Great location, very kind staff, very clean (and from a professional cleaner in a hostel that's very high praise) 🙂 Cozy atmosphere. Met a nice kitty cat named Ginger on the outside terrace. Loved the overall design of the hostel. Wish I could have stayed longer 🥺

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.
