- “ Great place to stay! Very clean rooms and lounge rooms. One of the best hostel breakfasts I've had. Great and helpful staff. Location is prime. Secure lockers available. It almost seemed like we were staying in a hotel. Highly recommend! ”

- “ Great place to stay in Galway. Sure, you're not go there if you want a quiet night. The location is in the earth of Galway, everything is near you. The free water bottles are a great great point, really appreciate. One bad point is, no towel included (need to rent or buy one) and shower is a bit dirty (and water not very warm, cold often came) Staff is nice. ”

- “ Probably the best hostel in Galway! It is in the middle of the city centre, the rooms and the bathroom are very clean. There is a big common room with internet access on the first floor and another smaller room on the second floor. There's a big and good breakfast available in the morning and the staff is very friendly! ”

- “ One of the best hostels ever. Breakfast is awesome, the staff very friendly, manager humorous, wifi flawless, 3 free computer terminals to boot. Play piano or guitar if mood strikes you in the comfy common room. Clean pressed sheets, warm comforters. Did I miss any thing? Yes, clean and plentiful toilets and showers. Large metal cages under the bed to store all your stuff, and securely if you had a lock. One little flaw - need more hooks to hang cloths in bathroom. Did I mention great location ”

- “ Friendly and cheerful staff. Nightly pub crawls seemed like a good deal, but we got in too late to take advantage. Bright clean common spaces and rooms. Great location - just off the main square with plenty of restaurants/pubs in walking distance. ”

- “ the nicest hostel I've been to in Ireland: clean, safe, new, nice atmosphere, conveniently located, very nice living room and dining room. Free breakfast is good Big hostel (200 beds), price ok (14e). What is more, the irish girl at the reception was really charming. ”

- “ The place is over priced for what you get. Severely, in fact it was twice the price of the other Hostel we stayed in. The rooms were not overly clean the bathroom was disgusting and it was far from the rooms and it housed the only showers. Overall not a place I would return to. They also messed up our bookings and were very confused about it all upon our arrival. ”

- “ This was a fantastic hostel! Located right in Eyre Square, it was a short distance to everything and had tours that picked up right outside the door. By far one of the cleanest hostels I have ever stayed in with loads of toilets/showers to accommodate all the guests. Never had to wait! Naimh at the front desk was awesome :) so helpful! Good wi-fi, excellent breakfast. Wu,d recommend to anyone staying in Galway!! ”

- “ Can't get much better than this place! Staff was very friendly and helpful, I mean extremely wonderful! Accommodations were amazing! Room was great, clean, spacious. Location was perfect too, right on the square, could walk to everywhere within 5 minutes! Best of all you get all this and it is the cheapest hostel in Galway [my initial reason for picking it]. Best hostel experience I've had in my 6 weeks of traveling! ”
