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.

Great loccation, close to pubs and the Latin Quarter, the hotspot for a night in Galway. However, breakfast wasn't so good, with only a few options. Also, cleaning service of the room was not automatic, I guess you had to ask for it? So all in all, it's a good hostel, but a bit expensive for what it offers.

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

Great stay but I'm still waiting for the reimbursement of the night because Tom made me pay twice by mistake

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

Un super emplacement, une cuisine super équipée et un petit dej au top. Personnel super sympa aussi. Mais les chambres ( dortoir de six ), sont relativement petit et pas très pratique. Impossible d'allumer sa lumière perso sans gêner la personne en dessous. Lavabo dans la chambre est pas dans la salle de bain, pas idéal pour ne pas gêner les autres. Et une lumière rouge type veilleuse au niveaux des yeux dans les lit du dessus, pas très agréable. Lit qui tremble au moindre mouvement. Bref, très pratique par son emplacement et le thé a volonté toute la journée très agréable, mais chambre pas parfaite. Dépend bien évidemment de sur qui on tombe aussi mais ça ça dépend évidemment pas de l'hôtel en soi ! Propre c'est important aussi rien à redire la dessus.

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!

Very friendly check in and located very close to the city centre

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!
