Man at front desk (did not catch his name) helped us get extra sheets. He also allowed us to grab breakfast as it was set up before the intended serving time because we had to leave early due to a tour.

Great location, right in the center of town. Very nice staff (especially Hugh). Nicest hostel I stayed at in Ireland. The beds were very nice. Plenty of room, decently comfy, and they even had privacy curtains. Showers were good.
Don't eat the breakfast food! It's substandard. The fruit was very bad, shocking that there were no visible signs of rotting because it tasted like crap. It's also way too expensive. I stayed in three hostels over the course of my Irish vacation, and I paid more for this one than the other two combined. Would've picked another if I could've found a cheaper option.

Great breakfast and location. Clean beds. I like the curtains on the bed, adds more privacy. Infact those bed curtains are everything.

This was our first hostel experience. We had 6 family members traveling together so thought the six bed room shared would be ideal. The location was perfect! The food and staff were wonderful! Everything was clean and easy to understand.
For the hard, but true.. the 6 bunk bed room was lovely as it had curtains to separate and its own outlet and light and lockers under the beds. The bathroom was tight and difficult to move the humidity out, therefore causing a very stuffy feel to the room- even with the window open. Having a floor fan was nice though. The beds were slightly hard for me (50 year old active fit mom that is a side sleeper)
Overall this was a great experience and I would stay here again as well as recommend it!
If I could offer any suggestions it would be for a table of sorts in the bathroom to set items on while showering

Shower water pressure was excellent, mattress really comfortable, receptionists super friendly
Wasn't expecting much because it's a hostel after all, but the breakfast is super basic FYI

Well located, wonderful staff, comfortable rooms and beds.
Could do with bathrooms in the halls as one bathroom for a full dorm is tough but overall wonderful experience here

The beds were super comfy, the shower’s water pressure was perfect, location close to the bus and train stations, and the staff super helpful with places to visit and eat at.
Breakfast could’ve have some ham or eggs for protein, but it’s a hostel at the end of the day so can’t expect too much!

The hostel was clean and had nice employees. Even though most of the hostels in the area are similarly priced, this one at least had lots of kitchen staples (salt, pepper, oil, pasta, rice). So it can feel like you're getting a little but more for your money.

Perfect location to visit Galway; everything is walking distance. The room was nice, clean and silent. Good breakfast.
We choose this hotel since the ad on booking said that parking was included. There is a parking but it is not included. You have to pay extra. This should be explained better on booking as it can be a misleading information.
Thank you for your information!
