Pleasant
The location. It is a hostel, but the best price for a one night stay in Galway. Had a double bed and private bathroom, no TV which was not needed.
It was fine, we knew what we were getting.

The person who was sleeping above me should consult with the doctor about his sleep apnea. This person kept me awake the entire night! Other than that it was a great hostel.

Sweetest staff, great kitchen and common room and nice to have bathroom/shower you only have to share with your dormmates. Will definately be back!

Amazing location, it's not too far from the main attractions but it is also just right outside the hustle and bustle where you can easily wind down away from the crowds. The free breakfast every morning is great and the garden common area is a really nice place to hang out in.
The bunk bends were fine but they are old and a little stiff. The whole room is smaller so it's crowded when everyone is accessing their safe at the same time.

We loved that there was parking outside (free outwith 6.30pm & 8.30am, paid otherwise). Very central to the city. Rooms very spacious. Staff lovely & attentive. Quick check in procedure.
Nothing, we loved it!
