I couldn’t be more satisfied with my stay. Sean went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The facilities were immaculate, comfortable, and exactly as described. I would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Cork.

Staff were really lovely and super helpful! Laundry service was brilliant (they also took our washing after cut-off one day, much appreciated!) Loved the vibe, great posters in the stairwell and lots of inspo on the notice board. They even have a spotify play list! We didn't get to use the sauna or cinema room.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location …. More rooms above a bar than a typical hostel vibe

As soon as we arrived, everything was as it should be. Friendly staff, great location. Support already answered all my questions beforehand, as we had to make a few changes to the reservation. The breakfast was worth the price. The bar of the hostel itself should be praised the most. Every evening something happened, we met new people. We will be back!!
