We stayed in Ireland for a little over a week, and had the opprotunity to stay at several different hostels. We were extremely fortunate to come across the Galway City Hostel and stay there for two nights. It was everything we wanted and needed from a hostel. FREE TEA AND INTERNET, good people, good times.

I had an amazing experience at Galway City, especially since I traveled solo. Staff was EXTREMELY helpful and friendly and the code to the dorms changed every day and you buzzed in for security. It was right across from the train and the bus and only a two minute walk to the main shopping/bar scene. Would definitely stay here again.

Brilliant Location!! Had trouble using the wireless in my room, but no big deal. Easy enough to hang out in the common room and use it in there, or the PC's. Would stay there again and highly recommend this hostel.

Excellent place to stay for the money. Few female toilets and showers but didn't seem to be a problem. Kitchen is nice but VERY small. Only 1 or 2 cooks at most. Staff very friendly and place very safe. Would stay here again. Close to everything in Galway.

It is a very nice hostel with a grea location. One thing which was kind of weird was that the staff play really loud heavy metal music until 11 o clock at night.

Hostel located near everything you need: bus station, tourist information, Eyre Square, pubs, etc. The staff was helpful and friendly. The dorm was nice, not too small, but there were only was plug in the room. The toilets and showers were far from the room (they were on a different floor). The common room is in the kitchen and it is quite small.
