Kinlay House Hostel Cork

The private twin room was spacious and had nice shelf space. It also had a sink and table space around it. Plenty of sockets in the room. The whole place was clean and the toilets/showers were never too busy. Heating was good in the room, this was a windy, cold winter night. Staff at the desk were nice and helpful.

I felt the price was fairly much for a non-ensuite twin room in a hostel. Our trip consisted of 3 other cities and we stayed in one guest house where two nights were the same price and a single night here, and in a hotel where a single night was cheaper than this hostel. Seems Cork is a pricey place! We arrived to breakfast 15 min before the breakfast time was finishing, and were done grabbing tea/toast by the time the breakfast time was over. However we were fairly rudely ushered out of the kitchen by the staff who began cleaning and emptied the whole kitchen and dining area on the dot. Not sure how giving everyone 5 minutes to finish their food would've affected the overall cleaning process.

Very close to the town, quiet, nice staff

Unfortunately some noisy neighbors

Very friendly and helpful staff!

The shower was very warm... helpful after a longday!

Do not have toilet in the room

It was good hostel accommodation but up Shandon Hill 10 mins to town but hill made it feel like further
