Overall Ratings & Reviews Kinlay Hostel Galway

I had a great stay at the Kinlay! Staff were friendly, the hostel was clean, great kitchen facilities and lots of opportunities to socialize with others if that is what you are looking for.

I was very tired when I arrived. The person at the desk noticed and let me check in early so thay I could sleep.

Was honestly my most favourite stay in Ireland for this trip. The hostel is super clean and quiet and the dining area is lovely. Would definitely stay again

Friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast!

I stayed two nights in this hustle; I recommend it if you do not have car. Clean, easy access, walkable. Nice stuff, Valerie and Amy helped me when I need to change my room, thanks!

I loved this hostel. It was my first time staying in this type of accommodation and it was a great place to start. Very social and the front desk staff was wonderful.

Near and central.

Arrived early and was able to leave luggage in the secure room. The lovely lady at reception helped me find all the best spots and gave her personal recommendations for the city. The hostel was mostly clean, apart from the showers which I think was more down the to guests rather than them. There were great facilities and a nice communal area. Bedrooms were comfortable with a privacy curtain on each bit, always a huge plus in a hostel! Each bed had its own light and plug/usb socket to charge overnight. Basic breakfast provided the next morning. Definitely would stay again

It was really nice.

Awesome hostel. More of a hotel than a hostel. We had a private room for 4. The rooms were clean, smelled fresh, the beds were on the firm side and comfortable for us, the pillows weren't flat but nice and comfy. Everything smelled and looked new. The breakfast had a lot of variety and very good. Parking is a block away and not free but discounted.

Friendly staff, right in the heart of Galway and just steps from trains, busses and rental car offices, perfect as a hub to explore the west. Also easy walking distance to shops, dining and tourist sites such as the Spanish Arch.

Very comfortable, clean, and quiet. We felt very safe. Nice breakfast. Just a short walk from the bus station.

Great Staff, very central place et very clean

The staff are very helpful and kind. There's a luggage room you can use too although be warned: you may need to play Tetris squeezing yours in. There were a ton of luggages in place. But the room itself was serviceable, but highly dependent on who you get as per usual hostel rules. Not great procedures if you're trying to avoid getting sick. I wore a mask to sleep once I heard 2 people coughing and I only had the curtain to shield myself. Breakfast options were fine. You get a good enough option to be happy to go about your way.

Once arrived very quick check in and info given for stay

First time staying in a hostel/shared room, the experience was rather pleasing. The only downside was that no towels were provided, towels cost 2€ at the front desk. Overall cleanliness was good, the service exceptional! Breakfast was included, very diverse and tasty. Another great thing was the Kinlay Pub Crawl, would definitely recommend participating – met a lot of great fellow travellers and had a great great time!

The bathrooms are clean, bunk beds are spacious with your own light & electric outlet & with curtain, beds are comfortable & nice clean beddings.

A large hostel in the city centre. Even on a Monday, there are drunk Irishmen coming and going at all hours. One guy slept naked after he passed out at 0500. Nice breakfast.

Wonderful Hostel for a few days stay. Clean and comfortable with well equipped large kitchen.

friendly kind clean breakfast👍😋 location Everything is perfect!! Thanks ❣️
