Nice hostel close to the center of town and near bus and train station. Rooms and toilets are clean and in good working order. Shower is on a timer that needs to be activated continuously to have a shower. Overall a nice little hostel.

I really enjoyed staying at Sleepzone in Galway. I was alone but meeting other people was easy there! The staff is very nice and you can easily get everywhere in Galway by foot. I can only recommend it to everyone staying in Galway!

Nice big kitchen and seating area, just a quick walk to the main town centre. Overnight parking is a 5 minute walk away

I really loved to stay at Sleepzone! The team is extremely kind and disposable, the hostel is nearby the station of buses and trains and of course to the city center, and it is clean and comfortable. The only "problem" is the absence of soap in the toilettes, whereas is quite common to find it in hostels... But that's not a serious problem, and I think I'd come back to Sleepzone again and again.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. If there was a problem at any point they did everything they could right then and there to fix it. The kitchen is great. Very modern and they had all the utensils you'd need to make a great meal

Nice hostel, but small bathrooms. And it would be cool to have free breakfast.

Lovely and clean with plenty of space in the room and a well-maintained ensuite. Beds were comfy and it was quiet inside the room, despite the hostel being well-occupied for May Day weekend. Very large kitchen with multiple stoves/ovens/microwaves and lots of fridge and cupboard space. Nice little relaxation areas. Staff were very helpful. Location is close to the centre of town but just far enough away that it's not noisy.

The shower in the room you had to keep your hand on the button. Also i have been double charged for the room and i still have not bee refunded my money which is a joke.

All our showers are push-button showers. This is for water conservation purposes and it's becoming the norm as best practice. Also we've checked our records and there has been no double charge here . There was - as is standard practice - a pre-authorisation of the guest's card on the morning of arrival to validate it. Pre-auths expire within 24-48 hours.

Sleepzone was centrally-located in Galway, it was clean, and the staff was helpful. It was a bit loud at night as people came in from the pubs, but it wasn't unbearable at all.

A great little hostel, very clean and well-maintained. My group had a private room with two bunk beds, and it was just what we needed. Perfect for a stay in Galway!

Not enough plug sockets in the bedrooms. Or they are far too high in the wall to use.
