The Galway City Hostel was in a perfect location near the main shopping area and bus station but surprisingly quiet inside. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The facilities were very clean and the breakfast they provided was yummy.

Great stay, but far from cheap

great location, very nice breakfast, friendly staff, all very clean. But also you pay for it - it's one of the most expensive hostels around, and this was February
