Lets start with the positive: modern and new hostel. The common area was spacious, luminous, confortable. The handed us towels wich was a nice touch. Breakfast was lovely, they had pancakes, yogourt and fruit cups… On the other hand, no elevators, so if you have big luggages it can be a challenge. The configuration of the room when there is 12 people in it, is not practical. There is not enough space, its lacking practical Space, hooks, shelves… Also, there was only two bathroom for 12 people on this floor. There were also very very nice. There was no where to get prepared. But they did provide hair dryer, straightener if needed. Walking distance to everything

Had a relatively nice stay however they should mention it’s student housing during the school year so lots of students. Which is fine but wasn’t the vibe I was going for. Also the bar attached plays until about 11pm so found the area relatively noisy.

Great location to both bus and train stations, very cramped facilities starting at front door with 2 sets narrow stairs to reach tiny “office”, narrow hallways and toilet stalls barely big enough to turn around in. Hot room during day. Small in-room A/C unit goes on at 8PM and off at 8AM but needed to open small windows x 2 to cool off room of 5 people to be able to sleep. Small community kitchen/breakfast area/gathering spot. 95% clean - showers could have been better. Bunk beds were comfortable, safe facility.

Right beside Eyre Square. Breakfast was delicious continental. Lovely brown bread. Shower room was fine, a little dated.

Place was very friendly. Staff were very helpful especially Tom and Kerry.Very close to city, trains and buses.Also for trips to Aran islands. Not the cheapest of breaks but occasional bargains could be had. My bus home to Shannon and from Knock to Galway were outside the hostel,so no need to be anxious

The atmosphere was fantastic. I am a solo traveler and absolutely loved my experience here. I met some amazing new friends and the staff was also incredible and easy to talk to. The living area reallt lent itself to being an easy place to meet new people.
