If you re looking for a place to sleep, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE ! Thankfully I am only staying one night. I know how hostels are and that some like to have fun but there should be QUIET HOURS! I did not sleep at all because nobody has respect for anyone. Doors are slamming all night, stairs are very loud, people are singing and screaming. I went to see the man at the reception, he told them but nothing changes. This is the worst night I ever spent. I actually thought about leaving at 4:30am but to do what ?
The kitchen is dirty, the floor slippery, fridges smells, garbage is full and dishes dirty. Staff is not too bad.
1€ PER DAY TO PUT YOUR LUGGAGE IN SAFE PLACE, because no lockers in the rooms, this is the first time I see this, it's stealing.
Parking is free from 6:30pm til 8:30am so do not arrive too early. Breakfast is 3€/PP and nothing special.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Unless you want to stay up all night in a crappy place.response / report this review -

Very friendly staff (Paddy) with nice big kitchen and social areas. Close to great parts of the city once you manage the super steep hill up York St. Basic breakfast for 3 euro, but I didn't try it. Not a lot of power outlets in smallish room, but overall I really liked this place. Only lockers are also rentals in a different room downstairs that are cheap and large. It is a very popular hostel so would recommend booking in advance. I was able to secure a Wednesday and Thursday night but the weekend was booked up. Allegedly there is an issue in Cork with not enough housing.

Pretty decent layout. Small but cozy, they offer onsite overnight laundry service for 5Euro which is a bonus for travellers. Sadly, no lockers in the rooms, they have a locker area that you pay 1Euro per day to use plus a 5Euro deposit for the key otherwise I would have given 5 stars. The area is perfect, well within walking distance of most shops, pubs and attractions. Great and friendly staff!

Stayed for 2 nights and it was nice. A lot of stairs but that's to expect from a hostel in Ireland. It was close to everything we wanted to do and fairly simple to get to (lots of signs). We didn't spend much time actually in the common areas but everything seemed clean and well-kept. Beds were more comfortable than the last couple we've stayed at

The location is more then perfect. The place is quiet at night but close to the river and the bus stop (we've arrived from Dublin) - 10 mins walk with luggage. And at the same place stops the Blarney-tour bus. And some great pubs are very close (the White Rabbit, The Corner House..) and a small supermarket.
The kitchen and the toilet needs some maintenance, but the rooms are not dirty as some people said The bedrooms are really small and don't have any furniture. Tidy and clean - good for short stay.response / report this review -

Very friendly staff that was very helpful. The dorm was a bit basic, but functional and had decent comfort. Some of the bathrooms and toilets were rundown and require some maintenance. Overall a recommended hostel for short stays.

The staff was really friendly and helpful. The hostel itself was what you expect, only downside was the bathrooms. Those were pretty small. The location of the hostel was also convenient, city within walking distance (5 minutes).

Rooms are small but clean. The best thing about this hostel is the big kitchen and common room. You meet so many people while cooking and eating, during our stay we even ended up cooking Belgian dishes for some people we met, while they made Chinese dishes for us. Really amazing.

The bad first.
No hot water and heaters set so low they don't work, mentioned to staff on first night, again next morning and again second night, I was assured that they're fine but it's definitely cold by anyone's standards. The walls are super thin and you can hear everything said on your entire floor, any movement will be heard and felt. The beds are only 40cm apart from each other and that's the gap you've got to move around your room in and no lockers in your room.
The good.
Laundry is done by staff at about the same cost as doing it yourself at other hostels leaving you available to go have fun but not on Sunday or Monday morning. Parking is plentiful and €2 per hour but only during business hours.
The lack of heating and hot water is enough to completely ruin your experience here, I definitely don't recommend staying.response / report this review -

For a hostel, actually not too shabby. Communal bathrooms are definitely a let down as they are small and feel very aged. Staff are very welcoming and the building has its nice features. Beds not too bad though top bunk can be quite loud
