Everything. The attention to the details, excellent breakfast, available and friendly staff. You name it!

The way breakfast was organized. Also the staff were available and helpful and down to earth. It was located well, although a little drive out of the city center of Galway.

Heather

United Kingdom

Industrial modern decor, warm and cosy. Kitchen in the common area is well equipped.

Theana

The room was very comfortable, spacious, and clean. The main lounge area was lovely, and they provided coffee and tea all day, plus a delicious continental breakfast with individual French press coffees. The Nest is in a good location in Salthill, with good restaurants and bars nearby. It's also only about a 15-20 minute walk to the heart of downtown Galway.

The breakfast was a good time! The cuteness of the tiny pre-filled cafetières and little jar of soy milk on the side, ahh! Both night and day staff were absolutely lovely to deal with. The beds are cosy and the sound of traffic outside was as minimal as you could get for being so close to the city. :)

Good location, friendly and helpful staff, decent breakfast. There were plenty of bathrooms if you're sharing and I never had to wait for one.

“I got bed bugs”

Got bed bugs, was offered a refund of my dorm stay, the refund didn't happen. I woke in night with an itchy hand and arm, thought nothing of it. Called the reception the day after when the bite marks had flared up and were really itchy. Emailed the manager and attached photos. Got a generic "we will investigate" response. Offered a refund. Granted it was a cheap dorm room but the refund would barely cover hydrocortisone cream. Didn't get the refund as was promised. Breakfast is good if you only eat pastries/scones/toast for breakfast.
Staff were pleasant on check-in

“Relaxing ambience in luxurious hostel”

The only thing that could be improved is the narrow steps on the bunk bed ladders. They are probably in most hostels but a bit sore on the feet when your wrestling yourself up onto the top bunk.
This is my second time to stay here. It's a lovely, pleasant and relaxing hostel in the beautiful surroundings of Salthill. Brilliant breakfast, individual coffee cafetieres and muesli jars left ready with different breads and pastries to choose from.
