This property is perfect for solo travelling! It was my first time in a hostel and I felt very safe the entire time. I met some great people while staying there:)
What a grand stay!! This was my first solo trip ever and i felt very safe, taken care of, and welcomed beyond my belief. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay- or better staff. I know y’all pay them extra to be kind to me ;) House on the water, boat in the window- the american dream baby. I love you Galway- & others. Mwuah!! -L
A Fantastic Hostel To Stay At. Very Clean. Wonderful staff. Beautiful Breakfast daily. Central to everything. Main Bus port straight opposite. Perfect storage. Able to have a bag of washing washed and dried cheaply.
Overall l thoroughly enjoyed My stay
The staff was very warm and friendly. Great options for things to do in the area and free breakfast and tea/coffee every morning. The kitchen smelled of delicious baked goods every afternoon I was there :)
Everything about this hostel was perfect.
Location, staff, the rooms, bathrooms.. Everything was great!! They've set the bar very high for the rest of my trip..!
Convenient location near the center of Galway. Short walk to the shopping and restaurant district. The hostel was well kempt with friendly and accommodating staff. There is no parking at the hostel, but there are plenty of parking garage options nearby. The one negative is that the room with 4 beds was small with little space to maneuver in even when there was just 2 people present. For a one night stay as a solo traveler, it was well worth it for its central location.
There is a parking lot for the train just about 100 meters from the entrance that has overnight parking for €6.50. the staff was amazing and the group activities are absolutely worth doing for the experience. Great location in the city with tons of options around for whatever you could want to do.
My only complaint would be that staying in a Hostel a lot of us were ready to check out by 6 or 7am and there is no way to self check out so we all were waiting around for several hours which did put a damper on my early morning plans.
The women running the hostel are very nice, friendly and great hosts in general. It was my first ever hostel experience and could not be happier. Thank you !
