The kitchen was quite dirty and equipment are old The mattress wasn't really comfy, my back was quite painful the next morning

Nice place, close to the centre, really nice staff

A little crowded

There seem to have been music playing all night long.... The common toilets were so dirty.... blood stains on the floor and seat... really gross. the room was very narrow and when I climbed on the top bunk it made the whole bed wobble. And I was a little too hot, but that's cos I live in an igloo (badly insulated stone cottage in the West..)

Loved the location, everyone was super friendly, loved that the room was dark at night, the mattress was comfy.

Extremely thin walls. Could hear the people in the next room snoring. But not much they can do about that

The staff were great and this hostel is much cleaner than some of the other ones I’ve stayed in while in Ireland

The place was well equipped for what was offered in the price. The receptionist (didn’t see his name) was professional and friendly, who checked me in and out of the hotel. The rooms and bathrooms were neat and tidy, and the place appears well facilitated, though did not get the chance to use them. Bed was surprisingly comfortable and slept through! Breakfast, which I believe starts from 8 am, although there is a self-service kitchen if one wishes to make breakfast earlier. There are seated rooms with tables and charging outlets. When back in Cork I’ll definitely consider staying here again to get the full experience.

A bit pricey for a hostel, but I guess this is the reality in Ireland now. I missed more lockers in the room, too. There were 2 lockers for 4 beds, so I had to rent a paid locker to leave my bag during the day.

Great location, friendly staff, the room and common areas were very clean.

Great location and the staff were really friendly. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm and slept pretty well as the bed/duvet/pillow were surprisingly comfortable 😁 didn't have a chance to use any of the facilities as I literally only slept there and left first thing, but the bathroom and bedrooms were very clean and it's a beautiful building. Would definitely stay again to get the full hostel experience

It was very noisy at times during the night- guests making lots of noise in the corridors. Staff were very helpful with this. Cold showers.

A good location. Parking available. Common areas to enjoy. Friendly and helpful staff. Shop at reception.

Room could have bit more space. There were hardly some free space to move here and there.

Cleanness and Location

Some staff friendly while others made you feel like you were a bother- At Kinlay in Galway ALL staff are like sunshine they are remarkable, so in comparison Sheila’s have training to do.

No drying room to hang wet clothes

It's kept clean

Bathrooms need a renovation. They weren't too clean, I think there was even a mold on the walls around showers. No place to put your stuff in the shower so it doesn't get wet. One shower had no locker so there was basically only 1 shower in the bathroom for both men and women.

Very basic hostel. Nothing too crazy. Good place for a night in Cork. Room was busy but what else do you need besides bed. Common room for everyone on the ground level was a nice place.

It's a hostel so bathrooms vary in state based on users. The breakfast looked v v basic, I'd recommend just grabbing a coffee and croissant from the spar round the corner

Loads of spots to work and a decent sized kitchen. Also fab location.

The things I liked less are just small details, which might be not much important for others. - I didn't have adapter so I tried to use just USB port for charge my phone and I discovered it is no charging actually ( such slow , even after longer time , the percentage of my battery was almost same - another thing is also about plug inn device. For example I didn't want to disturb other girls in my room, by things like drying hair , but there was no possibility to plug inn device on bathroom or some other place. also I think in case of whole floor, there should be little more bathrooms, but in general I will recomand sheilas to others sincerly.

I would like additional possible things that sheilas hostel propose like, breakfast, laundry ( there was many options. Customers sincerly care of comforts for guests and I really apriciate that. Also location was for me perfect and that there was actually no restrictions about time when I should get back

The heater didn’t work so we had to request the staff to fix it during our stay. Sauna was not working to temperature, which would have been great to use during our visit.

Location was great, breakfast was convenient, the room was clean and a good size. Shower and toilet that we paid extra for was good. Staff were helpful and friendly. All round a nice stay. We have stayed here before and will stay again.

Sometimes noisy but it's a hostel after all

We had a private room which was more than decent for the price and for a hostel. Nothing to complain about. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Although I guess you experience really depends on who you'll be sharing a dorm with

The staff were very friendly and helpful! Big Bonus!!
