Located next to Galway Railway and Bus Station, Galway City Hostel - Solo Traveller Hostel overlooks Eyre Square. With free WiFi, printing, and luggage storage, the hostel also offers continental breakfast and a shared lounge. The reception staff can arrange tours to the Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, and the Aran Islands. 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!

Guests can choose from a range of private rooms and shared dorms, all designed for comfort and convenience. The hostel offers a spacious common area with a pool table and TV, a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, and a bright dining room. Kinlay is the best hostel I have already met.

There is a system to keep your food and beverages in the kitchen and in the refrigerator very smart , and everything works so good. I truly recommend Kinlay Hostel.
