    It was clean, quiet, had pretty much everything you’d need. Breakfast options and towel rental and essential such as toothpaste etc were available and really cheap. Staff were brilliant. As a solo female traveler in a mixed dorm I felt safe which is such a relief. I booked on short notice due to a family emergency in cork and was so relieved it was as nice as it was.

    I had a large, generously warm, and clean room. Additionally, the comfy bed, tea/coffee in the room, and included breakfast were advantages. The staff was friendly, polite, and helpful. The accommodation is within walking distance of UCC. It was quiet, which is really important to me. Despite being an old guest house, you will have whatever you need. I stayed for 2 nights, and I was happy.
