Hostel Directions
From the Bus Station
We're a 10 minute walk from the bus station in Cork. The bus station is on the river, and if you face the river and look up to your left you'll see the top of Shandon Church (a clock tower with a golden fish on top). We're right next to that church. Walk to your left and cross the first or second bridge and then head up John Redmond Street. It's not labeled but there is a yellow triangular building called the Dominican Centre on the corner and a brown arrow sign pointing up to Shandon. We're right behind the Quality Hotel when you're going up the hill.
From the Train Station
We're a 15 minute walk from the train station in Cork. The first part is easy; just exit the train station and turn left. You'll be walking along MacCurtain Street for a while and you'll catch a few glimpses of the clock tower of Shandon Church ahead of you. Keep walking straight, and after a set of lights it turns into Coburg Street. The larger Coburg Street curves to the right but there is a smaller street going straight, keep to the straight and narrow! You'll cross a main road and take a few steps up, at the top turn right and we're right behind the Quality Hotel.
Driving from the Dublin Direction
Follow the signs to the City Centre. You'll eventually be driving along a one way street on the river. NEVER CROSS THE RIVER! After the 4th bridge, you'll see a yellow triangular building called the Dominican Centre on a corner, take that street up the hill and you'll see the Quality Hotel. We're right behind that. To get to our parking, turn left before the hotel and go around to the back.
Driving from the Limerick Direction
As you head into Cork you'll see two churches up on the hill on your right. The one with the clock tower is Shandon Church, and we're right next to that. Make sure you're in the right lane by the time you pass the Heineken/Murphy's Brewery, and the river is at the next set of lights. Don't cross the river! Instead, turn right and take an immediate right again at the Dominican Centre. We're right behind the Quality Hotel. To get to our parking, turn left before the hotel and go around to the back.
