The staff at our arrival was not friendly, and the night after she made us wait like 10 minutes before telling us the bar was closed. She was just chatting with her friends and clearly noticed we were here waiting. The equipment is not what we expected at this price. Just a bed and a plastic chair. Nowhere to put stuff: no shelf, no little table. The bathroom was like a swimming pool bathroom where you have to press a button for water every 10 seconds, and no water pressure.

Awesome area, super close to everything.

It's kinda narrow in the room for four people, anyway the time I stayed it's not full.

Location is great, 2 mins to bus station, about 10 mins distances from train station. Most of place are walkable.

Small room, basic continental breakfast includes toast and cereal (I wish they had non-dairy milk for the cereal). Also wish they left the kitchen unlocked so we could grab our leftovers anytime rather than not being able to get them between 11pm-7am (an issue of switching time zones significantly and being hungry at the wrong times of day) - looking back, we should have gotten some sealed snacks that didn't need to be refrigerated kept in our room. Warning, it's noisier than most hostels: live music every night which is great, but don't stay here if Cork is your first stop from an international flight and you expect to have jet lag - music from the bar reverberated through our room making it impossible to fall asleep even with earplugs. Thought it was going to be acoustic music, not bass blasting through the walls and making the bed vibrate. Thursday music went until 11pm, which was fine, but Friday it went until 12:30am (even though the bar was supposed to close at 12am) and was much louder. About half an hour after the music stopped, a building's alarm went off on the street for the rest of the night until past 6am, which could be heard through the single-paned window. It's just an old building, so the insulation from noise isn't good.

Clean room & bedding, firm mattresses, towels provided in the private double room, hot shower with good water pressure, warm room, quick check-in process, excellent wi-fi, lovely staff. Perfect location near the bus station, bus stops, and train station. Good hostel if looking for a lively nightlife scene. Saw reviews with complaints about the outside lights, but our shade covered the window fine. Just bring an eye mask. And saw complaints of lack of a fan, we just opened our window to air out the space and that worked fine.

The hospitality and kindness of the people working there, especially the manager.

Mixed dorms don’t have any curtains on beds, there is no elevator and the shower has only one button: on. So you can’t control duration and temperature of the shower. You have to click on the button many times until the hot water starts and it’s very hot then. Towels provided for rent, hairdryer is not in the room

Super good location, very helpful and friendly staff, great kitchen will a lot of space and all needed kitchenware, quiet space for work and also a bar with live music downstairs

The breakfast was okay but I missed some fruit. There were no vegan or gluten-free options.

The room was nice and had everything I needed.

Wasn't able to regulate the water temperature of the shower.

Live music every night

Wasteful water faucet in sink yet the shower required you to repeatedly press the button for water. Kitchen and lounge lighting was soooo bad I couldn't eat or prepare food there. Breakfast was very limited. Nothing of use for me there. Not even fruit. Seemed overly expensive for a single room in a hostel.

Room was basic but functional. Nice and helpful staff. Quiet despite music in the bar. Great location.

Showers only have one temperature (quite hot) and are on a 10 second timing so you have to continually push the button during your shower.

Good location to explore cork city. Nice breakfast included.

Nothing really, if I was being super critical. Maybe look at how the organisation at Breakfast time could be improved

It had a great vibe to the place and safe feel.

Beds are not so comfy. Bedsheets are old and not white. Had to leave a deposit of 10€ for each room key which summed up quickly for a group of 12 people. No elevator, so could be challenging to get to your room with your luggage if you're out of shape. Doors smash really louldly throughout the night, ear plugs are definitely a must here.

Hostel is clean and staff is nice. Location is good, a walking distance from most attractions. Overall good value.

Room is really narrow with bunk beds, I had to go outside to bathroom. Window works badly (reported this to staff). Staff couldn't help me much. Noise from guests during entire night.

Directly in the centrum, kitchen-living room. Noise from bar didn't disturb.

The reception is at the back of the bar and is not continuously manned, so you might have to make yourself known to get any service.

Location is great, a stone throw away from the bus to Dublin, a short walk from the bus to Galway and the main bus station in town. The free breakfast offered is minimal, but it is also free, so no complaints. Toast with butter/marmelade, three types of cereals and milk. Didn't taste the coffee, so can't review. The rooms are small, but sufficient. The ensuite bathroom has a really good mirror light. Easy entrance separate from the bar, but there is indeed a lively bar downstairs if you want to hang out.

The building is quite old and not particularly welcoming nor comfortable. Also not very clean, but it is what you pay for.

The position is great, super central. The room is spacious enough.

Small dark room, loud ventilation outside so couldn’t leave window open, can hear doors banging all night, no lift to go to the 3rd floor
