    All in all this is a really nice hostel, the only point I have to mention: if you are in Galway and you want to have a good night sleep, do not stay at Kinlay. It was very loud during the whole night. At 2 am there were still girls talking loudly on the corridor! Even when the security man came by, there was still a lot of noise (smashing doors, loud steps, voices, music). Compared to other hostels in Ireland, the breakfast was good, I loved that there were offered juices!
