    The hostel is situated in a beautiful, well-moderised old mansion. Dorms and common rooms are very comfortable. The house is located in a picturesque setting in the green a short distance outside the city of Killarney (I only checked "good" for location, because without the car we had at our disposition during our stay I wonder how fast it would have been to get to the city and back). Staff is perfectly friendly and helpful. My friend and me very much enjoyed our stay there!

    Let guests pay more for optional breakfast and serve a complete breakfast instead of toast, jam and coffe/tea.
