Great value for money, fantastic location near transport and nightlife, and a convenient light breakfast included. The rooms, although small, were clean and cozy, with good heating and a window. The bar staff were mostly helpful and kind, and the option to lock luggage downstairs for a small fee was a game changer. The facilities, including free Wi-Fi, shared kitchen, and board games, were top-notch. a superb stay with all the necessary amenities for a young-adult traveler.

I had a wonderful stay at Bru Bar in Cork. As a senior citizen traveling alone, I was lucky to find a centrally located hostel with friendly staff. The bed was comfortable, and the hostel had a well-equipped kitchen and a lounge area with games and books. The breakfast included tea, coffee, cereal, and toast with a selection of jams. The hostel is situated on a bustling street with plenty of eateries, and it is conveniently located near the bus and train station.
Couldn't recommend this hostel more.

Loved the lively atmosphere with evening entertainment that I could enjoy right from the comfort of my bed. The terrace and shared lounge were perfect for socializing. And let's not forget the bar, a great place to grab a drink!
The decor was so old, it felt like I was staying in a vintage museum.

The location of Bru Bar is perfect, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The breakfast provided is a nice touch, and the staff at the hostel are friendly. We had a small but clean room, and the mattress was surprisingly comfortable. Despite some noise from other guests, overall we had a great stay.

Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. the hostel's staff were welcoming and always ready to assist. the beds were comfortable, giving a good night's sleep. the kitchen was fully equipped, making it convenient for guests to cook their own meals. the location of the hostel was perfect, situated in a busy area with plenty of nearby eateries and close to transportation hubs.
Basic beds and a slight mix-up during check-out. the beds were quite simplistic, lacking any extra comfort features.

The location of the hotel is great, with easy access to bus and train stations, as well as plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The room, although small, was clean and comfortable, and the included breakfast was a convenient perk. The staff were friendly and the cleaning lady did an excellent job. it provided good value for money.
Some other guests were inconsiderate and noisy, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

brubr exceeded my expectations during this resting and relaxing. the location was perfect, and the bar was really nice. cleanliness was top-notch, and it was a good value for the price. the nearby bbq restaurant, white rabbit, had amazing food.
One thing was off - shower temperature was fixed and water was too hot.

The bed was super comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking meals. The lounge area with the TV, games, and books was a great place to relax and meet other guests. Plus, the bar downstairs had live music and also served breakfast in the mornings. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city with plenty of great restaurants nearby. it was a cozy and enjoyable stay with great amenities and a fantastic atmosphere.

For the price we paid, the value we got was excellent. The rooms were small but cozy, with good heating and a window for fresh air. The location was perfect, very central, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Special shoutout to Jack who was helpful at check-in. The bar was cool and had a great atmosphere, although I would have loved to see a local band or musician performing there. I would definitely recommend it to friends.
The breakfast could be improved by providing towels in the bedrooms rather than having to hire them.
