Irelandbreakfast was nice! not a huge selection but just enough there, good for people travelling. common room was lovely. Staff very helpful
IrelandIt's a clean hostel that really gives value for your money. The hostel organizes often pub crawls so you get to meet a lot of new people from different places. The kitchen is clean and well equipped so you can cook your own food if you want too and there's lots of tables to eat at. The common room behind the reception is a great hangout spot both before and after a night out.
FinlandLocation, breakfast, staff all excellent. A definite asset to Galway as a tourist destination. These people certainly know about Irish Tourism. What else can I say, except "try it to appreciate it"
IrelandOne of the best and cleanest hostels I ever stayed in! Staff are very friendly! But bring your lockers
OmanLocation, price, our room, the common facilities, honestly there's a reason this hostel is so loved by people across Ireland. Big shout out to the staff especially, We had a staff member at reception (I'm gonna say her name was.. Megan?) Who was genuinely the most lovely person and gave us a heap of recommendations, give her a raise like
IrelandLocation is great. Layout and comfort are fabulous. Staff are very are welcoming, pleasant and helpful.
IrelandBreakfast is all you can eat and is decent. Beds are cozy and private. Bathrooms are super clean. Tours should be booked with the hostel as it's the best price and usually leave right outside.
