    The sitting room next to Reception was a cozy spot to relax. the bunk beds in the dorms had comfortable mattresses and their own sink, which was convenient. the staff were helpful and provided a thorough induction. the hostel had a nice vibe and the breakfasts were superb.

    The WiFi was unreliable, often dropping off and difficult to connect to. My room was located next to the bathrooms, which meant I could hear the toilet flushing late at night.

    We had an amazing stay at Black Sheep! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. the rooms were cozy and private, thanks to the curtains around the beds. the staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to help if we needed anything. We particularly loved the delicious breakfast and the kitchen setup. the effort they put into conservation and waste reduction was commendable, with a beautiful garden and chicken coop out back. the quirky bathroom walls with fun quotes added a unique touch. the location was perfect, with everything within walking distance. Cons: Nothing not to love! ❤️.

    I had an amazing experience staying at the Black Sheep Hostel. the breakfast was absolutely delicious, with fresh eggs from their own hens and homemade bread that was baked daily. the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I also loved the fact that the hostel catered to a diverse range of guests, including families and older individuals, which made the experience even more enjoyable. the interiors of the hostel were adorned with amazing art, creating a unique and vibrant ambiance. My bed was cozy, clean, and felt like home. the hostel had a sign at the reception that reminded guests to be responsible for the energy they bring, which added to the positive vibes. I highly recommend the Black Sheep Hostel for its exceptional service and fulfilling the needs of travelers. Cons: Everything was fantastic! 😊.

    The hostel was warm and friendly, with 5 communal areas to relax in. the dorms were excellent, with plenty of privacy thanks to the bunkbed curtains. Each bed had its own light, socket, and tiny shelf, which was convenient. the breakfast was a step up from basic and included homemade soda bread, a nice touch. the free parking nearby was a great perk.

    The double room we stayed in had an uncomfortable mattress with worn-out springs.

    The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made our romantic escape extra special. We loved the bed curtains and individual lights and outlets, providing privacy and convenience. the location was ideal, close to town but without the noise. the garden out back was a lovely spot to relax and the free breakfast was a great way to start the day.

    The quirky shower system, where water would only come out for about a minute at a time. It was also quite hot and couldn't be adjusted, making it uncomfortable at times.

    I had the best sleep at Black Sheep! The beds were so comfortable with curtains, two pillows, and silent bunk beds. And the location is perfect, right in the city center and a short walk to the National Park. The garden and dogs added a lovely touch. I highly recommend this place for a stay in Killarney.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious private room with amazing shower. Homely atmosphere. Convenient location, just a short walk to the main town. Fresh eggs from chickens and hens, and freshly baked bread every morning.

    Wi, Fi didn't work on the top floor. Lack of shelving at the top bunk.

    My recent stay at The Black Sheep Hostel was absolutely fantastic. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the exceptionally friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The communal vibe of the hostel was amazing, with plenty of shared spaces such as the lounge, kitchen, snug, and garden. I particularly loved the cozy fire in the living room, which was perfect after a rainy hike.
