Lovely building! Sean takes obvious pride in everyone having a comfortable stay. There were ample fridges, and a very large, well stocked kitchen, including tea, coffee, milk (there was non-dairy milk in the fridge!), bread and snacks. The room had a nice wardrobe in it, ample outlets, and very cute bedside tables and a little chair. There is a washer and dryer on-site. There is also a shared space to eat and hang out, though there wasn't much of a socializing while I stayed.

My stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The entire experience was incredibly well-organized, and every staff member I encountered went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant visit. I want to give a special thanks to Valeria, the wonderful Italian receptionist, whose warm welcome and helpfulness made me feel right at home. During my stay, I accidentally left one of my earphones in the room. When I called the reception to check if it was found, Amy answered and was exceptionally efficient in assisting with the retrieval and arranging its delivery back to me. Her attentiveness and care were so reassuring. I’d also like to thank Matt and the rest of the team for their outstanding service and dedication. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, making this a truly memorable stay. 5 stars, highly deserved – I can’t wait to return

In our roadtrip this was the best hostel we booked in Ireland. It has a beautiful atmosphere and it's immersed in the nature. There were eggs, milk, cereals included for breakfast. The host was really adorable, she also washed all our clothes for free. So we definitely recommend this place if you are thinking to visit this area and you're travelling by car. It's a calm place also suitable for families, so you could find some children.

The bathrooms were very clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful. They had discounts with nearby businesses which when travelling on a budget is very helpful. In a great location, about 10 minutes walk from both Eyre Square, and Galway Cathedral (in opposite directions).

Extremely quaint hostel in a breathtaking location. Seemed like a lot of backpackers and other young travelers were staying there. Right across the street from a great pub and some good restaurants. Easy to access by bus but not much within walkable distance. Staff allowed us to drop off our bags before our check in time. Room and bathroom were clean.
