Betty is amazing and made me feel warm and at home over Christmas. Her genuine love for hosting is very apparent and the upkeep of the property is remarkable! WIll definitely go again to get away from the city. The fresh air and stunning scenery were a great change.

The property is very clean, huge and has great facilities. The twin room we stayed in was clean with towels and a hairdryer provided. The kitchen is very well stocked with many snacks and drinks, and breakfast was especially great with fresh croissants and scones. The host was very friendly, and accommodated to our needs such as early check in and storing of luggage. The location is generally safe in a residential area and is in close proximity to the city centre. Overall a fantastic place to stay at a great value point.

Ir is a very cosy beautiful hostel in Salthill, like 20-30 minutes walk from Galway Eyre square. We stayed in a 6-bed dorm with my cool 68 yrs old mom and it was very comfy. Bathroom is clean, the breakfast is more than enough, the staff is lovely. The location is also vey good, because Salthill is a very nice place to stay and wander around.

The location is right next to the main bus station as well as from the city centre. Hostel was very clean, staff was nice and we were able o use the shared kitchen in which there was also some free food available (pasta, rice, spices). The beds were comfortable and clean. If I ever go back to Gallway, I will make sure to stay at their hostel :)

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.
