Killarney International Hostel

From the very beginning, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Whatever we asked for, they did everything to help us. The building seems kind of maze-y like an old mansion or a mini-Hogwarts, but it's easy to find your way around. The room was clean and simple. There is a big kitchen everyone can use, with all the necessary cooking utensils, a boiler for hot water and free tea bags, coffee and sugar. There are also nicely decorated common rooms with books, sofas, board games, and TV. Toilets and showers are shared, but there were plenty of them on our floor and we didn't need to walk to them at all. In some showers you can't adjust the temperature, but they were still warm. The blankets were thick, warm and cosy. The only complaint is that they don't give you duvet covers, only a pillowcase and two bed sheets. The wi-fi works only on the ground floor, but sometimes you can see it upstairs as well. A taxi to the hostel was 13 euros. There is also a bus stop really close to the hostel that goes to the city centre, 2.70 euros each way. Most of the time we just walked there though, it's like 5-6 km and there's a pedestrian walkway all along the way. Overall, if you're not picky and don't expect much more than a place to sleep, then this is a great choice. We loved the place.
