Have been here a few times, its quite a fine place. Location is perfect, near the bus station and close to the shops. I don't like the kitchen so much, its very small and not everything is working properly. The lounge is very small but cosy and I always meet nice people over here. The dorm has an own toilet... More

Comfortable bed. but the bathroom was not very clean and the decoration a little kitsch and old. My room was just above the Pub and we couldn't sleep with the noise. The breakfast was simple and the kitchen has many elements to cook. I stayed in a 8 rooms and we had just 1 shower and 1 toilet outside for... More

Good price for a twin room with a teeny en-suite plus "breakfast" (just toast and some cereal and coffee/tea, which was fine really). Nice man who checked us in and was there to help. The building is obviously old so parts of it are a little odd, and it does have a slight smell. A towel wasn't provided (this is... More

We were there in August 2011. --------------------------------------- Pros: very good location, nice staff, nice travelers. We were three persons and we booked a 4 beds room. The 4th person was a girl and she spent most of the time reading a book. In the reception area people were smoothly talking and... I personally felt at home. :-) No (heavy) drinking,... More

The Atmosphere in the hostel is great, altough there were some cons to our stay: A lot of noise from the bar next door. Weird smell at the room. If that doesn't matter to you - I recomment this Place.

Recently booked to stay here with 2 other friends. On the day in particular we were participating in a charity cycle from cork to killarney (85K) and then a hike on the same day up carrantoohill (highest mountain in ireland). Due to adverse weather conditions up the mountain we were over 3 hours delayed coming down the mountain. As we... More

We went to the Sugan Hostel recently. We were late; however we received a warm welcome from our host. He advises us some good place where we could drink a good Guiness. We could use the common room: a really nice place, warm and pleasant (with free wifi !). However, I have to notice some inconvenient. First, we went there... More

The Sugan is a great little hostel. Location is perfect, short little walk from the station and you're there. National Park, which is the best thing about Killarney, is also in walking distance, or the hostel do cheap bike rental. I stayed in the 4 bed dorm and it was a bit small, but clean and the beds are comfortable.... More

I actually chose to visit Killarney upon seeing a brochure for the Sugan, and it lived up to expectations. Having coffee and tea available all day, as well as the warm and fragrant turf fire, made the unpredictable Irish weather an asset to the trip--I spent more time in the common areas playing chess or chatting with my fellow hostellers!...
