Everything was amazing. It's close to everything, the staff is nice, easy to meet people, it truly felt like a home away from home.

The Nest Boutique Hostel offers a majority of double and twin rooms with attached bathroom which have comfy beds, soft linen, power showers, fridges and contemporary Irish art work.

The place was clean and comfortable, the staff very helpful. You could ask them for help for finding your way around the city. There were shampoo and soap in the bathroom, and bedclothes and towels were included in the price of the room. If you're travelling with electronic devices and have trouble with the local socket type, you can rent an adapter from the reception desk; the deposit is 5€, and the deposit for your room key is 10€, which you'll get back upon check-out. Check-out is normally at 10a.m., but if you want to check out later, it'll only cost a fiver, I was told. There were small lockers for every guest in the shared bedroom as well as larger lockers in the downstairs lobby; you can ask for a padlock at the reception desk and use the lockers safely during your stay. There was a convenient, well-equipped shared kitchen and a fridge for the guests' use. You could also get breakfast or other meals at the hostel restaurant; the food looked great, though I didn't try any. There were also board games downstairs available for guests' use, which is a nice touch I think.

The free towel rental and included breakfast were a breath of fresh air!! The staff were lovely, particularly Valeria at the reception desk. The room was quite clean, and the location couldn't have been better! I appreciated that they partially validate parking a the Hynes Yard Q-Park. It brought the cost of overnight parking down significantly.

This comfortable, modern hostel is set in the center of Galway, just 328 feet from Eyre Square. The Dawson Galway City offers a free Wi-Fi zone and a large outdoor terrace.

Friendly staff, Clean facilities and a half decently comfortable bed to sleep on. For a 10 bed hostel room you can’t ask for anything else

The location was a bit outside the city but near green spaces to walk. The room was small but comfortable, perfect for a short stay!
