  • Great hostel, Tracy was FANTASTIC. Beds were a bit squeaky, but I would definitely recommend it.

  • Not bad. Was hard to find at first but we didn't have a map. It was very cold in the hostel but Tracy the owner kindly gave us extra bedding. Showers were hot and everything worked!

  • Staff was absolutely amazing and so hopeful. She was adorable and friendly and made us feel at home right away. Location was easy to get to but not necessarily the best for exploring Cork. Would stay there again.

  • We got so lucky to find Aaran House Hostel for our short stay in Cork. The woman that owns the hostel, Tracy, was the nicest person you will ever meet and gave us really great recommendations for places to go in the city and surrounding areas. She would even book a tour for us and gave us her honest opinion on which one to go on. The room was great and there's a kitchen to do all your cooking. It's a very home-like feel and made our stay even better. The location could be better but it's not bad

  • Hostel is located in a good place. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly Pani.Pokoje small but cozy. The bathrooms could have been in better condition. Overall, I recommend to all who want to spend a good time in Cork for a low price

  • Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Cork area and local attractions. Very close to train station. Room was nice, bed was comfortable. Not super modern like other places, but cozy and comfortable.

  • I loved this place. It was quiet and felt very safe, which is really important to me as a woman traveling alone...I felt like Tracy was looking out for us:) The communal space was nice and homey and the other people were very respectful and friendly. Tracy is just awesome:) She's extremely helpful and knowlegable about the area and life in general:)
