I would not recommend particularly for single girls that this is a good place to stay while in Killarney. On returning to the hostel in the evening, an absolutely bizarre night watchmen followed us to our room and said he was going to wait until we went to sleep and then come in and get us. We were extremely frightened... more

Railway Hostel is a very good choice for people who want to save some money.Accomondation in Killarney is rediculously expensive,and I think even people not used to stay in hostels,will be happy to try this particular hostel. Location is great, rooms and public areas are extremely clean and staff is vey friendly. They are more that willing to help arrange... more

The Railway hostel is situated in a lane off of one of the main streets in Killarney. We opted for a four bed (there were three of us) en suite room and stayed for four nights.

They helped us in... more

Reasonable for the price.... more

This is a friendly, quiet Hostel on a side street off a main street. Right across from an outlet mall, if that sort of thing is important to you. The rooms were clean and neat. The shower had a proper knob instead of the timed push buttons most other Hostels had. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The guests... more

Loved the place. Would go again. Perfect location - right next to a church - the bells were a treat to listen to. Friendly and efficient staff - even late at night they helped us with the check-in and making a phone call. Kitchen was well-kept and provided for. Clean dishtowels and sponges were regularly available. I was disappointed to... more
