The accommodation was located right next to a beautiful beach. The place was fun to live in. The people I met were amazing and very interesting. The room spacious and everything worked. Cleanliness was exceptional. Facilities were first class.

The staff is super friendly and helpful, there's always a smile for guests 😀 The rooms and bathrooms are clean and everyone seemed very respectful both in dormitories and common areas. The common space is amazing, there's a kitchen with everything you might need and a big table that's perfect to enjoy your meals while having a coat with other travelers. Cushions by the windows to sit back and relax are just great and there are books and games to play! Always water and tea available. I had my best time in Galway, will definitely come back!!

Everything. My first ever stay in a hostel so I was a bit weary. If all hostels are like this, their reputation would be very different. I was very kindly greeted and registered at the desk, the staff were exceptionally nice (and I'd had a bad day so it was extra appreciated), it was clean, they served breakfast and the communal spaces are pretty cool. The rooms came with an ensuite toilet and bathroom. Would recommend 100%.

I am a graduate of NUIG and it was lovely to be able to host a American student I am mentoring on campus. Very accessible to Eyre Square and many of the special sites unique to Galway City.
