Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great place to stay, I was sad to leave. Awesome facilities, nice kitchen and social dinning area. Lovely reading room with a fire and dogs for company. I felt very at home. Great location too. Nice and clean, comfortable beds with curtains for privacy. It was a lovely hostel, I would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the beautiful Killarny.

    Very welcoming and one of the cheapest pints in town. It was also a bit cold but the electric blanket saved the day.

    This has to be one of the most beautiful hostels I've ever seen. The common room feels like a prohibition-era speakeasy, and the dining area is equally charming. Oh, and they have their own chicken coop. I was also pleasantly surprised that the bunk beds have a curtain, which is nice when you feel like taking a nap or reading privately before bed. The staff are so helpful and kind. The Black Sheep Hostel is a must for any solo travelers passing through Killarney.
