The Black Sheep Hostel  

In the heart of Killarney, a minute’s walk from Killarney National Park and the town centre. St. Mary’s Cathedral is a two‑minute stroll. INEC is about 1.5 miles away and Muckross Abbey about 3.1 miles; Kerry Airport is roughly 10 miles.

Housed in a newly renovated 150‑year‑old Georgian building, this hostel doubles as a coffee shack. Rooms range from private doubles to dorms with pod‑style beds made from recycled pallets. There’s a south‑facing secret garden with organic veg plots, free‑range chickens and a patio with BBQ. Inside, unwind by an open fire on leather couches and pick up the communal guitar — the place has an eco‑friendly, outdoorsy vibe and welcomes groups up to 36.

Free WiFi throughout and a free parking zone for guests who drive. Onsite tour desk and bike rental for hiking and cycling adventures. Shared kitchen, sun terrace, laundry, luggage storage, and a relaxing shared lounge. Wake up to garden mornings or grab coffee from the onsite coffee shack after a day in the National Park.

Free WiFi and luggage storage; staff can help arrange tours and group activities — handy for small groups and organized trips.

The Black Sheep serves a buffet or continental breakfast and runs a coffee shack pouring single‑origin specialty coffee. The hostel partners with local bakers and chocolatiers for pastries and snacks, and the garden BBQ area is perfect for casual outdoor meals.
