About Neptune’s

For more than three decades, Neptune’s Hostel has been part of Killarney’s story — a place where adventures begin, friendships are made, and memories last long after you’ve gone home. As a family-run hostel, we’ve grown alongside our guests, welcoming everyone from solo backpackers and cycling groups to families discovering Ireland for the first time.

Our building may be in the centre of town, but our spirit is firmly rooted in the wild beauty that surrounds us. Over the years, we’ve shared countless trail maps, swapped travel stories in our common rooms, and watched guests fall in love with Killarney just as we have.

What sets us apart isn’t just our location or our facilities — it’s the feeling you get when you walk through the door: a mix of easygoing comfort, genuine care, and the buzz of fellow travellers planning their next adventure.
