Union Hall Vacations from ￥225,476

This was my first stay at a hostel but it will almost for sure be my last. My room had four beds (2 bunk beds). When I first walked in at midnight I noticed that it would be impossible to put my suitcase and backpack in the cage under the bed because it was already taken. It was also not possible to turn on the light because there were already three other men sleeping. I had to just put my suitcase and backpack on the table and chair next to the bed since there was no other room and I had to hope and pray that nobody took anything which Thank God they didn’t. There was no toilet paper visible and somebody had used the toilet without flushing it so that was disgusting in the middle of the night. The room was also right above the extremely noisy street even at 2 AM. I barely slept a moment. The breakfast was just toast and cereal flakes. The suitcase lockers were very nice expensive for only six hours. There were no towels in the room. The staff did seem friendly, however.

Great hotel in a great location with helpful friendly staff.

Nice hotel with very attentive staff and good food in dining facilities

I would recommend this place to anyone who goes to Cork. Spacious and quiet. We went with our 15 and 9 years old boys and they didn’t get bored as they had their own beds and plenty of plugs to charge their devices. There’s a telly as well where you can login to your favourite streaming services. Internet is super fast, as you can imagine, that’s another reason why kids were not bored. LOL. The communal kitchen is spacious so if you run into another guest, you won’t have that “awkward moment” where you don’t know where to look at to avoid eye contact. Clean towels, bedding, toilet and kitchen. Minor criticism is that as we were leaving the place, we checked behind the couches just to make sure we were not forgetting anything, we found some rubbish that wasn’t ours and it was old meaning that, that rubbish it’s been there for quite some time so that needs a bit of attention by management and cleaning staff. Don’t worry, you won’t need to bring you “forensic’s equipment” to check the room out! Just something I thought to mention because however small, it is important. If you don’t say anything, it cannot be fixed. The staff was super helpful, one of the nights, I had the keys whilst my husband and kids wanted to go back to the place so they couldn’t get in. My husband contacted the emergency phone number they provided and within FIVE minutes, the manager turned up with a spare set of keys! Over all, super recommend.

Very relaxing night spent here. The spa was great and the rooms were very spacious. Loved the bathtub and the bed was very cosy. The Amber Lounge was delicious too!
