains on kitchenware, the soap was so watered-down I had to use about half the bottle to get any suds. Be prepared for this when cooking, or plan to dine out. Not the most inviting common area. Poor lighting, only one outlet works downstairs to charge your stuff. Cyclists: no secure/off-street bike storage. I asked if I could keep it in the gated area behind the hostel, and eventually they agreed, but I really had to push for it, and the manager wasn’t very happy to help.

Central location, clean sheets and shower facilities

Stayed in June 2025

tiny bedroom, bunk bed too small for an adult, 2 sockets for 4 beds, stains on whole bedding and pillow, but it obviously costs this cheap value.

Good location, very close to the train station, guy on reception very kind.

Bedding needs upgrade The bed was comfortable but the linen felt a bit unclean . Please do something about the beds up they is no ladder for going up .it's not safe.

Showers clean and the water was nice and hot. I won't say anything about the kitchen but more cleaning Will do a big difference to it. Thank you.

Cleanless

Close to the center.

They could clean the rooms, lots of dust and dirt in the room. It's a pitty that they don't take care much about it.

It's close to the center. It's cheaper then other accomodation I was looking.

Expensive! Funky smell. Rough ride..however there was a certificate on wall proudly displaying 10th best hostel in killarney....
