Sheila's Hostel

"Ive stayed here many a time before and have always had a great experience. Staff are so friendly and willing to help anytime, booking was so easy. The beds are comfortable and the place is kept clean. They have a lovely outside area with a shelter and benches. Never had a problem with this place, and really not expensive but such a comfy place to stay."

"The room I was in was small and only had a skylight that couldn't be opened making the room hot and stuffy. (No chance to switch rooms as it was fully booked) Bathroom was dirty as people had come back from partying late at night. Breakfast was just toast and cereal for €4. Lots of space to seat and eat meals, plus a big kitchen. The location was great, close to the bus station and down town Cork. The staff was friendly and very helpful."

"Giving one Star to write this but I would give it no Stars if I could. This was a horrible experience. Stayed here to be able to get to work easy the next day as my car was being repaired. The rooms are NOT 161ft² and crammed full of beds. I was in a 6 bed room where you could barely move if more than one person was standing up. No one had any respect for the fact people wanted to sleep. Doors opening and closing and people shouting etc. until 3am and then started up again at 5am. Room was boiling hot. No lockers or storage in the room. Nowhere to place your clothes etc. in the shower to keep them dry. Everything was dirty and stank. You have to pay extra for a locker to keep your things safe. I would not recommend anyone stay here. Avoid if you can."

"Stayed for 2 nights in a private dorm with en suite with my friend. All the staff were lovely, helpful and friendly and it's in a fantastic location. Room was clean & had towels, plenty plug sockets, was able to borrow a hairdryer from reception. Noise does travel through the corridors and walls are quite thin but can't really fault it for the price. Thank you very much & would recommend!"

"Very simple hostel. Most of the place is clean but the bathrooms and showers have seen better days. Renting a locker is cheap and easy, front counter staff was super friendly and helpful, good security measures, lively atmosphere, great kitchen, multiple hangout areas, enough bathrooms (compared to my last few hostels), and pretty decent for the price."
