The person who was sleeping above me should consult with the doctor about his sleep apnea. This person kept me awake the entire night! Other than that it was a great hostel.

"Really nice, would have loved to stay longer."

9.0

Amazing location, it's not too far from the main attractions but it is also just right outside the hustle and bustle where you can easily wind down away from the crowds. The free breakfast every morning is great and the garden common area is a really nice place to hang out in.

The bunk bends were fine but they are old and a little stiff. The whole room is smaller so it's crowded when everyone is accessing their safe at the same time.

L'espace extérieur (petite cour) Mini cuisine supplémentaire dans l'autre bâtiment. Chambre spacieuse et pratique. Merci à Lucas le stagiaire qui parlait français et nous a permis un check in facile. Proche du centre

Salle commune trop petite. Cuisine commune devrait être rafraîchit ( plan travail et mur usés) Clef de la chambre 25F fonctionnait très mal, beaucoup difficulté pour ouvrir et fermer la chambre. Nous avons subit une fuite d'eau au niveau du plafond, nous l'avons signalé au personnel qui était très embarrassé, cette dernière à appeler immédiatement le manager qui devait se déplacer et qui n'est jamais venu, sa réponse fut nous pouvons les rembourser ( mais nous devions partir). Comment trouver une autre chambre ailleurs ? Sachant qu'il n' y en avait pas de disponible sur place. Obligé donc de rester ! Seul intervention du jour un seau en-dessous de la fuite avec des serviettes. Le technicien devait intervenir le lendemain mais celui ci est venu 2 jours après. Nous en avons eu connaissance par mail. Nous trouvons cela déplorable et lamentable. La direction aurait quand même pu faire un geste commercial pour le désagrément.

7.0

l emplacement est idéal pour visiter la ville chambre suffisante pour un court séjour

A Galway, difficulté pour régler l'emplacement des parkings, manque d'explications clairs et de praticité pour payer le stationnement
