"The hostel is well located and easy to find. Close enough to a carpark that was free overnight. Rooms were clean if a little cosy. The breakfast was generous and very welcome!"
We booked a whole sconto, everything worked without problems.
Super nice service, free towels, as well as free tea/cafe and fruit.
Room was clean, good size and everything was very uncomplicated.
Super were the sticks on each bed with additional USB and USB connection, so you don't need a adapter.
We also had breakfast incl. , rather smaller buffet, but perfectly enough and delicious for the price.
The mattresses are our only defects, which were very hard.
Very good hostel experience overall. The place has everything a traveler might need: parking available, a very good continental breakfast, and common areas that are comfortable and well maintained. The location is excelent near the beach and a bus stop is in front of the hostel. You can arrive there a few minutes from the city center.
The staff were friendly and professional. I had a small issue when another guest mistakenly took my assigned bed in the dorm, but the receptionist handled the situation quickly and changed the sheets so I could use my bed without any problem.
The hostel was also very busy during St. Patrick’s weekend, yet the staff still managed things well. I appreciated their help and organization.
Overall, a comfortable stay and a good option when visiting Galway.
Strategically located in the Galway city, many tour buses stop right in front and Kinlay has their own Galway Tour too. Clean private room and bathroom, thankfully there was a standing fan in the room to beat the sunny summer heat (unusual for Galway).
Complimentary breakfast was awesome, delicious homemade Irish Soda bread, yummy scones that I missed on our last day there. Free flow of water, apples, tea, coffee and hot chocolate making that you could make yourself anytime.
Would come back again, highly recommended.
This hostel exceeded expectations, for me.
The rooms had comfy beds, large lockers and air-con. The free breakfast was delicious and home made and they even do family dinner each night which is great value and a fun way to meet people. The bathrooms were basic but functional and clean and I didn't have to wait for a shower.
The pub downstairs was lively and good value.
I would suggest bringing ear plugs though as the live music goes on quite late some nights so if you want to sleep you'll need them.
