Liked: The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to help me. Stephen, the owner, even arranged for me to go to the Rose of Tralee festival at a lower price as another customer had not been able to attend. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Disliked: As with all hostels, sometimes other residents can leave a lot to be desired, but the owners always listened to any suggestions.

Liked: I had a great stay at the Castle Hostel in Tralee. It is located close to the town centre and bus/ train stations. The facilities and rooms were excellent , I got a warm welcome and plenty of assistance from Stephen and Aileen during my stay. This hostel experience was better than some hotels and B&B's I have stayed in and if I am back in Tralee this would be my first choice accommodation. The Castle Hostel offers excellent value for money and a really comfortable and friendly place to stay in Tralee.

Liked: Stephen was great, it was like staying with a good friend. It was very home-like, and hostels are usually anything but. They really go out of their way to accommodate you. I'm doing the "backpack around Europe" thing, and I've stayed in a ton of Hostels, and I'd rather stay here over anywhere else.
