Overall Ratings & Reviews The Nest Boutique Hostel

Was a decent hostel, was on the ground level by the door so we heard a lot of in and out noise throughout the night, not ac and was really hot in the room for sleeping with the window open it didn’t help. Room was clean and big, pillows were very thin

Nice place in a walkable neighborhood with lots of restaurants, access to the beach near the light house

I’m not a hostel person at all but I had a great stay at The Nest - the staff were friendly and helpful, everything was clean, beds were super comfy, and most importantly it was quiet!

This is not an ordinary hostel, it is a great hostel with room like a hotel room.

The place was clean, very well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a great deal and food was good. Location was great! Ample street parking. Laundry facilities available for fee with detergent available to use. While still a social place, this hostel seemed to suit the non-traditional hostel goers quite well.

Great stay, close to water

This was my first time staying in a hostel and I must say I really enjoyed staying at The Nest, a very funky place, very clean and quiet, parking for my rental car and many shops, pubs and restaurants in walking distance. The ladies I met in the 6 person, women only dorm room were so nice and respectful of privacy and space, but also engaging if you wanted to have a chat. The bunks, mine upper, were cozy, yet roomy with curtains to draw if you wanted privacy, beds, blankets and pillows were comfy. I ordered the breakfast included, which was really good, with a French press for coffee, cheese, yogurt, cereal, toast, fruit etc. The Nest is located in an area over the bridge from the main town of Galway called Salt Hill, buy the water with a beach, Galway is a half hour walk, beautiful on a nice day. Salt Hill has many shops, restaurants and pubs, I wandered over to one for live music, very cool inside. The town of Galway is a must. I would highly recommend the Nest as a great hostel to stay in as a 61 year old woman I was apprehensive, but had the best time!

Excellent location, clean facilities and fast check in. Room waa comfortable and quiet.

Clean. Comfortable bed. Beautiful decor. Check-in was friendly and fast

Nice clean room. Basic but good breakfast. Friendly helpful staff great location so close to bus route and the beach!

Excellent stay, impeccable facilities and top tier hostel. The staff were so warm and welcoming, ensuring that I had a comfortable stay. Exceeded all of my expectations !

Fantastic and affordable. The Nest exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities along with the double room was gorgeous, modern, cozy and clean. Bus stop from town literally at the door step, and the one going towards the city centre only a couple of minutes away. Cannot recommend this enough, would definitely stay again!

Excellent choice if you want to come to Galway but not be if the more hectic city centre, right by the coast. Space was clean and comfortable and great value for money.

The Nest was very clean and staff excellent. Room was very comfortable, breakfast was adequate with exceptional brown bread.

I didn’t spend much time here other than sleeping, showering, and eating breakfast, but it was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

Room was good for a night. Small bathroom so a bit hard to move round but overall had everything we needed.

Quirky decor, for a hostel 5/5 stars

Amazing stay! Such a good deal! Cozy facilities and very comfortable bed. Clean and quiet area with very accessible dining options and short distance walk to the water. Definitely stay here!

Really welcoming, warm and well presented hostel. Clean and spacious bathroom in female dorm and room also had a table/bench for doing hair/makeup which is a nice touch. Bunks have privacy curtain and nice linen. Some parking is available onsite which is awesome.

Cute & quiet little property. Nice rooms
