  Truly amazing

  Liked: Had to book a night unexpectedly in Galway and that hostel was the closest option I had. I went there not knowing how it would be and it became one of my favourite stay at a hostel. Bathroom are great and clean, and they provide towels and shampoo for free. The beds with curtains provided lots of privacy. The staff was extremely welcoming and nice. I would recommend this hostel and would definitely come back next time I'm in Galway.

  Liked: lovely communal area, well-equipped and clean kitchen, good curtains on beds

  Disliked: no full-size lockers in the dorms, no efficient ventilation strategy in the bathroom so it was moist and wet all over with no supplies for us to keep it clean throughout the day & lacking hooks and hanging options
