    I had an amazing time staying at this hostel in Galway City. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it easy to meet new people. I loved the €2 dinners and pub crawls that provided fun opportunities to socialize. The six bed female dorm I stayed in was clean and well-equipped with plugs and lights by each bed. The private showers and toilets were a huge plus too. I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable stay in Galway.

    The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city. I loved how everything I needed as a traveler was within walking distance. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing me with all the information I needed. The fact that each bed had its own plug-in and light was a great convenience. It made charging my devices and reading at night so much easier. the hostel had a clean and tidy atmosphere, from the bathrooms to the common areas.

    I honestly couldn't find anything to dislike about my stay at this hostel. Everything exceeded my expectations, from the service to the amenities.

    As a satisfied guest, I had a wonderful experience at this centrally located hostel. The friendly staff warmly welcomed me and ensured my satisfaction throughout my stay. The room was well-equipped with a comfortable bed, plenty of windows, and a lockable cage to store my luggage. The clean and well-stocked toilets, wash basins, and showers were a plus, with seating and a great shower head. The kitchen was fully equipped, but I enjoyed their excellent vegan evening meals. The inclusive breakfast offered a wide variety of options for vegans and vegetarians. The hostel also had a cozy common area with books, games, guitars, and local knowledge.

    Couldn't recommend more this hotel.

    A Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere

    During our stay at the hostel, we were greeted with warmth and friendliness right from the start. The staff members made an effort to engage in conversation and provide helpful recommendations throughout our stay. The communal areas were well-decorated and created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We felt like we were part of a big family as the residents were encouraged to mix and socialize with each other. Evenings were especially sociable, with the hostel "family" often going out together to explore the city's nightlife.

    great value for money with comfortable beds and a clean bathroom in the 16 bed dorm. The location is fantastic, close to everything in town, and the staff were friendly and helpful, even sending my forgotten coat to me in Dublin.

    The breakfast offerings could have had more vegan options for the bread toppings.

    During our stay at Galway City Hostel, we had a great time connecting with people from all over the world in the bustling living room. The location is fantastic, close to all types of transportation and the tourist center. The breakfast provided was perfect, and the staff at the reception were incredibly helpful. We also had the opportunity to enjoy a delicious dinner cooked by the hostel for only 2 euros in the common room, a fantastic option for those on a budget. I highly recommend staying at this hostel for a budget-friendly and sociable experience.

    I recently stayed at this lovely hostel in Galway for an extended period of time as a student. The homely atmosphere and friendly staff made it a comfortable place to study. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and the breakfast selection was impressive. I especially loved the freshly baked wholemeal soda bread. The location was perfect, right next to the train station and central to everything. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a cozy and convenient stay in Galway.

    Would be happy to recommend this hostel.

    During my recent stay at a hostel in Galway, I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient location of the property. Being near the city center and the coach station made exploring the city so much easier. Additionally, there was a great supermarket nearby, which was convenient for grabbing any essentials I needed.

    While there were a few drawbacks, such as some noise from the pub downstairs and the bunk beds being a bit loud, overall, my stay was enjoyable. The hostel could benefit from more toilets on the floor, as at times they were not as clean as I would have liked.
