Comments: We loved our stay at Bru. It had a great location and the staff was really friendly. They even openned up breakfast for us early one morning when we had to leave before it began. The only thing was the mold on the walls which was kind of gross. Overall tbough we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it to others.

Comments: El problema es poder aparcar. En la pagina web pone Parking, pero no se puede aparcar si no pagas. Creo que en la pagina tendria que poner que no hay sitio para aparcar si no pagas.

Comments: Great hostel. Location is hard to beat (as close as you can get to both train and bus stations) and bar and common areas are both fun. Nice big kitchen and clean rooms. Only problems for me were that the cages under the bunks didn't lock and the bathroom, although clean, was not the best, no temp control on shower and very, very loud toilet in our room. But otherwise would highly recommend.

Comments: Great place to stay. Rooms pretty small. No security out of rooms as far as i could tell. But no problems with it. Left my bag out for a while in pub and no problems. Bathrooms attached to room. Big common room. Couldn't hear pub downstairs at all. would stay there again for sure.

Comments: Nice and clean and it's good to have places with female dorms! Helpful staff, breakfast could be better though if it was supervised a little, people just leave there dishes everywhere so if you eat at any time past 8.30am you have to wash someone elses dishes before you have breaky. Otherwise well worth the stay:) Cork itself only needs two nights for travellers though!!

Comments: I wish I had been told that I was the only girl booked for the mixed room, I felt quite strange. I'm not even sure the guys knew I was there, but it felt weird with them just changing there (At least they kept boxres on!)

Comments: Great hostel overall! Friendly and helpful staff, spacious common room, good breakfast and kitchen, and fun bar. The only thing I didn't like was that the room was too small for 6 people.
