Great staff, lovely atmosphere
Nice comfy bed
No noise insulation at all, so even if quiet we woke up quite a few times during the night.

La camera era deliziosa, pulita e comoda. La colazione buonissima e con due diverse opzioni di prezzo. Il centro di Galway si può raggiungere in 20 minuti a piedi o con il bus. La struttura si trova a 5 minuti dal mare.

Le côté convivial avec la cuisine partagée à disposition, ce qui permet de ne pas aller tout le temps au restaurant. Il y a juste à côté un magasin où l’on trouve de très bons produits frais , et des plats préparés etc… la proximité de la mer ( 5’ à pied ) est appréciable
Les petites lumières au plafond qui m’ont dérangée .

We loved our stay at the Nest! Fantastic value, lovely spacious room, clean room and bathroom, and friendly staff. Great location too.
Our bed was very noisy/squeaky - we kept waking one another up whenever either of us moved! The corridor was also a bit noisy - but there are earplugs available from reception, so next time I would just get a pair of those. Neither would put me off staying again - overall we loved our stay.

Everything you need is there and has a coffee shop on site.
30min walk to city centre and limited parking for all guests.

Freundlicher und unkomplizierter Check-in. Alles top sauber. Einrichtung kpl. Gebäude ansprechend. Parkplatz vor der Haustür. Stadtkern fußläufig, aber auch per Bus (1,90€ pro Fahrt) und Taxi (ca. 8€) gut zu erreichen. Kult-Pub (O'Connors), Whiskey-Destillerie (Micil) und Strand direkt vor der Haustür.
Nichts zu beanstanden.

This is a very nice hostel, rooms are nice and spacious (i was in a 7 bedroom), with electrical plug near every bed. There is a nice shower in the room. They have a 6€ laundry machine.
And the kitchen is very nice !
I didn't meet many people there, but maybe it was just the moment
It's a bit far from the center, but in 15-20min walk you're in the center

Simple but stylish, and very clean. Great location in Salthill, near pub and restaurants and the prom. Comfortable beds. Fridge in room. Eco showers that need a button push every 30 seconds or so, which I don't mind in the interest of conservation. There is an elevator.
Nice cafe downstairs. And the exceptionally well equipped kitchen is open to guests! A real bonus to those travelling on a budget or with special dietary requirements.
Staff were kind and helpful when we enquired about late parking.
We were in the twin room right next to the dorm. The doors are heavy with keys that need to be turned 4 times (very noisy). The dorm room had people entering and leaving noisily very late at night and also from 6am. This made it hard to sleep. Also the room was very warm. An upgrade to card entry to rooms would be a great move I think. And a simple plug-in fan for summertime.

Can hear the traffic from our room.

The room was super pretty, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the showers were super clean and big and bright. The furnishing was just perfect.
The wifi connection was pretty bad sometimes.

Great location, within walking distance to Galway centre. The place was very nice, had a cafe downstairs and a kitchen for guests to use.
There was not much parking available - we had to park in a car park further away.

Lift up to room. Tea making facilities available.
Lucky with parking right outside.
Not a big fan of attic room, feels very closed in.
Also pricey considering it is basically a hostel.
5.0
It's a very beautiful and artsy hostel. The people working there are friendly and ready to help. The parking was super easy and available. The beds were comfortable. And everything were tidy up and super clean. They have more amenities than other dorms I encountered. I would highly recommend it.
The noise among the people stay at the dorms. Ideally it would have been good to suggest hours that people can talk loudly or making noise generally.

Funky style, lovely cafe area, friendly staff
Short time in which to use the kitchen ourselves in the morning

Location was right near the water and lots of shops and places to eat! Super cute, very clean.
Bathroom was a little tight and shower took a little getting used to but otherwise it was perfect!
