Everything was great. I felt really safe, the woman’s bathrooms were always clean and spacious, and The beds were nice. The location was also perfect. Close to popular areas and the bus/train stations. Only thing is the atmosphere felt more like a hotel. A bit harder to meet travellers in the common room.

Amazing hostel! Staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Beds were nice and comfortable, there are privacy curtains and two plugs and a light at every bed plus lockers to store your luggage. Bathroom’s were also nice and clean.

Todo de 10. No hay ninguna queja. Literas cómodas, habitación nueva. Detalles como fruta o té todo el día marcan la diferencia. Luggage Room y uso de las zonas comunes después del checkout. Han hecho mi estancia perfecta. Gracias.

One of the best city hostels I’ve ever stayed at! Extremely clean, friendly staff, good facilities (free breakfast, tea/coffee/fruit whenever you want) and comfy beds. Understandable how they won lots of awards.

Couldn't really ask for anything more, deserves the positive praise it gets. Good breakfast options and solid Wi-Fi even in the rooms. Very handy having tours that depart from the hostel and the staff offer good recommendations. Bathrooms/showers are also very well maintained.

Kinlay Hostel was excellent - I felt very safe, everything was very clean, and breakfast/towels were included in your fee. Everybody was lovely - I wish I had planned a longer stay!

The property is in an amazing location to enjoy the area. It gets a bit crazy around meal times with all the people trying to cook meals, I didn’t do that because there were plenty of places around there to eat. The beds were comfortable, belongings safe. The bathrooms were ok, showers never really got beyond luke warm and didn’t have much in the way of being able to hang clothing. I’d be happy to stay here again!

staff was super friendly, breakfast was really top notch (cereals, porridge, jams, scones, soda bread, cheese) and the location was very central. I was in a 6 persons mixed dorm and felt very safe. The bathroom was clean at all times and for a hostel this size I was amazed at how quiet it was even when there was live music in the common area one evening - nothing to be heard in my room apart from the seagulls outside. Can only recommend, I stayed for 4 nights and would definitely book again!

+ Comfortabke beds, privacy screens and free coffee. Good cooking facilites

- Its very expensive for a bed in a shared dorm, particularly when there is less demand and rooms are empty, i would stay more often if it costed 50 euro a night. The bathroom facilities are celan but for the amout of people theres not very much bathroom stalls or a urinal so you can be left waiting for 10-30 monutes in the morning to relieve yourself. Any towels or other thibgs cost extra, which one woulld expect from a place with a cheap bed but bir such and expensive place
