Its a hostel, don't be fooled by the pics, there is no restaurant, its just a dining room where you can bring food. They do have a convenient laundry service. Its probably great if your a young single person needing a bed.

Clean rooms and facilities. And luckily, I had very respectful roommates. Breakfast was decent, could use more protein, but it has the basics plus more! A big plus is also that they provided free towels, bedding and luggage storage. Would stay here again!

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.

Wonderful hostel

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.
