This hotel is great value for money, especially considering its central location in the heart of the city. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, just like Julie who went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay. The rooms have a nice, friendly atmosphere with four comfy bunk beds and a private bathroom. The breakfast is delicious, with homemade bakery treats and even biscuits for early risers.
All was well, nothing to improve.

This hotel is located right in the heart of the city center, making it convenient to explore all the attractions on foot. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to provide information and assistance. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with cozy chairs that provided a nice spot to relax and have a chat with fellow travelers. One of the highlights was the breakfast, which was served until the food ran out. It included a variety of delicious options, even biscuits, and was a great way to start the day for early risers.
The noise level in this hotel was something to be expected in a lively city center location, but it wasn't too disruptive.

Convenient location, plenty of cooking facilities, lockers available, mixed gender room, comfortable mattress. Limited breakfast options, but free. Challenging parking situation with pay kiosks, but there are cheaper car parks nearby. a good place to stay with friendly staff.

I had an amazing time staying in this hostel! The staff were super friendly and always willing to help out with anything we needed - even giving us some great recommendations for places to eat and things to do nearby. The location was perfect too, right in the heart of the city with easy access to everything. Plus, there was a really cool common area where we got to meet some awesome fellow travelers from all over the world!
The only downside during my stay was that the rooms were a bit cramped and there wasn't much space to store our things. , some of the other guests were a bit loud at times and kept us up late into the night.

I had an excellent stay at a hostel in Galway. The private room for 4 was spacious and spotlessly clean. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the city center and near a beautiful waterway. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Despite a minor misunderstanding about check-out time, the staff handled it well. The value for money was exceptional, and I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a cheap yet comfortable stay in Galway. I had a great experience and would stay here again.
