Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 30th November 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: I lined up for Breakfast to get some toasts. It was 9:15. After 15 min queuing, it was 9:30 and the staff told me, sorry you are too late...there is no breakfast anymore. I did not get breakfast. Suggestions: more trays, more toasters, more flexibility Cheers, Jerome

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 15th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: The showers were really cold, it took a while to warm up - just keep trying. Very clean, just a little old and worn down (the beds, inside of the showers, etc). On a hill, so hiking with bags to the hostel was a little hard... but without bags its a 3 minute walk down to the center of town.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 23rd November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Terrible night\'s sleep- common area was very loud late into the night, and room got very hot and stuffy. \"Breakfast\" is toast and tea. Location is all right, a little out of the way but not awful. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was friendly and relatively helpful. Price was right for what we got.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 16th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: very good location- close walk to main city center/shopping area. right next to bus stops for local buses and the airport shuttle. staff was very helpful

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 14th November 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: ok hostel, no real quarms, only the night reception guy is very unpleasant and kicked us out of common areas well before the displayed closing time. Disregarding staff i would recommend this hostel

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 15th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: My biggest complaint was the staff, who were pretty disengaged from the guests and seemed like we were interrupting their very busy schedule of sitting there whenever we asked about anything. the rest was great. Really comfortable beds, nice bathroom and a quiet but central location for exploring the main streets. If driving, ask where you can park without getting a clamp.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 9th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Pretty good location but the showers were not working properly or the doors were broken. internet was a rip off being €4 per hour. and the beds felt as though you could fall through them at any moment, although i did meet some great people here so it is ok but not the greatest for its price!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 7th November 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Beds in my room were terrible, put matress on floor last night, the staff are friendly and helpful but heating is turned off during the day and kitchen is falling apart.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 9th November 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: There was mold on the walls, and the bathroom left much to be desired. But the beds were clean and it has a great location. So if you want a cheap place to stay, this is it. But realize that you get what you pay for.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 9th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: nice place, location was great to walk into the center. staff was always helpful.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 9th November 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: The hostel was recommended by our two guides. One (published in 2003) praised the cleanliness of the hostel. Probably a lot has changed since 5 years because we were really suprised and disappointed by the cleanliness of the rooms, and above all of the bathrooms. The basic level of hygiene was not fulfill. The beds were in a very bad condition, we even wondered if the sheets were clean! We never got pillowcases and slept without pillows. The bathrooms were worse...The showers couldn't be closed. Inside, nothing to hang our stuffs, the floor was really dirty, the shower curtain was broken, the temperature of the water couldn't be changed. The breakfast was as little as possible and can really be improved. To resume, sad and disappointing experience, we do not and will not advise this hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 27th October 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: The bathrooms were very old, there weren't anyplace where let things when you were having a shower. In male showers weren't doors. There weren't coffe or tea during the day.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 4th May 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Very old hostel situated in a not-so-easy-to-find point on the hill. Not overly convenient for drivers. Decor was very outdated. Showers and toilets were clean, and the staff were helpful when we needed extra blankets / pillows etc but otherwise would choose to stay somewhere else next time.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 18th October 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 2/5 Comments: too much noise. The showers don't respect intimity. Uncomfortable mattress

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 19th October 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: Cheap hostel close to the city centre.A pity brekfast is only served till 9.30 and kitchen is closed after 10 pm so you cannot fix yourself something once you came back from the city night out.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 19th October 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Fairly average hostel - nothing works!! The lights are broken (showers in the dark), and the power outlets don't work. Breakfast is supplied (toast, jam and tea) which is good. The walls are paper thin, so wear earplugs or you won't sleep!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 18th October 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: Very good hostel, great location. Perfect for a weekend in Cork. Free breakfast is just bread and tea.
