"I have been traveling around Europe for 3 months. This is one of the best hostel in Europe so far (from my experience). I mean over all the best. Friendly staffs and service mind. The room is good size and the kitchen maybe small but it's ok. The location is awesome because it just right at the centre. The restroom is enough The night shift man is so kind to me as i have to leave early morning and i am going to missed my breakfast so he just went to the kitchen and packed me some breakfast.SO kind. because some place they don't care but this is what is hospitality business is all about. Caring, service mind and flexible to make your customers have the best experience with you. Thanks guys. "

"The staff was wonderful, was very clean and the design/decor was very cool. For a hostel, it wasn't that noisy either besides hearing your neighbors come home at night, but otherwise it was fine and got quiet again after they settled in. Also a wonderful perk was free breakfast with coffee and tea every morning, they had a great spread!!! My husband and I stayed in a double en-suite studio which was very clean and adorable. Our only word of caution perhaps, is that the room was so small the bathroom was literally right next to the head of the bed and the door to the bathroom doesn't close completely (leaves about an inch of space as it's a sliding door). So, you get REAL up close and personal when your roomie needs to use the toilet. It was actually pretty funny, but if anyone has concerns about that maybe ask the staff ahead of time if there is an en-suite room that's a bit more spread out. Overall we had a wonderful stay!!"

"We were with our two little ones in a family room. A lovely hostel with very friendly and helpfull staff. It maybe could do with a little touch up, but it all adds to its charm. Would definitively stay there again when visiting Galway! Paid parking at the front, but big parking lot at 2 minutes walk for only 5 euro's per day."

Its location is very central being very close to Eyre Square and shopping streets. This hostel is ideal for backpackers or people on low budgets."
