Barnacles Quay Street Galway City in Shangri-La, Ireland

noise at 5:00 am by people who come back to night club ring of the fire alarm on the night ... that's wake up us and that is unpleasant but nice place and good reception =) Théo, from France ~ 21st Feb 2012

well located clean with a friendly atmosphere.I would definately recommend it. PJ, from Ireland ~ 5th Dec 2011

Bedroom small but adequate.Hostel was clean and comfortable. Reception staff were poor.I was checked in by a young woman who had her feet up on the desk.She was also cool and offhand in her manner. Also, although I had hung around the city until the advertised check in time of 3pm, my room was not available until 4.15pm approx.This is very shoddy service. Dermot, from Ireland ~ 24th Oct 2011

The location alone is worth the price. All in all a bright, lively place to stay. I haven't stayed in many hostels but this must be one of the best.I recommend it without reservation. walter, from USA ~ 26th Oct 2011

A very clean, well run hostel right in the main pedestrian area of Galway. Lots of pubs, shopping, and restaurants right at your feet. The breakfast was a little meager (just toast and coffee). But no other hostel in Galway comes close to their awesome location. Austin, from USA ~ 20th Oct 2011

The breakfast war a litle poor, other places there are more to, like eggs, yougurht, cornfleaks and milk, for 11 € pr. nigth.... Silje Fahlen, Danmark (My E-mail) Ann-Britt, from Denmark ~ 5th Jul 2011
