Buona posizione
Letto scomodo Doccia con bottone a pressione e dopo un po' usciva l acqua bollente No prese in bagno e stanze minuscole quindi se dovevo asciugare i capelli infastidivo tutte le altre persone Poco spazio per fare uscire i cassettoni sotto il letto Per prendere il mio zaino nel cassettone la mattina presto avevo il mio sedere in faccia alla compagna di stanza che dormiva
The breakfast was ok . Bed not comfortable
Bed. No vending machine
Comodidad del colchón Ubicación Desayuno sencillo y aceptable Cocina pulcra.
Ducha fija e incomoda. Precio de hotel. Habitación angosta y ruidosa. Hotel bastante decadente.
ubicación con relación a estaciones de tren y bus. buenos colchones.
habitaciones demasiado angostas, aunque es cómodo en general. precio elevado
Het ontbijt was karig brood en jam !ontbijt

The location is five minute walk to Cork bus station and 10 min to Cork train station.
There was no lift.
L'emplacement.
it was good
the room/ it was very old.
The hostel is very clean—the bed, the room, and the bathroom were all spotless. The location is excellent. The staff are attentive. The bed is comfortable. From the room, you can't hear any noise coming from the bar. Breakfast is included in the price; it’s simple, but better than I expected for the cost of the stay. I thought it was excellent. I will definitely return.
The staff were lovely, comfortable clean room, beds, bathroom and for that money!!!
I liked everything
El personal del bar era muy amable
La habitación era muy pequeña, si tienes equipaje ya no puedes moverte ni tienes sitio para guardar cosas. El colchón bastante incomodo. La cantidad de ruido que hay por la noche es excesiva.
街の中心にあるのでとても便利でした! 長距離バスのバス停も、電車の駅も近いです。 ブラーニー城はバスで、cobhの街へも最寄り駅から簡単に行けます。 スタッフもフレンドリーでした!
ベットが低すぎます。座れないのが残念。 あと2階だったので1階のパブの演奏の振動まで大音量で響きます。 そして朝はバスやトラックの走る音が物凄くうるさいです。 (パブの生演奏の雰囲気は味わえるかも…) 夜も朝もよく寝られませんでした。 でも立地は最高です。
The room was fine and everything was clean. Staff were super kind and friendly and location was great.
Soooo hot when I stayed, no aircon or any air flow to be honest. The showers were those annoying push for water instead of proper taps so there was no temperature control or anything.
Bar im Hostel
Ziemlich alte Ausstattung
Tutto benissimo, colazione minimal ma completa. L aspetto migliore è il pub al piano terra
posizione strategica, staff friendly, lenzuola, bagno e materassi puliti
stanza claustrofobica ( opps, più che stanza direi ex sgabuzzino delle scope di 12 metri quadri per 2 persone) al primo piano fronte strada interna con auto e bidoni immondizia parcheggiati a pochi centimetri dalla finestra ( sul cui davanzale interno c' era cadavere di un ragno). Letto a castello stile Alcatraz con scaletta di ferro pericolosissima con numeri da acrobata per salire e scendere a rischio rotule e piante dei piedi
Personale gentile e disponibile. Bar aperto al piano terra. Posizione ottima. Buona anche la colazione. Possibilità di lasciare bagagli in locker a pagamento (solo monete).
Camera poco funzionale, manca una piccola mensola accanto alla presa di ricarica per appoggiare il cellulare. Il wc aveva lo scarico che non funzionava bene. Doccia senza possibilità di regolare la temperatura.

Location
I was extremely disappointed with my stay and would not recommend this hostel, especially if you are considering paying extra for a private room. The room was very small and dark. the only window opened directly next to large ventilation/extraction equipment outside the building. The equipment produced a constant loud humming noise from early morning till 23:00, making it very difficult to keep the window open. Unfortunately, the noise was not limited to outside. The sound insulation between the rooms was extremely poor. I could clearly hear conversations, people moving things around and other noise from neighbouring rooms. Between the mechanical noise outside and the noise through the walls, it was very difficult to get any peace or proper rest. The room was also poorly equipped. The USB charging point did not work. I booked a private room with a private external bathroom. While I understand that the bathroom was clearly advertised as external, in practice it was very inconvenient. The bathroom required a separate key, while the bedroom door locked automatically, so even a quick trip to the bathroom meant having to take two keys with me. Another major downside was that access to the hostel was through a busy pub, which was often crowded and noisy. I also found the staff rather unfriendly and not particularly customer-oriented. Overall, I was very unhappy with the stay. Considering the amount I paid (over 200 euro for two nights), the private room was absolutely not worth the money.
The location is good.
It's not convenient to have access to only one bathroom where everything is in it (toilet, shower, sink). Adding one toilet/sink somewhere would be better. Also, the bathroom was quite humid. The breakfast was a bit too simple. The common room was very sad-looking. I was in a bottom bed, and I couldn't even sit on my bed as the top bed was very low. Please add a small tablet for everybed, near the plug and the lamp (to put my phone/glasses...). Curtains on the bed would be nice too.
Location and the bed and pillow very comfortable and staff were very helpful
Towel and lock not included = additional cost
Location and some staff.
Ambiente molto carino, pulito, personale gentile e accogliente. Pub molto bello con intrattenimento serale. Lo consiglio vivamente 😀 Dormitorio misto, stanza con 4 letti e bagno privato 😊
Good location, friendly staff, close to parking garages and sightseeing spots as well as restaurants. Simple but enough breakfast.
Rooms a bit small, very hot and humid, the bathrooms accumulate humidity when you shower.
L'ostello è tenuto bene anche se comunque per certi versi un po' datato. La presenza del bar con anche musica dal vivo la ritengo una gran comodità per chi non ha voglia di spostarsi la sera. Gli spazi comuni sono puliti e anche ampi, soprattutto la cucina. I letti sono comodi. Posizione ottima per il centro città e per i mezzi pubblici (stazione dei pullman e dei treni a 5 minuti)
Unica pecca era la stanza un po' stretta che non permetteva di muoversi al meglio soprattutto quando bisognava fare/disfare lo zaino però ci si adatta facilmente.
Buena ubicación, la habitación es pequeña pero es cómoda para una estancia de paso
Está arriba de un bar ahí que hay mucho ruido en la noche y madrugada
La ubicación, alguien siempre atento en recepción.
El ruido en la noche en la calle
Posizione centrale, staff gentilissimo e disponibile. Colazione adeguata.
Camera rumorosa, avevamo di fronte una cappa forse di un condizionatore. Solo dopo le 23 si spegnevano. Si sentivano rumori e voci che arrivavano dalle altre stanze.
Good frendly place
All ok had a little trouble finding my room number because you had to go though the tv and kitchen door before you could see your door number so maybe put the numbers on the door also
Goede locatie en vriendelijk personeel. Prima kamers, in verhouding tot de prijs.
Bedden waren erg hard en het was niet mega schoon.
Falta de espacio, tipo salón, para relajarse o hablar. La cocina faltaba aireación, olía muy mal
Keine vegane Milch für den Kaffe (hatten auch veganer Angekündigt, da kam schon die Antwort wenn man was veganes frühstücken möchte soll man sich selbst was mitbringen -vegane Milchalternative gab es sonst überall in Irland) Es gab nur Instant Kaffee.
Está bien calidad precio
Habitaciones privadas algo estrechas y con olor a tabaco
La ubicación y el precio.
Para el precio que tiene está bien.
Personnel sympa et efficace. Le pub est toujours très vivant, et l’on a régulièrement des groupes de musique. Petit déjeuner très correct vu le prix de la nuit.
Il faut aimer dormir en dortoir. La proximité de la route peut rendre certaines chambres bruyantes. Prévoir un cadenas pour éviter le locker très cher.
Molto buona la posizione e nella birreria una c'è una bella atmosfera, c'era un musicista che suonava la chitarra. Bere una buona Guinnes ascoltando del blues è molto piacevole. Però l'ostello è costoso, soprattutto perché in camera avevo uno che russava e non ho chiuso occhio

Emplacement et pub au top
Lit un peu spartiate
Well located, all in place
Rooms too packed, charges for everything (towels, lockers, padlocks, etc)
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They were happy to help us with anything. It’s a great bar and venue as well as a hostel with bands playing during the weekend. The breakfast was really good as well. The kitchen and living area was well set out and clean. Bar interior very nice.
The hostel room could have done with some minor maintenance/refurb (door handles loose in bathroom and minor wear and tear) but this didn’t affect the stay or comfort.
Value for money
No lift and towels not included
Posizione, gentilezza dello staf e una discreta colazione. Particolare per essere un ostello sopra e un pub con ottima musica e birra al piano terra
Da migliorare la pulizia delle stanze e delle aree comuni (cucina). Moquette scale datata e anche le coperte sembrano vecchie. Qualche miglioria lo renderebbe, specjale
Good location and nice to have the pub in the same building. Confortable beds.
Very very por breakfast. There are lockers to leave the luggage but not enough.
location was really good, I was there for a concert at the City Hall so very close, I felt safe, as it was on a busy street and had a nice bar downstairs, I stayed in a 4 bed dorm, and even though it was on a busy well lit street, I still managed to sleep really well (It wasn't too nosey at all)
Nothing all good and would definitely stay again
Great location, good value, room was dated but clean.
Check in was a bit slow and is in the bar.
La zona. Cork me ha parecido precioso y la gente muy amable.
Great location. So close to the bus stop to head to Dublin, acceptable easy self service breakfast to get going on your trip. Shared kitchen facilities. Clean Storage boxes in the bedrooms Self service storage lockers- not many large ones though.
The woman who was checking in was very abrupt. A staff member was simply explaining the check in wasn't for another half an hour but before she could finish another Irish woman was already on top of her - lacked all the patience in the world! Tiny rooms! Lots of stairs to reach bedrooms
La ubicación es perfecta, la cocina del establecimiento estaba muy bien, y la gente muy amable. Además, había mucho ambiente en el pub
La habitación era muy pequeña, así como el cuarto de baño
Great location. Friendly staff. Room & bathroom clean.
Noisy outside at night as room faced onto busy road.
Місце розташування, ціна
Це фактично місце для нічліга на 1 ніч, більше там не зручно, в кімнаті немає нічого ні площі ні умов щоб працювати чи відпочивати
Ótima localização, perto da estação de trem dos ônibus para ir a outras cidades , perto do centro centros comerciais, o atendimento é ambiente super agradável já me hospedei 4 vezes e voltarei
Gostei de tudo
La salle télé est très confortable et accueillante
La salle de bain était un peu petite mais convenable
Good
All good
The enviroment is a good axcess to many facilities
Bon emplacement pour visiter la ville. Bonne ambiance dans le pub où il y avait de la musique live. A minuit tout est calme ce qui permet de profiter de l'ambiance et de pouvoir dormir. Petit déjeuner simple mais ok. Excellent service client, professionnel et rapide. Accueil parfait.
Chambre un peu petite, mais style auberge de jeunesse. Mériterait une rénovation.
The price is a bit high for a hostel, but the staff were very kind: my flight was cancelled at the last minute and I needed a place to stay for the night.Everything was booked on Booking.com, and the guys found me a place to stay. They helped me in my time of need while I was in a strange city 2,362 km from home!
