(Eyre Square)
 "Galway City Hostel is by far the best located hostel we've come across. It's directly across the road from the bus and train station -- it doesn't get any better than that. This is great hostel. Security is top notch -- you have to be buzzed in, they will request hostel ID as you pass the reception desk, and they provide big lockable baskets that roll under the beds for your backpacks. This...
 "The Claddagh Hostel is located in the heart of Galway, just off of Eyre Square, in a quiet part of the city. It's about a one-minute walk to the Train and Bus stations and three blocks from the main Tourist Info Centre. The common room is very clean, cozy, and bright due to its large bay windows. It has a wide screen television, comfortable couches, and a few computers where Internet...

 "Nice hostel in the centre of the city. Easy to get to, and plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Worth a visit if you are in the area." … "The staff are very friendly, the rooms are ok and the beds and bathroom are fine, but it was a real rabbit warren.... to find my room and exit the building!! Good kitchen and common room. I enjoyed it there. You must make sure you visit theArran...

 "I have travelled through all of Ireland and visited many hostels - this one was definitely my favourite one! Friendly stuff there, nicest and cheapest hostel in Galway. They put candles out in the evenings and we even had free muffins..." … "The staff was great! What it lacks in space it makes up for in friendliness / personality / family-like quality. And the muffins were exquisite,...
(Woodquay)

I will definitely be back if ever I am in Galway again." … "I have visited hundreds of hostels across Europe, and the Salmon Weir hostel in Galway is by far the best. Its excellent, welcoming...
(St. Mary's College)
By Road: Bus Eireann - Countrywide services to Galway. From the Train/Bus station, it is 2km to the youth hostel.

By car or bike: Follow the R336 towards Claddagh, turning right onto the R337 and then right again...
 "This is a good hostel, not expensive and well located. It's a great place to meet new people. It offers a kitchen for guests, it has a common room with sofas, and they give you a clean towel for a shower for just one euro. The rooms are comfortable and big enough, clean, and most of them have six beds. The only problem would be the timetable for the hot water! It's only on until 9 or 10 p.m....
 "This hostel which opened in 2006 is a home from home. It is a three storey house in a residential area. The hostel is run by a young American guy who decided to move to Galway. Each guest is given a key to the front door. The ground floor consists of a living/dining area with a kitchen attached. A bookshelf with books magazine etc is available for guests to enjoy. Breakfast of tea or...
 "This may be a school but it's in a good location. It's within a short walking distance to Eyre Square and the parking is brilliant." … "It's a school prison. It has parking—that's its only asset." … "This hostel was a high school, so it's not very attractive. It is not on the bus route, but it's halfway between Salthill and Eyre Square. It's okay but there are better places. It's...
