Good value for money

Very centric!

It was a group of teens and it was a little loud, but nothing to do with the property.

Muy básico.

La ubicación era muy buena y el desayuno estaba incluido. El personal muy amable.

Muy caro teniendo en cuenta que es una habitación compartida. No tiene enchufes suficientes para cada cama, por lo que tienes que decidir quién pone su móvil a cargar. No estaba limpio. Además, la ventana de la habitación estaba en el techo y no se podía cerrar completamente, por lo que entraba frío y, si hubiese llovido, agua.

Good location, not worth the pain or the price it entails.

The location

The quality of the beds. How many people per room. Value compared to a hotel.

Very good

I like that this location was close to everything going on in town, but removed enough so that the busyness did not affect this location. It felt very safe. The staff were excellent and accomodating.

The rooms were pretty hot. For nine people the space felt a bit cramped, doable though

My girls and I loved our first experience of hostelling in Ireland there

The location was central with easy access to restaurants, shops and the events of the Galway Arts Festival. I would've walked a hundred miles to enjoy the memorabilia of U2 and other Irish greats. Staff were cheerful and helpful despite their evident busyness and my kids felt welcome, the kitchen was spotless.

We guests had security keys but I noticed that the door was left on the latch,, possibly by guests, I dont know but it might compromise safety. It's a quibble really but in such a joyful atmosphere, I couldn't get with the grey sheets, blankets and towels! Why?? Just 😑 and in total contrast to the friendly, efficient vibe.

Good basic accommodation in central Galway - easy access to everything we wanted.

Great location for getting around Galway’s pub area - room was fine, comfortable beds, coffee and toast for breakfast a bonus! Staff were very friendly and helpful

Can’t say there was anything I didn’t like!

Cheap and Staff were nice

It was so noisy outside the hostel but can't be helped by the hostel.maybe a security guard at the door would help I didn't get a wink of sleep and I had to work the next day.

Great Location and great staff

Location was really great, they have breakfast included as well. The staff was really helpful as well. Overall had a good stay this days!

Not exactly about the property itself just didn’t like much the experience of sharing dormitories had a lot of problems sleeping this few nights that I’ve stayed.

Good

The property is in the city center, perfect to visit the city. The room was big and comfortable.

The staff did not give us the towels straight before going to the room. We had to ask later on before taking a shower.

Good

The kitchen was amazing. Loved the free coffee and tea. Location is perfect.

There were no curtains on the bedrooms. The fact the bathroom is inside the room doesn' t help sleeping... plugs near top bunk bed would be amazing
