    My experience at Hotel Sheila in Cork was truly disappointing. The room was extremely dark, with walls painted in a nearly black blue that made it feel like a prison. The bunk bed was so low you couldn’t even sit up; you had to crawl out hunched over. There were no windows, and the photo shown online does not match reality at all. There was constant noise, and the only airflow came from the private bathroom, bringing in the smell of fried food from the kitchen. I left smelling like grease right before a job interview, which was very unpleasant. There was nowhere to sit, the space was extremely narrow, gloomy, and felt like a dungeon. I didn’t take any photos because there wasn’t enough light to capture anything. I do not recommend this place at all—the images online do not reflect the real experience.

    It was in close proximity to town. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

    It was up hill with little access. The room I had to which was a 6 bed dorm was soo squishy and small it had little to no air flow or ventilation which made it it very warm which would be okay in winter to keep warm, but at the end of summer when I stayed it was not nice. Also because of the size of the room and the number of beds there was no room for people’s belongings to be stored or for people to get ready and not disturb the others in the room too much. It made for an uncomfortable stay.

    Globally this hostel offers a decent variety of equipment ( tv room,Sauna,courtyard...).The location is not bad 10 minutes to the city center but the hotel is located uphill which ican be difficult for elderlt.The hostel is clean.A great place to meet new people also.

    The bedroom was a bit tiny and the hand-dryer of the toilet nearby was noisy even in late evenings.

    Location is excellent. 5 minutes to coach station and old town.

    Although it’s not a cheap hostel, luggage store is not free. Even before check-in!

    Great central location, cheapest possible price. A long narrow and curvy room, so the beds are not standing in direct sight. Each bed has a privacy drape. Bathroom in the room, external shared bathrooms are also available. Charging socket at every bed. Friendly and helpful staff. Very cheap breakfast.

    The breakfast is only toast, butter, jam, musli, milk and coffee. Would be good to have a bit more expensive option with better choice.

    It was clean and the staff was kind.

    Up a big hill, annoying with luggage. Also very very hard beds.

    I stayed in a hostel for the first time and I never expected it to be this good. The room, shared bathroom and toilet were perfectly clean! I also loved the silence in the rooms. Everything was so calm.

    I liked everything but the breakfast was very basic.
