Yarid, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfectly located in the center of Galway, next to the train and coach stations. Lack of common room is largely compensated by the friendliness and support of the staff.

James, 3-night trip

The Galway City Hostel was in a perfect location near the main shopping area and bus station but surprisingly quiet inside. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The facilities were very clean and the breakfast they provided was yummy.

Great stay, but far from cheap

great location, very nice breakfast, friendly staff, all very clean. But also you pay for it - it's one of the most expensive hostels around, and this was February

Hareesha, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect spot by Eyre Square. All attractions are in walking diatance including the Latin Quarter & Galway Cathedral! The staff really make you feel like family! High recommend.
Jorge, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice spot. Staff were very friendly and helpful when I asked for some local options. Breakfast was provided which was a nice surprise. Beds had individual curtains around the bunks, which my previous hostel did not. The additional privacy was welcomed. Parking options were a little bit of a walk, but manageable if you require it like I did. Would stay again.

Was met with a very warm welcome by the worker at the check in desk. Clean, comfy bed. Was room is a good size. Even though I didn't really use the common area, it was well equipped and a good size for the size of the hostel. It's location is perfect for exploring the city. Would highly recommend a stay here.
