Which hostel would you recommend for Cork city?

Question

Travelling with 2 adults and 2 children. Prices? Self-catering facilities?

Answer 1

Isaac's on MacCurtain street is lovely and right in the middle of Cork City (it's also above one of the nicest restaurants in Cork).

Website is http://www.isaacs.ie/hotel_isaacs_cork/i...

Answer 2

The Roachestown Park is a lovely hotel, set in it's own grounds near Douglas on the outskirts of the city. It's a 4* hotel so the accommodation is good and the staff are excellent. There is a reasonable restaurant on site and you can also eat in the bar if you just want a snack.

a bar would be nice for those who like a drink but don't want to venture out in the evening. We had a lovely stay with you and would recommend the hostel to others
