Everything. My first ever stay in a hostel so I was a bit weary. If all hostels are like this, their reputation would be very different. I was very kindly greeted and registered at the desk, the staff were exceptionally nice (and I'd had a bad day so it was extra appreciated), it was clean, they served breakfast and the communal spaces are pretty cool. The rooms came with an ensuite toilet and bathroom. Would recommend 100%.

Great location, easy parking. Galway is so expensive that I took a risk and booked a quadruple private room four our family. Overall it worked out. The first night was miserable as the pillows were terrible and one of the bunk beds squeaked with the slightest move. However they tightened it up and gave us new pillows. I found out I’m too old to rough it but as a hostel it was nice, clean, and friendly.
