Traveller reviews

“Family trip to Galway”
13 Jul 2025
The location was perfect, the hostel super clean and extremely well organised, the breakfast perfect for our needs, the staff extremely friendly, attentive and professional ... our family room was just what we needed and was surprisingly quiet! I really liked the layout in the very well-planned kitchen area and the lounge area. Also the free tea and coffee in the kitchen.

“Overall it was a good stay which provided all that was needed to be comfortable and functional.”
12 Jul 2025
It was very well set up. It had everything that a person needed which was great.

“Great location and great staff”
10 Jul 2025
Great location, staff where really nice. It was clean and good value for money. The included breakfast was a good perk.

“Superb”
06 Jul 2025
The staff are super friendly and helpful, the common areas are as clean as possible as the traffic is pretty high, and I have a good rest for most of 5nights, there was 1 night where the occupants of next room got rowdy but after I went to the reception, they came up to remind them it's 3am..things quiet down immediately.
