“ Snoozles blew my mind! I still don't know how to pronounce the name correctly, but I had a marvelous stay there. Everything is very clean, the lockers were secure, and the beds were comfortable. The receptionist was lovely in both personality and appearances. There weren't as many people hanging out in the lounge as some of the other places I've stayed, but I still made some friends. The shower drain was clogged when I arrived but they fixed it within a few hours of me mentioning it. ”

“ The ratings are true... one of the most upscale and vibrant hostels I've ever stayed in. Everything seems new and the common areas are created for maximum chances of meeting new people. The place was constantly buzzing with people coming and going, activities and day trips available for purchase at front desk and the staff were over and above helpful. If you are going to the West coast of Ireland, stay here. ”

“ Snoozles Hostel Galway is one of the best hostels I ever stayed in! Great location - only a few minutes walk from train/bus station and Galway centre. The staff made us feel like home, always happy and gave us loads of advice what to see and do. Rooms were clean and beds comfy enough (nice room mates as well!) Quite big kitchen, free breakfast. Nice room to hang out in with a great atmosphere with all the people. Will go back to Galway and definetely stay there again! ”

“ This hostel seemed very efficiently ran when I was there. The staff was very organized. The only downside was that a youth sports team was staying there and it was loud and crowded in living room and kitchen areas. Nice hostel though! ”

“ People are really nice, lockers/safes, they offer a pub crawl, kitchen, guitar, and a lot of info for touring, right next to the bus station, just down the street from the train station...centra market right near by for the budget conscious like my self! And cute brunette Irish girl at the front desk, always a smile on her face! Really great stay! ”

“ Great location and very clean. The facilities are new and I like that it was kept warm and the staff offered great options for things to do in town. Breakfast was very basic and I wish they would offer more than just toast and juice, but it still is not bad for the price. ”

“ Very nice hostel with lots of to offer. It is right next to the bus station, but about a 10 minute walk from the main area of town. The kitchen facilities and breakfasts were great, and we met lots of neat people from all over the world. Staff was very helpful in suggesting day trips and how to get around Galway. We did the day trip to Connemara and the Aran Islands and I highly suggest those. Great hostel! ”

“ Stayed at the hostel overnight during the Film Festival (town very busy for accommodation). The location is ideal as it is right next to the coach station and only 5 mins walk from the train station. Only disadvantage to that is that with the window open it can be quite noisy as buses keep pulling in and out of the coach station throughout the night as well. Other than that it was excellent. One of the staff at reception was exceptionally friendly and very helpful. ”

“ The place was great. Right around the corner from the bus station so it was extremely convenient. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only thing negative was the bed. It was terrible. Worst sleep on my trip. ”

“ Breakfast is a bit of a scramble, not enough space. A wider kitchen would help when cooking ”
