I wasn't sure about where to go while I was in the area, but Mary had some great advice about where I should visit. She also helped my to plan transportation to the harbor in PortMagee, where the ferries to Skellig Michael depart. The bathroom on the top floor is a bit small, and the slanted ceiling in the top...

The Seive Hostel is a lovely place to stay in Kerry. Mary, the hostess, is wonderful and a joy to be around. The sitting common room is very nice, with comfortable furniture and a warm fireplace. As for location, the bus station is right across the street, with buses going to and from many places in Kerry. My only complaint... More

The hostel was very cozy but a little tight on space. The location is unbeatable if you like smaller towns with rural attractions. The ballycarberry castle and two forts are great visits and the ring of Kerry runs right through the area. Pretty reasonably priced and very friendly service.

The stay in this hostel was the best in all of Ireland. The location was very good, great rooms, the bathroom clean. The kitchen was very good and I could even sprinkle fresh basil in my cooking. I still had not something like that in any hostel! Value for money very well! In the hostel were two very charming ladies,... More

We booked one night and ended up staying for 4. Really welcoming owners, the owner converted her family home into a hostel, but she keeps it as well as any family home I have ever visited. A real gem, more like a townhouse than a hostel and I Will definitely return to sive hostel.

Stayed here for bank holiday weekend while visiting ring of Kerry. Festival weekend so plenty to do in Cahirciveen and fun people around watching music. The hostel itself was clean and tidy and great value. The owners were friendly and helpful - couldn't have asked for more. Managed to visit skellig island aswell which was a real treat. Looking forward... More
