- Free safes for valuables are located by Reception (just bring along your own padlock, or you can purchase one from Reception)
- Our self-service laundry room features coin laundry, ironing and other services, (with laundry detergent provided for free).
- We offer free internet (with PC terminals for guests) and free Wi-Fi
- Almost all rooms (incl. dorms) are en suite with own private bathroom, and there are extra bathroom facilities on each corridor.

Sleepzone is the best-located hostel for NUIG, cinemas and shopping, Black Box venue, Town Hall Theatre and most of Galway’s best attractions.

Not only are we a great base for Galway – but we’re also great base for the wider West of Ireland: our partners offer discounted tours to The Cliffs of Moher & Connemara. They go every morning with pick-up at our front door.

Our staff are a mix of local and backpacker staff and they can give you the best of local and touristic perspectives on what’s on in the city and what to do and where to go in the West of Ireland . Our staff have insider knowledge which they can customise to your requirements; whether you’re looking for a crazy pub or a cosy pub, some Irish music or theatre, a comedy show – or some historical or cultural information.

Come and see for yourselves why Sleepzone has been consistently voted one of Ireland and Europe's (and in 2013 the World's !) leading hostels for the last fifteen years.

Good location, friendly staff, good kitchen, but that’s it. Not clean (dust everywhere, including on the bed frames, trash under the bed, dirty bathroom floors etc.). Showers were not functional as you had to keep pushing the button to keep them running, the drain was clogged and there was no privacy. Very old and kind of nasty mattress, smelly pillow, bunk bed almost fell apart whenever one person moved so it was hard to get a decent amount of sleep. No charging points next to most beds.

My stay was great was mostly great. Facilities and cleanliness weren't though. Only 2 outlets for a room of 6 people, and the sun roof in our room didn’t close all the way. Was lucky it didn’t rain. Also the bathroom on our floor(3) smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned, and the sheet showing the last time it was hadn’t been updated since January so it was really obvious.
