Had a relatively nice stay however they should mention it’s student housing during the school year so lots of students. Which is fine but wasn’t the vibe I was going for. Also the bar attached plays until about 11pm so found the area relatively noisy.

Great location to both bus and train stations, very cramped facilities starting at front door with 2 sets narrow stairs to reach tiny “office”, narrow hallways and toilet stalls barely big enough to turn around in. Hot room during day. Small in-room A/C unit goes on at 8PM and off at 8AM but needed to open small windows x 2 to cool off room of 5 people to be able to sleep. Small community kitchen/breakfast area/gathering spot. 95% clean - showers could have been better. Bunk beds were comfortable, safe facility.

"Galway and beyond."

10.0

Place was very friendly. Staff were very helpful especially Tom and Kerry.Very close to city, trains and buses.Also for trips to Aran islands. Not the cheapest of breaks but occasional bargains could be had. My bus home to Shannon and from Knock to Galway were outside the hostel,so no need to be anxious
