Die Bar im Hostel. Stabiles WLAN.
Schimmel im Bad, keine Ablagen, Gitter vor den Fenstern, schlecht riechendes Treppenhaus. „Frühstück light“ trifft es ganz gut.

There was an included breakfast with the stay. It was a simple breakfast with toast and cereal. Also it was a short walk from the hostel to the city centre
The room didn't feel hygienic at all. Sometimes, there were darker spots on the wall, probably mold, and they painted over it. The beds were super hard, and you couldn't sit comfortably on the bunkbed because the upper bed was super close to it. The bathroom didn't feel clean as well. There was mold in the shower and the shower took a long time to warm up. I would not recommend it.

Often compared to Sheila's (by other hostel-goers as well as locals) - worth the slight hike in price, it seems, because Bru is known to be very clean; and, relative to Sheila's, I appreciate the smaller bunk numbers (eg 4-bunk dorms being available). Bru's has *the* best location in Cork. If you tell locals where it is, they'll say you're in the best place for a visit - walking distance to countless bars, pubs, and diners. The connected bar downstairs is something like 70% locals and 30% tourists, which is amazing since it's oftentimes difficult to meet locals in hostels.
One of the most expensive hostels I've stayed in over a few months in Europe. I guess that's just the real exposure to Irish issues/the housing crisis...!

The bar situated below the hostel was not bad, they were advertising the football on a screen but not actually showing the match which i found odd.. Said no when i asked. But a good enough selection of drinks.
The check in was rushed, not much conversation. I entered my room and the bed below mine was absolutely covered in food and rubbish. The floor was caked in rubbish. The gent next to him was snoring as loud as anything, I had a laptop etc with me and only had a cage under the bed to keep it in. Unfortunately do to this I did not stay the night and booked a hotel next door.

Great location, very close to the city
Breakfast was simple but nice
Very clean rooms and facilities
My bunk was positioned quite close to the door into the bathroom, thankfully no one used it while I was asleep but it could have been a problem

Todo perfecto, superó con creces mis expectativas, la habitación muy amplia para ser 2 literas y muy silencioso. Es verdad que estaba en la ultima planta. El desayuno más que correcto para ser un hostel. Repetiría.
Se echa en falta un ascensor o montacargas para las maletas.

Requires little updating as with rest Europe standards but it's clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. Cleaning lady was excellent at her job, needs promotion! Don't know her just saying! Perfect location. Loved sitting outside area and music in evenings even though I was relaxing in bed. All in all definitely promote it to friends. Janette
Old decor.

the central location was the best part about this hostel. It was within a stone's throw from the city center, and there were plenty of places to eat and drink on the same street. Staff were very friendly and made me feel welcome.
The continental breakfast in the morning could offer more than just bread and cereal and coffee.
