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.

Bettina, Italy

I Absolutely Loved the French Doors. The French doors allows for Fresh Air and Sunshine. I looked forward to the Gluten Free Soda Bread, it's Fabulous when toasted with butter. The location was very convenient, just a skip away from Active 24 Fitness located within the Connacht Hotel.

Shatzie, United States of America

Nice staff Good situated for people without a car

Patricia, Germany

Very comfortable beds, good facilities (plug, lock, lamp on each bed), clean bathroom, friendly staff. Breakfast included in price - rare in the hostel.

Bartosz, Poland

Everything was more or less satisfactory. Good place to sleep there is everything you need.

“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.

눉The Pompous Attitudes Exhibited by some of the Staff and Manager. First impressions through email and check-in is they are very friendly, very accommodating but once you question, complain, offer suggestions or feedback the Nasty Attitude and Fake Facial Appearance Arises. I was in a 4 bunk female dorm and some of the women were not only Very Messy but we're Oblivious, Disrespectful to the Other Guest within the room. Hostels were Not Designed so one could prance around the room half nude in front of strangers, other guests. Hostels were Not Designed so that while everyone in the room is asleep you can keep the light on for Facebook purposes or other Selfish Reasons. As long as We Continue to Accept Inappropriate Behaviour within Hostels that Behaviour Will Continue and Will Grow in the Wrong Direction. The doors are Heavy and Very Loud, it sounds as if someone is slamming it and will Absolutely Wake one out of their sleep. An abundance of noise travels from the outside and into the rooms. So between the noise created from within the room and the noise outside, I did not get an ounce of sleep the last two nights I was there but still had to wake up and live productively. It's also a shame that a very nice courtyard is designated for smokers. Secondhand Smoke is a Real Issue that Leads to Serious Health Issues.
눇I Absolutely Loved the French Doors. The French doors allows for Fresh Air and Sunshine. I looked forward to the Gluten Free Soda Bread, it's Fabulous when toasted with butter. The location was very convenient, just a skip away from Active 24 Fitness located within the Connacht Hotel.

눉Unfortunately the shower did not work and the staff did not react to it when we complained about it. "Oh yes it's broken we know, how unfortunate for you". They could have proposed that we have a shower in one of the other bathrooms.
