The location was great,the room was nice and clean and the staff were friendly and very helpful explaining the rules.
IrelandEverything was perfect. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly in particular and went out of their way to help me
Irelandthe location is perfect, the staff is very nice and well reachable.
ItalyStaff were incredibly friendly and helpful! The room was basic, but provided all the necessities and was definitely good value for the price. It included a balcony, which is a nice touch. It was a fleeting stay, we didn't get to use all the facilities, but the common area included a pool table, and there were some (slightly aged) games consoles available too.
IrelandBreakfast is super high for a hostel wasn't expecting that And room was great
IrelandThe staff is absolutely amazing. Would love to visit again, I live in Galway now though but Snoozles is one of my recommended hostels in Galway.
IrelandGreat to have a private outdoor courtyard, free computer to use with internet, though only one. Kitchen could get cramped. The first room had individual bed lights and power plug ins and was comfortable, request that (ask if that's in your chosen room). Second room did not. Facilities were very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. Also they have a great deal for a "Cliffs of Moher" tour if you book through the hostel. Location also great, right next to the coach station and only a few blocks from downtown/nightlife area.
GermanyThe staff was friendly and willing to help out with anything. The location is amazing, right next door to the bus station and within reasonable walking distance to anything the city has to offer
United States of AmericaCentrally located, friendly staff, safe and fun atmosphere.
United States of AmericaThe room was clean. The front desk staff was nice and answered any questions. Breakfast was simple, but good. I liked that there were 4-bed female only rooms. Very close to Galway Coach station.
