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.

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!

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!

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.

+ 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

En suite is good if you have booked a 6 room ,I used a 4 bunk this last time and there is no en suite you have to go all the way back to reception to find nearest WC

L’hostal està molt ben ubicat i els serveis son bons. L’esmorzar no es massa complet, pero fa el fet. El preu de l’habitació per una nit va costar més de 80€ per nit, bastant car pels serveis i comoditats d’una habitació compartida.
