Aavaa, Finland

Location is the best, very central. Always, friendly helpful staff on duty.

Mary, Ireland

Hostel is very modern, clean, comfortable and has an elevator. Facilities are comfortable, common room, kitchen and balcony very welcoming and convenient. Staff is super friendly and informative. Rooms had good air, clean beds and bathrooms, windows big and open. The location is super comfortable, walking distance from pubs, restaurants and shopping however not too close so that it's still private and not noisy.

Kaaname, Israel

Closer to the best spots. We can drink inside the hostel our own drinks.

Renan, Brazil

Great location and clean hostel. We could share the bathroom with only 4 people, so very comfortable. Breakfast is also enough. Value for money.

Mariko, Ireland

Hostel close to the Bus station and a few minutes walk from Eyre's Sq. Lovely living areas, and kitchen facilities. Staff very friendly.

Jacqueline, Ireland

My first experience in a hostel and I was very delightfully surprised. The staff went out of their way to make our stay a positive experience they were helpful ,professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place and would consider staying there again if I visit Galway

Angela, Canada

The staff were the friendliest I have ever seen. Every single one went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. One even shared his SkyTV account with us and set up a wifi hotspot with his phone so we could watch Game of Thrones!!! Excellent service all around.

Tom, United States of America

Great staff, nice breakie, nicely decored facilities.

“Mediocre”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Exit light in the room was quite bright and you can't turn it off. Doesn't help when your trying to sleep. No sockets by top bunk beds. They are all on the floor and away from beds Note: This may have just been the specific room I was in. The other rooms might be better.

“I don't understand why it is so popular”
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The reviews claimed that they serve good free breakfast, but it couldn't be more basic. The place is full of students leaving the common area a complete mess( cans on the floor etc!), it should be cleaned for others! The rooms are a disaster. No wifi at second floor, not a single chair, so if you have an upper bed you cant sit anywhere. Toilet didn't flush. There is one hanger in the bathroom, no idea what to do with clothes when showering. The beds move at every single move of the other person. The lockers make a loud sound when opening. There is a light that you can't turn off so if you are using upper bed without eye mask you have a lamp on all night.
눇The staff were nice. The location literally at the coach station.

“Terrible wifi, no place to charge devices”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The facilities are not good. There is no power sockets for each bed, which means you cannot charge your cellphone/camera/etc during sleep. What you can do: charge your device in public area/reception, or do it somewhere close to the door (the only place you can find in the dorm), and let the alarm bothering everyone in the room. No night light. Wifi is useless. If you want to surf, use the public laptop. I cannot imagine there is any youth travel without several digital devices. Party every night and a lot of locals, so it might be nice for the party animals.
눇Nice staff, good location, just next to the coach station, and Galway is a small town so it is easy to get everywhere.

눉Would like to see the people who use the kitchen clean up after themselves more since it is small. But the staff do clean from time to time so it's not too bad and it's clean in the morning for breakfast. I miss the free tea/coffee it used to have and which is standard in other hostels. There may be some coffee in the common section (don't know if left behind by other travelers) but no milk. Also, tried a cappuchino from the machine - was a bitter one (which is fine for people who like it that way), I prefer slightly sweet so wouldn't have it again but that's just a personal thing. Saw a few people bring alcohol up to the rooms although meant to be forbidden, only down stairs.
눇Location is the best, very central. Always, friendly helpful staff on duty.

“Modern hostel at a great location”
- • Leisure trip

눉The parking is 10 euro for a whole 24 hours in a safe comfortable parking garage near the hostel. Breakfast is only bread, butter and jam, coffee and tea. However the coffee was really good.
눇Hostel is very modern, clean, comfortable and has an elevator. Facilities are comfortable, common room, kitchen and balcony very welcoming and convenient. Staff is super friendly and informative. Rooms had good air, clean beds and bathrooms, windows big and open. The location is super comfortable, walking distance from pubs, restaurants and shopping however not too close so that it's still private and not noisy.

“Nice Hostel but Recepcionist should be more supportive”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉We arrived very early (6 am) really tired of the trip, and the guy in the reception said that we could not do the check-in (that's OK) but we could not stay in the common area so we had to hang around the city, having some trouble with drunk homeless people asking for cigarretes. The later recepcionist (Amanda, nice person!) said that they have a room to rest and the first recepcionist should tell about it. This is something that is almost unforgivable. >:-{
눇Closer to the best spots. We can drink inside the hostel our own drinks.
