Great location, right by the main bus station and a 5 minute walk from the city center. Nice room, nice bathroom. Breakfast was basic but good, especially for this price. Nice common area with sofas and pool table. Overall great value for price.

Very good location, especially when you get to Galway by a train or a bus - it takes literally a few minutes to walk to the Hostel. There is a very nice common area- sitting room with books and games and there is also dining area with big tables - so you have plenty of space for eating or using the laptop. You have also access to the kitchen - if you wish to prepare a meal - you have very well equipped kitchen. The Staff at the reception is always there and happy to provide the assistance or advice. In the morning you can have a nice continental breakfast.

Is the shower in the bedroom is it ensuite?regards Sharon

Asked about: Budget Double Room • Answered on July 3, 2020
Hi there! If I book for 1 bed in a 4-bed dormitory, would I share with only 1 person? (Due to pandemic situation)

at this time we are opened as normal, as the government has not set restrictions on hotels/ hostels limits. So there would be 4 people in the 4 bed dorm. If you would like to be on your own, you would need to either buy all 4 beds or a private room.

Asked about: Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room • Answered on June 3, 2021
Hi, just wondering what is the difference between the budget double room and the apartment? Does the apartment have a kitchen or???

Hi, The budget room is in our hostel on Forster St. You would be sharing the common area, including the kitchen, with other guests. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk from the hostel, where there is a small kitchen for you to use.
