A free breakfast and high-speed WiFi as well as free computer usage, free luggage storage, free printing and free city maps are all provided to guests. My stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The entire experience was incredibly well-organized, and every staff member I encountered went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant visit. I want to give a special thanks to Valeria, the wonderful Italian receptionist, whose warm welcome and helpfulness made me feel right at home. During my stay, I accidentally left one of my earphones in the room. When I called the reception to check if it was found, Amy answered and was exceptionally efficient in assisting with the retrieval and arranging its delivery back to me. Her attentiveness and care were so reassuring. I’d also like to thank Matt and the rest of the team for their outstanding service and dedication. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, making this a truly memorable stay. 5 stars, highly deserved – I can’t wait to return

University of Galway Rooms

Galway

At the hostel, each room is fitted with a desk. At University of Galway Rooms rooms are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen.

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 room was excellently proportioned and arranged but this is due to the original design for students. The bathroom in particular is suitable for all comers. Light in the room was good but the need for auto sensors would be great everywhere once you enter, not just in bathroom, where the sensor stayed on far too long and came on even in daylight.

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.

It was our first night in Ireland and it was a good welcome. The small village by the sea was a nice relaxing stay to launch us off on the Aran Islands the next day.
