Inkeeper was very friendly and helpful. She gave us the best recommendations for sights to visit in the area. It is well situated if you are here by car, because you can visit all the points of interest within reasonable driving time. Common room is very cozy and has a fireplace. Kitchen is big and well equipped. Shower has very reliable hot water, and water pressure is very good. Facilities are shared with only one other room, so chances to run in with other guest are quite slim (we visited off-season, so it was only us using them at the time) If I were to visit that part of this beautiful country again, I would absolutely choose this place again.

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.
