The kitchen area. The chance to meet people there, talk to them and maybe start kind of a friendship.

I genuinely liked everything about the stay. William gave me an incredibly warm welcome, and all the important information had already been sent by email beforehand. He even took the time to write down some local highlights and tips for the area, which I really appreciated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was a great size. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe throughout my stay. The doors were secured with individual codes, and I could conveniently park my car right behind the house. I would absolutely book another stay anytime. By the way, the city center was just a short walk away, and there were shops and stores right around the corner.

I will start the explanation with the view that opens in front of this place. It's amazing. 😍 The hostel: nestled under the hill, beautifully laid out, clean and well maintained. The service: nice and kind Betty, explained everything about the accommodation and the services we can use. She even said there was complimentary coffee, tea and cereal. Free parking. Free WiFi. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare breakfast or dinner. I was the first to use the brand new kettle. Brand new toaster. A sitting room with a fireplace, lots of books, tables and a beautiful view. We chose a room for two with a private bathroom. Nice, warm, tidy and clean. Result: the price deserves the quality of service, of location, of services. Enjoy 🍀🍀🍀 PS: And again, Thank you Betty for everything! It was amazing, we will be back again!

My stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The entire experience was incredibly well-organized, and every staff member I encountered went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant visit. I want to give a special thanks to Valeria, the wonderful Italian receptionist, whose warm welcome and helpfulness made me feel right at home. During my stay, I accidentally left one of my earphones in the room. When I called the reception to check if it was found, Amy answered and was exceptionally efficient in assisting with the retrieval and arranging its delivery back to me. Her attentiveness and care were so reassuring. I’d also like to thank Matt and the rest of the team for their outstanding service and dedication. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, making this a truly memorable stay. 5 stars, highly deserved – I can’t wait to return

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.
