This hostel has made my travels what it is. I couldn't have asked for more. Both the day and night receptionists were REALLY cool, and meeting people is ridiculously easy here (and I'm the not-so-social type and traveling alone). I'm very greatful for this hostel.

very very good, very nice staff. Just a detail: in the bathroom a small shelf would be nice to put our clothes during the time we have a shower

A little noisy bed 4 room 7 as I'd say the other side of the wall has the motor for a gate opener. The staff were awesome. Very bright and helpful and with some great suggestions of things to do.

Really happy with this place, only a short distance from town but far enough to avoid the noise. I have never seen such a clean hostel! Security was very visible as well. A great place to stay.

Nice hostel, REALLY comfortable beds, free internet, extremely friendly and helpful staff and free tea and coffee in the mornings. Bathrooms were a little dirty, but bring your flip-flops and you'll be golden.

It's a perfect place for holiday and for someone, like me, looking for a house in the city. The staff can help you with friendiship and councils. And if your english is not excellent don't worry they are really patient! Enjoy this hostel!

HELLO, I WAS UPSET IN RELATION TO CLEANING THE ROOM. THE HOUSEKEEPER TOOK MY BEACH TOWEL BUT BEFORE SHE HAD TO CHECK IN THE COMPUTER HOW MANY BEDS HAD TO BE CLEANED. THE HEATER IN MY ROOM WASN'T WORK PROPERLY. I AM NOT VERY SATISFIED ABOUT THIS HOSTEL. REGARDS

Good place and great staff, but my issue is with the number and size of groups they let stay there. It isn't exactly easy to relax and meet people when there are 5 rugby teams consisting of all 17 year old boys running everywhere. Would be far better if they didn't let so many groups in.

Really nice hotel 2 mins from Eyre Square. Clean & comfortable. Staff very helpful. Definitely recommend this one. Book it online instead of at the hostel as it's 1/2 price online.

We had an ensuite in a renovated building across from the main hostel, so cannot comment on it though a brief look suggested it was OK. Our ensuite was good - 3 ensuite bedrooms shared a good kitchen and small lounge. BUT the timber floors are noisy!

I have booked a single room, but I got a 6 bed room, using alone. That wouldn't have been a problem, but this one was from 6am till 10pm extremly noisy. So, be carefull with room number 7!!

I stayed in a 6 person room with 5 of my friends, it was very clean. We had our own bathroom as well as a big bathroom down the hall. They had free internet access which was good for us because we had other travels to plan. Nice location, in walking distance of the main streets.

Excelente albergue a 5-10 minutos del centro de la ciudad. La gente que lo atiende es muy agradable y siempre hay alguien limpiando u ordenando la cocina. Internet es gratuito y funciona bastante bien. De la ruta que hice por irlanda, sin duda el mejor albergue en el que estuve.

Didn't spend a lot of time in the hostel due to the nature of my stay in Galway, but from what I saw it was a pretty sound place, I've certainly stayed in worse! No hot water in my room on the second morning, and a number of security lockers were out of order.
