This is one of the better hostels I have ever visited. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location is very central for getting around the area. The rooms were very nice. They could have been a bit bigger but never the less they were clean all the time. It would be nice to stay there even for a longer time. (Comment by Craig)

This is a nice and clean hostel. It's not the biggest one but it has great and helpful staff. The dorms are small and so is the kitchen for self-catering, but we had no real problems because we managed our cooking well. There's a friendly atmosphere, great people to meet and its central location gives guests enough possibilities to travel around.

Years ago we were here and it was a nice place to stay. Now there's a new management and the hostel has improved a lot because of the new staff. The staff are great, helpful and funny people. The price for staying here could be a bit less, but we payed what they asked for. Still, it's a basic place but always a very clean and cozy one. That's what we asked for and we got it.

I have traveled a lot and visited many hostels — this was one of the nicest. It has a great staff and cozy atmosphere. What it lacks in space it makes up for in friendliness and personality. I found lots of interesting people to talk to during my stay, because although the hostel isn't the biggest it's well frequented by travelers from around the world.

This is a very nice place this. It has little to offer in added comfort, but the staff makes up for it well. They are flexible, friendly and creative, and they give you good tips. The TV room could be bigger, and the dorms are maybe bit too basic, but the guests make the atmosphere rock. I would recommend this place to all who want their money's worth, and for sure to those who intend to stay here a longer time. It's a good place, and I made many a friend here in two weeks time.

This is one of the better hostels I've ever visited. Very basic, maybe, but with a very friendly and charming staff. The dorms are small but comfortable, and are kept very clean. It has a nice TV room and a rather flexible staff. The kitchen is not big, but it's well assorted. The location, near the Spanish Arch and the Tourist Office, makes it very easy to stroll through Galway and always be close, nevertheless, to the hostel.
