I had friends from home with me for other portions of the trip, but was traveling solo when I hit Galway. I could not imagine how I could’ve felt more at home and welcomed here. I had a blast on the pub crawl lead by Luke, guessing people’s zodiac signs with Tom, and getting to know everyone who was around while I was. There’s something special going on at Galway City Hostel! ##### Margo Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mahala 29 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, tons of amenities, great activities and super friendly. ##### Mahala Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathleen 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed 2 nights abacus was fantastic. Good hot showers, great linens and towel, generous pancake breakfast and offer group activities. ##### Cathleen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location to both bus and train stations, very cramped facilities starting at front door with 2 sets narrow stairs to reach tiny “office”, narrow hallways and toilet stalls barely big enough to turn around in. Hot room during day. Small in-room A/C unit goes on at 8PM and off at 8AM but needed to open small windows x 2 to cool off room of 5 people to be able to sleep. Small community kitchen/breakfast area/gathering spot. 95% clean - showers could have been better. Bunk beds were comfortable, safe facility. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f3e38485-4ebf-4e8b-8ffe-521adaa1898e-1755263832829.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patricia Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location.
