Galway City Hostel
Frenchville Lane, Eyre Square, Galway, Ireland – Excellent location - show map
It exceeded expectations. Staff was incredibly nice and helpful, and went overboard to make you feel confortable. Room, bathroom and common areas were great and spotless clean. You could borrow towels, hair dryer, band-aids, etc., which was really convenient. Breakfast was amazing, and I would also recommend singing up for the common dinner and pub crawl, I had a blast!
