The breakfast is very good. The staff are friendly.

Ignacio, Macau

the communal area is nice (but way too small), breakfast, curtains on the bunk beds.

Christoph, Germany

The room was nice and bed was comfortable. Good toilet and shower facilities and kitch area. I liked the free tea and coffee

Dáire, Ireland

USB ports in above the bed for charging phones and other items. Curtains over each bed to shield from any disturbing light. The lockers were in cages under the bed which are much quieter for anyone getting in and out of them.

Daniel, United Kingdom

So very good!! Irish Dancing and superb breakfast and super clean and comfy lounge room and GREAT location!!

Dana, United States of America

Very friendly, spotless, great breakfast, warm, best hostel in the west I've stayed in

Colm, Ireland

The location is perfect. The common area spacious and comfortable. And it's clean! I can't find anything that I didn't like, I stayed few days, but I'm sure I'll keep this place in mind if I need a place in Galway. Also, I didn't use them but there are a lot of activities for dinner.

Dorilyss, Italy

Just on overall comfort, friendliness of staff and location with cleanliness included there was no decision to be made. The other visitors were very socialable and there was a sense of security about it.

David, Ireland

Evening activity (dinner, Irish pub/ dancing, silent disco) was amazing! Clean hostel, friendly staff, breakfast

Lies, Belgium

the pool table, super friendly staff & volunteers who bring you out

Tadhginsalzburg, Ireland

Excellent location!

What Travelers Love About This Location

5.8 “If you need a cheap place to stay and don't mind the Irish version of Jerseys Shore type roommates this place is for you. Bed was uncomfortable but outlet for phone is easily accessible from all beds. Breakfast was included but mostly bread and cereal. Location and easy access to tours is the best thing about this place. Photo include are all in walking distance of the property.”

10 “The location is perfect, right beside the bus station and walking distance to everything. Best breakfast I've ever had in a hostel. Good place to meet people as they have a big lounge area where everyone hangs out and they run activities as well as a pub crawl. The staff was friendly and helpful! The kitchen is great for making your own food. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Honestly one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at”

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

      눉mold in the men's showers. super loud music in the bathrooms, even in the early morning (what's the point??). the construction of the bunks causes that when anybody in the other three bunks (which are connected) moves, the whole thing shakes. tray area too small. the communal area is too small. overcrowded. no familiar atmosphere at all. wouldn't stay again, this one is overrated.

      눇the communal area is nice (but way too small), breakfast, curtains on the bunk beds.
