Comments: Good central location and warm atmosphere when arrived. The only slight down-side was the size of the 3 bedroom dorm that we stayed in, in was quite cramped.

Comments: Pay attention, there's juste one coverage and a pillow, not really clean, and no sheet. Bring your own sleeping.

Comments: We were able to find a parking spot right in front (by luck). At the bar a few blocks away that we went to we were able to find someone's WiFi, but there is a cheap internet cafe nearby. Very clean. The woman running the place was really nice and was waiting for us on our arrival since we were checking in near the end of the evening.

Comments: Thanks a lot Tracy, everything was fine. Your hostel was the best one in Ireland so far. The quotient between the price and the room was very good. Please note that i couldn't rate fun properly (so please dismiss it). We've just slept at your place. greetings from Mainz Daniel

Comments: The directopns I received with my confirmation email were very ambiguous. They said to cross the bridge from the bus station and turn right. The bus station in Cork is on an island so there are bridges in both directions. If you cross the wrong bridge and turn right you end up walking very far and getting very grumpy. When I mentioned this to the girl who signed me in she was completely disinterested.

Comments: The staff was awesome, inviting and extremely helpful and the house had great character (especially after staying in another sub-par hostel near by)! We had a great time and recommend it to anyone looking for a non-stress stay.

Comments: I just had a wonderful stay at Aaron House Tourist Hostel, it is very close to centre of Cork. The taxi ride, which I used at night, was only about 6 o 7 Euro. I enjoyed the great ambience, which I found to be there with all the other travellers. The owner is very helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend this hostel.

Comments: Chose the Hostel based on reviews on trip advisor and was not disappointed at all. Great location, clean, everything you could need and a really nice relaxed content atmosphere. Any questions that I had regarding travel etc, the host Tracy was more than happy to help with and it was a great experience that I would happily do again.

Comments: I'm allergic to dust and I felt symptoms when I had gotten into bed to sleep. Other than that Aaran is a great place and Tracy, who was managing it during my stay, was exceptionally helpful and nice.
