Location great, clean, quiet, friendly reception, comfortable beds, good shower, good value.the room could be bigger but I suppose for a hostel it's normal. We were next door to main hostel and the common areas were lovely clean comfortable with living room and kitchen. A basic breakfast of nice brown bread jams tea and coffee making facilities and rock hard flapjacks. There a little shop nearby so we bought cereal etc and used our own kitchen day 2.
The room was stuffy, we were supposed to be 3 in a private 4 bed room but were only 2 as my son couldn't come. It would be a bit cramped for 4 people but probably normal for hostel accommodation.

I grew up in the hospitality business and worked for many years. You can always tell the quality of any premises by the cleaniness of the toilets. Here they scored a 10!!! Room was good. 6 bed mixed dorm. Breakfast was available although I checked out before hand. As I was leaving, there were a few trays of lovely home made flapjacks sitting on the bench cooling. It is centrally locate about 10 minutes walk from Eyre Square. Lidl close by as well as main night life of Galway.
Only criticism was the storage lockers under the beds. They were very noisy to pull in and out and a little snug. I was woken 4 times due to this. Also, they do not provide locks for the lockers. This is a simple thing to provide. Issue a lock and get a refundable deposit.

Double private room was quite quiet as it's in a separate building to the dorms (just next door). Very clean room and bathroom. Kitchen and sitting area clean and nicely decorated. Friendly staff. Great location. Amazing for the price, totally exceeded expectations.
In our ground floor room there was a "back door" (with privacy window) which led outside. Might be a plus if you smoke, but was a bit unnerving for us. There was a washing machine right outside our room, thankfully no one used it during our stay.

The Ground Floor Apartment is a lovely little two floor townhouse just down the street from the hostel. It was great for us, but I would caution anyone thinking this is a complete ground floor apartment that it is not and there are stairs to get to the bedrooms and bathroom. We had access to the facilities at the hostel if we wished, and the staff were present at the front desk 24/7 which was great. We enjoyed being on our own to explore. As this is a new apartment to the hostel (but an older home), we encountered a couple issues while staying there and the staff bent over backwards to get them resolved as quickly as possible. Emilio, Garrett and Donna were excellent at communicating when maintenance would be in to fix things. The set up is excellent for any length of stay with a full kitchen, laundry, living space, two bedrooms and bathroom. Towels were provided in the apartment as well as all linens. We did not have to bring anything with us.
It would have been nice not to have any issues, but the way the staff and manager handled the situation was excellent and appreciated. If this is their level of customer service when problems arise by no fault of anyones, then you cannot ask for better than that.

Great stay! Free complimentary breakfast that I could use to upgrade my brekkie. The kitchen was perfectly fine and plenty of space to sit-down. Great place to meet new people and to get into the city. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Plenty of showering and toilet facilities, which were quite often cleaned.
Lots of school groups, that took over the space a little bit, but that is nothing they could probably do about. The locker situation wasn't the greatest, but fine enough.

A big bonus was a small breakfast which I didn't get to at 9:00 (must have been a lot of people), but the next day at the same time everything was available. Nice design wherever it is applied The room had its own bathroom, very convenient. The welcome drink with water and lemon was a plus.
Something somewhere was dripping all night, interfered with sleep, of course apart from the neighbours who who at what time of night comes (but these are the disadvantages of any hostel.

Free breakfast (2 types of bread, butter and 2 types of jams, fruit, coffee, 2 types of tea bags, hot chocolate powder). Comfortable common areas. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is kept clean and tidy. The location is great. 6 minutes walk to the square and 5 minutes to the Lidl supermarket. Free milk. Free food and free shampoo/lotion left by other people. The 6-bedroom room has a relatively large space in the middle compared to other hostels.
There are several bars on the same street. Very noisy till 2-3am especially Thursday-Saturday. Make sure you have earplugs. Couldn't adjust shower flow and temperature, and while that was fine by me, the water only lasted 10-20 seconds. Also, the automatic light turns off every 5-7 minutes during the shower. So you have to keep holding down the button to get in the shower and waving your arms to get the light.

Wonderful stay! The beds were comfy and the bathroom and kitchen was clean! The lounge room was also very nice and considerate of different needs of travellers. They wash and dry a generous load of laundry for 8€. The receptionist we spoke to was quite knowledgeable about tours and events in the area
My only criticism is our room consistently had a weird smell from our arrival which kept recurring, the pillows were a bit flat

Lovely staff, GREAT location near to the main amenities and lots of craic pubs around to gather people around. The Christmas Market is only 5 min-walk away from the hostel. Simple but delicious breakfast with homemade flapjacks and soda bread everyday from 7 to 10. Tea, coffee and chocolate all day long. There's a living room where you can meet interesting people and have a chill chat while sitting on the armchairs.
Unfortunately my room was colder than I expected (dunno if they were not working or were not turned on...) and I was sleeping on my bed right next to the windows. In the living room there was a bookshelf piano, I would rather it to be a proper piano because we artists and musicians love a piano at a place we're staying. That's a great way to gather around people and meet each other. Besides all, my stay was wonderful. X

It is very close to the city centre. I was warmly received by the woman at the reception desk. I always judge a country or hotel from the point of entrance/reception desk. The hotel environment- room, corridors, canteen kitchen, and toilet, hotel walls, and ceiling meet the quality and health and safety standards of HSA. Fresh and non-fresh food storage also meets food safety standards as required by the Irish and EU regulations. Healthy surrounding environment. It is like a home, very clean and comfortable.
