Really enjoyed a recent overnight break in the hostel for Christmas. Still the same with great staff, atmosphere etc. I had initially stayed a few weeks after it opened in 2016 and 2017 (during the winter months) when working in Galway and always enjoyed my time there. Congrats on all your hard work to keep the standards high and the awards achieved to date. Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and New Year and hope to see you soon again!

This place is in Salthill, which is a lovely little area nearby the water and promenade with cafes, restaurants, a fabulous pub for live music nearby, but a bit of a ways out of the center of Galway. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a spot not in the middle of the madness but easily accessible to it
