Galway Greyhound Stadium is 3.6 km from the hostel, while Ballymagibbon Cairn is 39 km from the property. Shannon Airport is 82 km away. The campus is beautiful. Short twenty minute walk through the campus on some paths away from traffic. The dorms we stayed in were relatively new built in 2018. Well organized. It would have been difficult for us to find, but we called a cab for our luggage and he had not problem finding it.

Wild Atlantic Hostel

Leenaun

Wild Atlantic Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Leenaun. Featuring a bar, the property is located within 27 km of Kylemore Abbey. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk as well as free WiFi. The location was stunning and all facilities seemed to showcase the great outdoor experience. The customer care and service were excellent and we will definitely visit again and next time try some of the great activities on offer. Although we stayed in dormitory accommodation the standard was very high and everything was clean and comfortable. We were actually given the whole dormitory to ourselves with a private shower and bathroom. The walk-in shower area was great and so useful when coming back from muddy or wet activities. Any family visiting this wonderful area on a budget should consider this option. We were stuck at late notice for a place for the night and so glad we found this little gem.
