It's a very beautiful and artsy hostel. The people working there are friendly and ready to help. The parking was super easy and available. The beds were comfortable. And everything were tidy up and super clean. They have more amenities than other dorms I encountered. I would highly recommend it.

In our roadtrip this was the best hostel we booked in Ireland. It has a beautiful atmosphere and it's immersed in the nature. There were eggs, milk, cereals included for breakfast. The host was really adorable, she also washed all our clothes for free. So we definitely recommend this place if you are thinking to visit this area and you're travelling by car. It's a calm place also suitable for families, so you could find some children.

The bathrooms were very clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful. They had discounts with nearby businesses which when travelling on a budget is very helpful. In a great location, about 10 minutes walk from both Eyre Square, and Galway Cathedral (in opposite directions).

Extremely quaint hostel in a breathtaking location. Seemed like a lot of backpackers and other young travelers were staying there. Right across the street from a great pub and some good restaurants. Easy to access by bus but not much within walkable distance. Staff allowed us to drop off our bags before our check in time. Room and bathroom were clean.
