The Black Sheep Hostel

Killarney

Located in Killarney and with St Mary's Cathedral reachable within 300 metres, The Black Sheep Hostel provides concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation offers a tour desk, and luggage storage for guests. The hostel is warm and friendly, with 5 communal areas, including the large kitchen and the garden. There is always a spot to sit in without intruding or being intruded upon. The dorms are excellent. The structure of the bunkbeds with their curtains ensures great privacy. Large lockable cupboard under beds for each occupant. Every bed has its own light, light switch, socket and tiny shelf. The base of the each bed is slightly wider than the mattress, giving you storage space next to the mattress at night. Bathrooms are adequate. Showers are blissfully hot, but ingeniously save on water and heating. Breakfast is taken a step up from basic (cereal, fruit, toast) with the dailly addition of home-made soda bread. If there are any free range eggs from the resident chickens, you can make some for yourself. The kitchen has four gas cooking stations. There are shelves to store labeled food (labels provided), but also, importantly, shelves where you can leave any groceries behind on the FREE shelves. There is always pasta for free, so no-one starves here. Coffee and tea are free too at any time. Free parking is available in the car park next to the nearby cathedral. A coffee bar provides an assortment of hot drinks, which can be bought just outside the front door. The lounge has several nooks as well as books aplenty. In the best backpacker tradition, here you find creativity, open-mindedness, interesting conversation, people from all over the world, recycling and excellent organisation. Highly recommended as one of the best backpackers I have ever stayed in.

The area was beautiful, more remote and surrounded by gorgeous nature. Check in and check out were very smooth, too. Delightful!
