Cute spot, great spaces for working and thoughtful free add-ons such as water and tea in the common area downstairs. Close enough to take a stroll into downtown or also some of the coffee shops and pubs closer to Salthill.

One of the main reasons we chose this property was the listed on-site parking. They did not tell us this early on, but the parking is first come, first served. There are only 4-5 spaces for cars and one additional accessible spot. They filled up quickly and when we got back from town that night and asked the woman at the front desk for advice on where we could go to park, she was very snippy with us. It would be helpful to let guests know parking is not guaranteed and have options displayed for where else to find parking if not in the hotel’s 4 spaces.

Staff were fantastic, friendly and accommodating. The shared kitchen is a wide open space to use, and was not at all cramped at any point. The rest area where you can grab a beverage, chat with others, was quiet with a radio playing chilled songs. There was information/guidance regarding things to do in Galway, I.e. best pubs to go to, what's on etc Room had all what was needed, mini fridge was a bonus. Access to Galway centre, is literally a 1 minute walk from the door to the bus stop. 1 euro 90 to be exact. Sometimes we had a driver who let us on for free! The best pub by far in my eyes was O'Connor's bar, located on the same side as the hostel, left towards upper-salthill road. This serves the best Guinness I've ever had, and Murphy's if you're interested. Live entertainment was great too.

I'll let you know in the future 😉

I tried a hostel for the first time and it was actually a lot better than I expected. The two staff I met on the two days were so friendly and helpful. A kitchen facility for cooking, free tea and coffee throughout the day and the location is perfect, in walking distance to Galway and 2 minute walk to the beach on Salthill.

I checked out 2 days early and couldn’t get refunded, little bit of a waste. Also I should have requested the bottom bunk, the person underneath me smelled so bad, he smelled so bad that I literally could not sleep from the absolutely stink off him, felt like all my clothes would have that stinch if I didn’t leave the hostel straight away. No fault of the hostel though, just very annoying. I don’t think I could stay at a hostel again but great experience.

A comfy hostel, directly at the coast. It came with everything you need, including a spacious kitchen and a cozy lobby to hang out and read. The beds were unexpectedly comfy and even had curtains (they didn't on the pictures). The hostel offered towels and other necessities. If you had any questions the staff was happy to help you out. On top of that they had great recommendations regarding activities in and around Galway.

No big lockers in the room. If you come with a huge bag there are only a few lockers in the lobby downstairs.

Loved my stay here, so friendly and helpful, great facilities. The kitchen was great, I was able to self cater quite a bit to help costs. My dorm room was clean, well set out, own bathroom for the 6 guests. Very good shower, modern and clean, new hand towels supplied each day in bathroom. The cafe and social area were relaxing places to be. I had the breakfast in house the first morning, which was a great start while finding my feet. Great grocery store over the road, treat yourself but still spend less than meals out every day. I was also able to get some washing done. Salthill is a great location, in walking distance to Latin Quarter and Galway centre.

Everything was great, no complaints

Friendly staff, clean and quiet private room, nice kitchen and cafe, ample luggage storage, delicious chai tea. Recommend opting in for their breakfast options the day before to save some money if eating on site. The staff were very accommodating, letting us store our luggage before check in and helping us call our tour bus. The beds, like most of the places we stayed in Ireland, aren't soft, but we still slept soundly.

It's a good location if you're wanting to vacation in Sand Hill, but if spending time in the city center, it's too far. Buses weren't on time in Galway, so sometimes we just walked the half an hour in from town.

Great location, clean and comfortable facilities, a short walk away from the gorgeous Salthill Promenade and close enough to the city centre (30 mins walk). Bus stop is right outside the hostel to take you to the city centre too, €1.90 fare in either Leap card or cash (debit/credit card not accepted on the bus as of the date of this review). Hostel has a kitchen if you want to make your own tea or coffee. Friendly staff who greeted us with a smile after our 3 hour drive. Room was a little small for 2 people but manageable and ok for a short stay. There’s a little table and fridge. Loved the fairy lights. Parking wasn’t a problem either!

Honestly, everything was fine. It would be better if the room was a little bigger to accommodate bulky luggages but as we only stayed for a night it was fine!

The staff were very friendly. The beds were some of the most comfortable on our whole trip. The room was small but cute, had a mini fridge and nice shower. The kitchen and dining areas were also super cute, well appointed and much appreciated. Lots of seating and tables to hang out, even had some board games. Beautiful 15-20 minute walk along the bay to Galway city center or just a few minutes drive.

The parking lot only has room for 4 or 5 cars and was always full. There was plenty of street parking a block away. Make sure you ask where to park though bc some of the street parking is paid. It was a bit noisy but they did offer earplugs.

The room was spotless! The hostel was located right next to the beach and only a short walk into town everything was perfect for our weekend away. The second morning we paid for breakfast as we had a earlier flight. It was great value for money and everything was refilled every 10 minutes or so by staff to make sure there was a great selection the warm croissants were our personal favourite.

Nothing it was great! It was nicer and cleaner than most hotels we’ve stayed in and might be our favourite hostel!

I booked a private room, so I can't speak to the dorm experience, but my room was huge with a king sized bed, which was wonderful after the closet I slept in London. My room was immaculate and super quiet, I couldn't hear other guests or road noise; it also had a mini fridge which was a rarity in Ireland and UK hotels, and since I was traveling with medication that had to be kept cold, that was so convenient instead of having to ask the front desk to hold it in their refrigerator. It was just a couple blocks to the ocean and a 20 min walk to town. I had an easy check in experience and the whole place felt more like a boutique hotel, but with bigger rooms. Also has a nice little cafe/breakfast bar.

Nothing, it was a great 2-night stay, except perhaps the cafe staying open a bit later than 3 pm, especially for later arrivals.
