Sleepzone Hostel Galway City

Galway

This comfortable, modern hostel is set in the centre of Galway, just 100 metres from Eyre Square. Sleepzone Galway City offers a free Wi-Fi zone and a large outdoor terrace.

The hostel has a newly remodeled and fitted self-catering kitchen and all rooms are en suite. There is a calm and relaxing vibe in all communal areas and a large dining area for enjoying all meals. Laundry facilities are available, as are safety deposit boxes. I loved everyone there! When I first got there, I was stressed and frazzled and they were really patient and kind with me. They told me about some places to stay and even let me hang out/store my stuff on the day I wad leaving even though it was later. I found the beds comfortable and the internet worked. The breakfast is worth it on its own right but I wish they had a non-dairy milk for the cereal as I'm lactose intolerant. I did have the gluten free bread, which was yummy and we know how tough it can be. I miss gluten and dairy. The location is great as well. It's right in the middle of big shops and the downtown area. I loved Galway and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for having me ❤️
