This was probably the best hostel I stayed during my whole trip throught the UK and ireland. Friendliest staff ever, cozy rooms, great facilities, very central location and not expensive at all. I\'d reccomend this for anyone going to Galway. Barnacles is amazing!!!

All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful in every way possible! Would definitely recommend for anybody to stay here.

What a fantastic hostel! Defs recommend to anyone travelling through lovely Galway. The staff are amazing and helpful, the Australian receptionist was a real gem. Top notch.
