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. There were no serious problems with the hostel, but I would like to make the following observations. 1) The room was quite small for... more

This hostel seemed more like a halfway house to me. There were probably about 10 people staying there in the winter when we stayed there and of those people, there were 3 really creepy old men who seemed to have mental problems, a teenager who got kicked out of his house and his parents dropped him off, some hippies, and... more

Railway Hostel is a 3-minute walk from the bus station, located right next to a lovely church, and a 5-minute walk to the city centre. We spent three nights there, and we could not rave enough about the staff. They were incredibly accommodating, and I am sorry I have forgotten their names, as they were wonderful. They helped us in... more

We stayed in a double room with ensuite (50 euros). Note that the themed rooms are not actually themed inside - they're just titled eg. The Chimp Room.

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

The room we stayed in looked to be very new with a very nice bathroom attached. The cost for the room was the most reasonable we had on our trip and I was impressed by the cleanliness of the double room - its quality was better than what one would normally expect from a hostel. more
