Close to Killarney town, only a walk away to everything, friendly staff. Was looking for some nice areas to see in Killarney and the receptionist was more than helpful and recommended to go to Muckross House and the lakes. We had a great day, thanks. All in all a good experience at the hostel. Will be back.

I stayed in a double room with my boyfriend and we arrived after travelling through rain and wind. When we walked into our room we were hoping to warm up after having such bad weather all day, but we noticed how cold it was and the heater could not be adjusted to a warmer temperature so we froze all night....

I visited Killarney for a week near the end of March, and found the Railway Hostel to be the best deal in town. It's conveniently located across from the train station and bus station. The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Their advice to hire a guide to climb Mt. Carrauntoohil ended up being one of my best experiences during... More

A group of friends stayed for 3 nights at the Railway. There was no hot water for an entire day throughout the entire hostel as my friends & I all experienced this, therefore the group of us had to walk through Killarney town to shower at a Leisure Centre, & pay 8 euro to do so. Also I paid the... More

I have stayed in this hostel twice now, both times in the 10 bed dorm. The beds are comfy and the sheets were all clean. The toilets were very clean as were the showers. The hostel is really well situated, 1 min walk from the train station and 1 min walk from the town! The kitchen was a bit industrial... More
