I liked that it was right next to the bus terminal. A little walk to the centre, but close to transit for tours and travel into and out of the city. Room and common rooms were clean and well kept.

Beth

This hostel was clean, easy to access, comfortable and great. The location was often wonderful. Walkable to everything you need in Galway but just far enough away to maintain some peace and quiet (<10 minute walk to the Latin Quarter).

Staff was incredible, really made the stay worthwhile and memorable. Really made a difference as I’m travelling alone. When I return to Galway I will 100% be staying with them again. Never did I feel like I was ever bothering them even though I probably was 😂. Great job guys you’re world class 👌🏼

You need more toilets! One toilet for 10 people in the room is not enough especially when someone takes a long shower!

“Good, but not the best”
- • Leisure trip

- • Bed in 4-Bed Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The beds didn't have privacy with curtains like other hostels. The bathroom in the small rooms (4 bed) can do with more attention and there isn't any shelf or bench to put stuff down on, the bathroom tap is very aggressive and seems to get a lot more wet than anything, some bathrooms don't have windows or ventilation so it gets very stuffy and humid in the whole room. Smokers are very loud at night downstairs and their voices carry right up into the room.
The staff are great, the kitchen caters to those who like to make their own food, the location is very convenient, and discount is gotten booking tours through the hostel.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was basic but clean, and the mattress was comfortable. Breakfast was included, and all the coffee you could ask for. Kitchen facilities were available to. A great place to socialise with people from all over, but also perfect for a quite nights rest if that's what you're looking for. I'll definitely stay again next time I'm in Galway.
