"MY OPINION, THIS IS THE BEST HOSTEL IN GALWAY, it’s cheap, but the service? Bro 10000/10 amazing, they’re all friendly and so helpful. They change the bed sheets every checkout, compare to other hostel is so disgusting that we need to sleep on the same bed sheets like person before us, food so fresh! I got spoiled milk on the other hostel, ngl I have stomach ache. DAWSON IS Very very recommended! Go check out, and explore Galway!"

GGuest UserWe 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.
SSturmfrei MacaVery 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.
YYPLKinsay is the thumbs up hostel having the friendliest staff, awesome location & super clean rooms. It is slightly pricey but it includes breakfast and has the strictest security ever. For taller people, choose the upper deck as i keep hitting my head on the lower deck.
I love the pub crawl as a way to meet people and had the most fun ever in Kinlay in Galway!
EEzzadventurerThis 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.
GGuest UserOK, there is a curtain on the bed, there is a certain privacy. The location is very good, very close to the train station and bus station, breakfast is OK, so-so, in a country with high prices in Ireland, the Youth Hostel is a very good economic choice.
GGuest UserTrès bon hébergement ! Dès l’arrivée on se sent à l’aise. Possibilité de laisser son sac gratuitement à l’accueil après son départ (idéal quand ton train est le soir)
Le petit déjeuner parfait, un petit déjeuner normal !
Les lits sont néanmoins très dur !
