Convenient location near the center of Galway. Short walk to the shopping and restaurant district. The hostel was well kempt with friendly and accommodating staff. There is no parking at the hostel, but there are plenty of parking garage options nearby. The one negative is that the room with 4 beds was small with little space to maneuver in even when there was just 2 people present. For a one night stay as a solo traveler, it was well worth it for its central location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
There is a parking lot for the train just about 100 meters from the entrance that has overnight parking for €6.50. the staff was amazing and the group activities are absolutely worth doing for the experience. Great location in the city with tons of options around for whatever you could want to do. My only complaint would be that staying in a Hostel a lot of us were ready to check out by 6 or 7am and there is no way to self check out so we all were waiting around for several hours which did put a damper on my early morning plans.
