We loved this place! Situated 5-8 minute walk to the Latin Quarter and Eyre Square made our time in Galway really special. We parked the car 2 blocks away near a grocery store for 5 euros for 24 hours. The unit was clean with comfortable bedding and sheets. The best part was the use of the hostel. When we booked we kind of shrugged it off but travelling with our 11 and 13 year old, they were enthralled with youth scene, backpackers and families from around the world here. The hostel provides a full kitchen for use and free coffee, cereal, milk, bread, butter and jam every morning. It is clean and allows you to really just use your apartment as a sleeping area and for privacy, we never even used the kitchen because it was so fun to go down to the hostel. The hostel has travel books and magazines with comfortable couches, bench seating to socialize with global travelers, outdoor seating, a tv room, luggage storage and best of all, amazing suggestions from the staff. And I mean amazing! They provided maps, told us about the best free city tour (leaves out of Eyre Sq everyday at 11 & 2, provided by very bright university students), suggested places to eat, walk times to Salt Hill & the Prom, walk times to the West End for live music. It was really nice to roll in here and get some solid suggestions. Then add the proximity to all the sites and it was near perfect. This place was a memorable highlight of our 11 days in Ireland.
