Only go here when everywhere else is full

It was the only place that had availability when we arrived in Cork. The location is a 15 min walk to the center of town. It was a little hard to find and we walked through some dark empty streets. They charged us 27 EUR for a 16 mixed bunk room! Outrageous. Despite the number, the room was really quite and no disturbances at all (2 girls w/ 14 guys). 2 unisex Toilets and showers down the hall, which were old and not very clean. The shower water was one temperature- scaldingly hot! There was lots of lounge room and computers. The other guests seemed nice. Visible security was a 5 number punch on the door, they wrote the code on a peice of paper when you came in, pretty useless. So yeah, not recommending this place, don't go there unless you have to. It's not a terrible place, it's an overpriced bad place, and you can do better.

Unique Quality: will probably have availability--it's pretty large

Good and cheap place to stay at in Cork

I was in Cork in april 2005 and I stayed ta Kinley House. It's comfortable, price is not too high in the center of the city. The staff is very nice and helpful. I really recomend it to every one looking for hostel in Cork.

Unique Quality: It's build on the Shandon hill so the view of the center from the top floor (that I stayed on) is beautiful! There is internet cafe and kitchen for all.

Hostel in Cork

Well, the hostel itself is fine, there is breakfast in the morning, till 10 I believe, there is a TV room and a kitchen. You can use the internet for a fee there, but its too expensive, on the main road just 200m from the hostel there is a much cheaper place. I found that the hostel was very big and a bit anonymous. But the beds were good....well all that matters, isn't it?

Good hostel

I stayed at this hostel a couple of months ago and had no problems with it. It was clean and roomy and basic, but I those are qualities that I can appreciate. I was afraid that the location would turn out to be too far away from the bus/rail but it wasn’t a problem at all. We took a taxi to the hostel and then had a pleasant walk to the center. They had one of the best features I have ever seen there, too. A taxi phone. You pick up the receiver and it automatically connects you to the taxi company. Ingenious. All in all, I would stay here again.
