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 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.

The nest was adorable, quirky, and the staff was lovely. Loved the location. The morning coffee for breakfast was the best we had in Ireland. The rooms were tiny but efficient. The bathroom was one of the smallest I’ve ever seen, and I wish the gave more towels for the floor because the shower got all over everything/ toilet and all. But for a hostel, it was completely functional and clean and worked. The walls are thin, bring ear plugs.

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!
