Kilkenny Tourist Hostel Reviews

United Kingdom, August 2023

A Clean and Convenient Stay

We were pleasantly surprised by our stay at this hostel. The cleanliness of the bathrooms stood out - we noticed that the hand towels were replaced daily, which was a nice touch. Despite the rooms being a bit dingy, the hostel made up for it with its excellent location on the main drag. Although it was a 10-minute walk from the bus station, it was easily accessible. The hostel also provided a safe and secure environment, although lockers were not available. we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hostel for a budget-friendly and convenient accommodation option in Kilkenny.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, with surprisingly clean mattresses and pillows. The bath towels provided were fresh and smelled nice. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook meals. the hostel offered a delicious smelling food option for those who didn't want to cook.

The overall cleanliness of the hostel left something to be desired, with noticeable dirt and mold in certain areas.
