4,6 Okay
Pros: The hostel was very central. The receptionist girl was very helpful and attentive.
Cons: We booked for a double room with private bathroom and it was like we had booked for an internal cabin in a ship that was never reaching its destination. The room was very small with only a window at the ceiling like an attic. There was a bar adjacent to our room and we could hear all the songs played till very early in the morning. It was not clean, as our bed sheets had various marks on them. Also the breakfast area had an odour all day from anything that anyone was cooking, the cutlery and the cups were extremely filthy.

8,3 Excellent
Pros: The location was very handy for getting around Galway. The staff was very nice. They had toast and cereal plus tea and coffee to serve for breakfast.
Cons: There was no juice in the dispenser, only water. The shower was a push button that had to be pushed every five seconds. Not compatible with washing long hair. The noise from people partying and also cleaning the streets and delivering kegs to the pub across the road all night at morning. I had earphones so I tried to drowned it out. Check out was 1030..
