Solo female traveller and I stayed in an all girls room. Room was clean, a little stuffy, but great experience. They also do a pub crawl with the other hostels and it’s a great way to meet people if you are travelling alone. I would definitely book again. Staff was great and breakfast had tons of options. ##### Sinead ### 8/10 Good #### matthew Jul 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A large hostel in the city centre. Even on a Monday, there are drunk Irishmen coming and going at all hours. One guy slept naked after he passed out at 0500. Nice breakfast. ##### matthew Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael May 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at - Kinlay just gets so many things right! Dorm beds are comfortable with privacy curtains, light, power socket and USB. Showers are very good, with hooks for hanging items and shower gel provided. And finally a hostel that doesn’t charge or require a deposit for towels - fantastic! There is a large and pleasant communal area, with a pool table and piano. The kitchen is large and has everything you need, plus there are lots of fridges and freezers. Free tea, coffee and some fruit is available 24/7 which is just brilliant, and there are even some free daily afternoon biscuits. The free breakfast is very good. The hostel is very clean throughout with everything well-maintained. WiFi is excellent. Staff are very friendly and super helpful. Note that Kinlay Hostel is operated by the same people as Snoozles Hostel, which is also superb. I strongly recommend both. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Fredericton](https://www.expedia.ca/Fredericton-Hotels.d3935.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort, Scottsdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-The-Phoenician.h10645.Hotel-Information) > > [Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Lifestyle-Holidays-Vacation-Resort-All-Inclusive.h32153817.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Hotels in Nashville](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels-Fairmont.0-0-d178291--bFairmont.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Flannery's Hotel Galway](https://www.expedia.ca/Galway-Hotels-Flannerys-Hotel-Galway.h1993.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Times Square New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Times-Square-New-York.h6300652.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hinton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinton-Hotels.d180429.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Quarter House](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Quarter-House.h27812449.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Jamaica-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d88-tCheapHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Maui-Hotels.d180073.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kanata](https://www.expedia.ca/Kanata-Ottawa-Hotels.0-n6057858-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Galway Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Galway-Hotels-Galway-Bay-Hotel.h106984.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Fredericton](https://www.expedia.ca/Fredericton-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d3935-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Glenlo Abbey Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Galway-Hotels-Glenlo-Abbey-Hotel.h4076.Hotel-Information) > > ['Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Alohilani-Resort-Waikiki-Beach.h21781.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Québec City (YQB) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqb/mia/quebec-to-miami) > > [Flights from Kenora (YQK) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqk/ywg/kenora-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Taoyuan City (TPE) to Chek Lap Kok (HKG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/tpe/hkg/taipei-to-hong-kong) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yul/kelowna-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/nce/ottawa-to-nice) > > [Flights from Thunder Bay (YQT) to Trzebownisko (RZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqt/rze/thunder-bay-to-rzeszow) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Orillia](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Orillia.d9268-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Rome](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Rome.d179899.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Sicily](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Sicily.d6048323.Car-Rental-Destinations) ### Activities > [Things to do in Santorini](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Santorini.d177970.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Fisherman's Wharf Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Fishermans-Wharf-Park-James-Bay.d6225286.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Tangle Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Tangle-Falls-Alberta.d6260943.Vacation-Attraction)
