Eoin Ireland

Staff is kind and location is perfect. I really enjoyed it 😊

Amanda Brazil

The location was near Eyre square which was perfect for me and my friends who planned on going out in the town.. So well priced. Staff were so helpful even one lady gave us chocolate on check out for “international women’s day”. (The little things) we will be back... HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Robyn Ireland

Great staff. Alexander was very effective, efficient and helpful when I arrived. Jeanna from Canada was friendly and chatty . Thanks.

Patrick Ireland

The beds were very comfortable. It was very clean. The location was very good, it was so close to Eyre Square. The staff were so friendly. The girl from Kildare at the desk (didn’t catch her name) was so friendly and told us good places to eat. The price was so good too we were really happy with it.

Roisin Ireland

It's a nice, comfortable, and quiet hostel that's close to NUIG and the centre of Galway. It has free wifi and a basic breakfast of cold cereals, toast, butter, jam, and instant coffee, cocoa, and tea. I found the beds to be very comfortable, and I slept well. Aside from that- I recommend this place for any Sabbath-observant travelers who may happen to end up in Galway Friday-Saturday or over major holidays. The room keys are actual key cards, the hall lighting is on all of the time, and the front desk always has someone there. You can also make use of the kitchen, including the refrigerators.

Guy Ireland

Reception was great, location is the best, everything is sparkling clean and the rooms have their own bathroom which works great, common areas are also neat.

Patrick Germany

Friendly, busy hostel right in centre of city. Well equipped kitchen.

Daniel Australia
