Located next to Galway Railway and Bus Station, Galway City Hostel overlooks Eyre Square. With free WiFi, printing, and luggage storage, the hostel also offers continental breakfast and a shared lounge. The reception staff can arrange tours to the Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, and the Aran Islands. Each and every member of the staff was so friendly! The atmosphere was amazing, and it was really easy to make friends! They arranged a pub crawl that I totally recommend doing. I don't think the experience could have been any better! 100% booking this again on my next trip to Galway!

WINNER: Best Hostel in Ireland 2025

Guests can choose from a range of private rooms and shared dorms, all designed for comfort and convenience. The hostel offers a spacious common area with a pool table and TV, a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, and a bright dining room. The free towel rental and included breakfast were a breath of fresh air!! The staff were lovely, particularly Valeria at the reception desk. The room was quite clean, and the location couldn't have been better! I appreciated that they partially validate parking a the Hynes Yard Q-Park. It brought the cost of overnight parking down significantly.
