Defined recommend this place

Great location, friendly staff, they were flexible enough to wait us for a late checkin, helped us with restaurant and pub recommendations and reservations. The room was clean and comfortable.

I liked everything

Okay

Location

Breakfast is included, but not the towel. I paid 108 EUR for three nights, and the hostel still charged me 2 EUR for the towel. No cheese at breakfast.

Overall a really good hostel, I’ve recommended it to a friend with advice to use the upstairs shower

It was very homely with clean and good cooking facilities and common area.

The all the showers on my floor were very cold not even room temperature. So I had to use the only one available upstairs in which you can change the temperature. Even that one was just warm.

Woodquay hostel was great quality for a good price and made me fee at home in a new city.

A lovely home away from home to explore Galway from. The location was 5 min walk from all the pubs, but far enough so it wasn’t loud at night. During my stay there were a lot of young travelers who were ready to become friends. The fresh baked bread every morning was a bonus.

No negatives :)

Simple and centric accomodation

It is in a fantastic location, very centric. The bathrooms and beds are clean. The staff is friendly and they have a no cost locker room for guests.

There isn't much space in the rooms. The common areas could be cleaner, the carpets smell a bit. We had to sleep in a triple bunk bed which isn't very comfortable. It is expensive.

Ok for some days in Galway

Location was very good, near the centre and not too far to the bus station. It's included a breakfast with bread, jam, a cake, fruits, in addition to the use of the kitchen. 1€ for Nespresso. Staff was nice and smiling

I was in a female dormitory of 7 beds. My bed was a triple bunk bed and I was in the lower one... Cleaning could be better too but bathrooms were ok.

It has everything I needed for a one-night stay.

Location is perfect, only 10minutes from couch station. Close to the city center and shops.

Wifi didn’t work in my room. Maybe if I had told the stuff about it they would find a solution.

Good Stay

The location is great, right in the city center. Staff is very friendly and helpful. You can store your luggage before check-in, after check-out for a few hours. The kitchen has everything you need. The breakfast has different breads, fruits, tea, coffee. The room has ventilation.

There were sounds throughout the night from the nearby pubs.

Superb

Free breakfast (2 types of bread, butter and 2 types of jams, fruit, coffee, 2 types of tea bags, hot chocolate powder). Comfortable common areas. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is kept clean and tidy. The location is great. 6 minutes walk to the square and 5 minutes to the Lidl supermarket. Free milk. Free food and free shampoo/lotion left by other people. The 6-bedroom room has a relatively large space in the middle compared to other hostels.

There are several bars on the same street. Very noisy till 2-3am especially Thursday-Saturday. Make sure you have earplugs. Couldn't adjust shower flow and temperature, and while that was fine by me, the water only lasted 10-20 seconds. Also, the automatic light turns off every 5-7 minutes during the shower. So you have to keep holding down the button to get in the shower and waving your arms to get the light.

Short but enjoyable and comfortable.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is excellent. The room was laid out as expected, but very clean and comfortable. We had an en suite room which was good and the ceiling-mounted paintings were great. The informal breakfast was a lovely welcoming touch.

While we were happy to have / pay for an en suite room, the wash basin was so small that due to the placement of the soap dispenser right in the centre, it was difficult to wash your face without getting water everywhere. Similarly with the high pressure taps, waster splashed everywhere.

Superb

I was satisifed with the cleanliness of the room and well as the space in the room. Travelling with family members and everyone had enough of their "own space." The location of the hotel was also 10/10.

The ONLY thing that I would change is the fact that you have to pay to rent towels. I do understand it, but I wish it was an option that could have been added onto the bill when booking.

Great experience - the charming building, the cleanliness, extraordinarily friendly & helpful staff.

In the bathroom was one hand towel for a family of three. We made it work, but it was soaked and not very effective by mom, the third person. A larger towel or 2 or 3 a room designed for families would be much appreciated.

Cosy

The location is perfect, at the entrance of the city centre. The staff is enthusiastic and a member of the staff advice me to join the walking tour and gave me the necessary information. The kitchen exceed my expectations. There was everything, even food for free and a delicious homemade breakfast. It's always possible to drink a cup of tea or coffee. Beside the kitchen, there is a cosy and quiet sitting room with books, and a board with some recommendations (pubs, activities,...)

Best hostel with friendly inclusive staff

Honestly one of the best hostel experiences I’ve had during my whole trip starting with the staff on duty (Roni, Kenny, Kelly and Sasha) and filtering all the way down to the hostel itself. Beds are comfortable with individual sockets and enough space in the rooms for luggage. There’s a big kitchen and sitting area and everything is clean. Fantastic location!

Just a nice place to be

For starters, THE BEST free breakie. I didn't know what flapjacks were until I had them here, and MAN, they are great. The place was very clean, the bathrooms were nice and fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful. The social aspect was great, I found people very willing to chat in the kitchen and dorm. Wet Wednesday is also a great chance to have some social time if you're feeling a little lonely ;) They also played Noah Kahan, so big tick 😊

Could have hooks in the ensuite in the dorm, as there was nowhere to hang my towel inside.
