The staff was more than helpful, they were personable and welcoming. We were assisted in booking a tour to the Cliffs of Moher and for tix at the local theater. Katie was especially generous with her time. After a long day of traveling all the staff helped us feel at home and settled.

All went well, I have stayed at SLEEPZONE GALWAY CITY on several previous trips and have found that this hostel is run and staffed to the highest of standards.

Joseph Ireland

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Nice clean place plenty of room and good facilities. Reasonable price too

George Ireland

The location of this hostel is fantastic, and they are very professional in terms of Covid protocols, something I was anxious about when staying in a hostel. The room was very clean and had great natural light, and the bathroom had a great shower. Overall, a great place to stay when in Galway.

Paddy Ireland

We loved that we could get any information from the day staff about where to go what to do and how to get there

Debbie Ireland

Our room was very clean and comfortable. Everyone was super nice and gave good advices for pubs and restaurants. The room had good sound isolation.

1) Like the quiet room and movie night with projector! 2) Also, only a 3minute walk to Lidl!! 3) Friendly guests and helpful staff.

Thanh United States of America

Really central, staff unbelievably helpful. Was just down for New Years Eve so didn't spend much time in the hostel but can't give it less than a good review as all our interactions with staff were excellent. Arrived before check-in - gave us free towels and let us use the communal bathroom and drop luggage. Gave us towels and shampoo the next morning, had zero hassle. Would recommend

Conor Ireland

The nice, friendly staff from diverse backgrounds offer great recommendations for things to do throughout the day and night. I followed all of their advice and had a ball. The apartment was great. I saved money using the kitchen (as opposed to eating out everyday) and enjoyed the full-sized bathroom. Around this time of year, the hostel's proximity to the Christmas market at Eyre Square can't be beat! One of the volunteers Iman did a fabulous job bringing a Christmas feel to the place. I absolutely loved the twinkling lights and beautifully decorated Christmas trees throughout the facility. Her touch made it feel like a home away from home.

Siobhan United States of America

Big room and washroom. Kitchen is very comfortable and clean. Although it is not “that” close to bus station，but there are very good groceries nearby. Staffs are kind. Music is always good！
