Convenient location and comfortable
Very petite accommodation with a small bathroom and shower but water pressure was good. Bed was comfortable and the noise in the hallways died down early enough.

Really enjoyed a recent overnight break in the hostel for Christmas. Still the same with great staff, atmosphere etc. I had initially stayed a few weeks after it opened in 2016 and 2017 (during the winter months) when working in Galway and always enjoyed my time there. Congrats on all your hard work to keep the standards high and the awards achieved to date. Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and New Year and hope to see you soon again!
