Location
Facilities dirty (kitchen, toilets are nasty, all the time there is a urine smell, showers). The staff is not friendly neither helpful, only 8 parking spots available, make sure you book your spot, we arrived late and we had to pay private parking.
For a night to rest is fine.

Cheap hostel in the heart of Killarney town. Very basic but you get what you pay for.
The bed sheets seem a bit old and there are limited parking spaces available. There were a few groups of men on stag dos making a few inappropriate comments to a group of girls.

Die Lage des Hostels ist recht gut. WLAN ist auch in Ordnung.
Sauberkeit des Zimmers, der Küche und der Toiletten war sehr schlecht. Flecken auf Betlacken, ungewaschenes Besteck und Geschirr, unangenehmer Geruch im Badezimmer und im gesamten Hostel. Am Wochenende kamen nachts die letzten Gäste aus den Pubs in das Hostel um dort ihren Rausch auszuschlafen. Auf den Toiletten hat es durchgehend nach Urin gerochen. Das Besteck und Geschirr mussten vor der Benutzung gründlich gereinigt werden, da noch Essensreste des Vorgängers zu sehen war. Alles in allem nicht zu empfehlen.

The location was good. Checkin was easy. The room was clean.
There were no towels or soap in the room. Had I known this in advance I would have adjusted my expectations. The bed was hard and the pillows were very flat.

Location was good, and I ended up having a room entirely to myself so that was a nice treat
Bathroom was a bit moldy. And the room location did not allow for good fresh air, so I had a hard time speeding with how musty it felt. The small fan was not enough

Considering that I was a disturbed guest, the staff was unbeleivably friendly to me. The Kerry nice little hores.
For two nights there was a strong smell of old urine from the toilet on the first floor, and there was some smell of burned food from the kitchen, reaching the first floor.

Chambre très salle, et bien moisie. Draps sales avec taches blanches. Douche moisie et si l’on enlève le tapis de douche c’est encore pire. Plafond moisi. Robinets cassés et qui fuit. Une catastrophe. On a dû payer l’appoint car leur lecteur carte ne marche pas et ils n’ont pas de change. Nul du début à la fin.

Extrem unfreundliches Personal, das mitten in der Nacht sturzbesoffene Gäste in einen 10 Bett Schlafsaal packt. Nachdem der Betrunkene Gast mehrmals versucht hat, sich in unsere Betten, in denen wir geschlafen haben zu legen habe ich mich an der Rezeption beschwert. Mir wurde mitgeteilt, dass der Gast „normalerweise ganz lieb“ sei und es wurde nichts unternommen.

The location is very good.
Don't check below the beds! You will be afraid of what you will find! Looks like it was never cleaned.
We were in a group of 4 and we asked for towels and we got 2 towels durst!

Central location
Old, rather dirty facilities. old beds and no bed side lamps or electric outlets at the bed. No area for stashing clothes. Also you can hear everything in the building. Only 3 parking lots for the premises, which were always full. Parking almost impossible.

The location was very good
The beds are very uncomfortable, no bedside lights, no plugs, showers were poor, the place is generally dirty. The light didn't work. It beat camping in the rain though and was cheaper than camping. Particularly annoying on the Friday night, night porter ignored insanely high noise levels. Was awake all night and the following day I was quickly dismissed and was told well tonight will probably be worse. It was comical.

It was in a good location and open all night. Not too noisy beyond snorers in the room. Showers and bathrooms were ok and bed not uncomfortable. Front desk staff ok. Much cheaper than only available alternative that weekend.
Overall very rundown and like nothing had been renewed there in a long time. Room was way too warm and smelled bad. I had the skylight open for hours and even bought air freshener for the room but the smell remained. Expectations weren’t high anyway looking at the reviews before booking but there wasn’t much else available in town that weekend.
For the setup that was there, I’d say it was about 30% too expensive. ‘Cleaner’ knocked on door of the room and didn’t say who he was when I opened it (no English beyond ‘yes’) not wearing any sort of uniform or ID and both cleaners I saw were generally a bit rough, swearing in the halls and one was carrying a pint around later. There were also no secure storage facilities available.

The location was perfect!
I wasn’t a big fan of the stained/worn bedding, the rock hard beds, the dirty floors, the moldy blinds, the rude staff, the stained walls, and the massive spider behind the sink.

Felt uncomfortable, shouted at by staff and we shared the 9 person room with people who were permanent resident’s. Not what was advertised don’t stay here

Location was handy
Unfortunately, it was just a disaster. I was out of bed after a few hours of broken sleep as it felt filthy - duvet covers aren't washed,only the sheets, according to a staff member. My pockets were searched while I slept or used the bathroom, and items were taken. Staff didn't have any advice or seem to care. I couldn't even bring myself to use the shower as it felt that unclean.
They were looking for a rat trap during my stay...
I could go on! Put up prices slightly and clean the place, please!
