We had free coffee and cereals, toasts and jam&butter. No cheese or eggs, but it was ok for this low price.

Nice common area, the breakfast isn’t much but is included in the room cost which is nice. Perfect to stay for one night as around the corner from both bus stations.

Everything, and Im picky about where I stay. I dont do unclean, and this was clean! Super secure, the staff was so fun to talk to and they do your laundry for 8euro. Wish I could do it myself but oh well.

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.

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).

Ideally located in the heart of Galway, just 3 minutes' walk from Galway Rail Station, Snoozles Tourist Hostel offers free Wi-Fi, a bar, a games room, and laundry facilities. Eyre Square, marking the center of Galway City, is only 1,150 feet away.

All the rooms and dormitories at Snoozles Tourist Hostel have an private bathroom and lockers. This award-winning hostel offers a garden, bicycle rental, and a shared lounge area with a TV. Guests can also relax at the library, or use the games room, the karaoke, and BBQ facilities. There is a breakfast buffet every morning, and a mini-market on site.

Shop Street, the main thoroughfare of Galway, is only within 10 minutes' stroll. Lynch's Castle and St Nicholas' Collegiate Church, probably the finest medieval buildings in Ireland, are found here. The famous Spanish Arch is just within 12 minutes' walk.

This is our guests' favorite part of Galway, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

the room was a bit tight for 6 persons. En suite bathroom is great only when not everyone in the room is trying to use it at the same time. To flush the toilet I really had to press the button so hard and it was difficult to maneuver.
friendly staff location: super close to the new coach station in Galway!

Having the room I paid for, or offering to pay the extra money I had to give for another accommodation.
I was not given the accommodation I paid for, the room was dirty, shower floor was torn and dirty. The staff were very unhelpful refusing to give me the room I paid for. I was forced to look for alternative on a wet and windy evening accommodation with my granddaughter. The manager admitted the room was in need of repair and did not meet the standards of health and safety.
