My first time in Ireland and I really liked the hostel. Rooms etc. where clean and beds were nice. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful which made my stay even better.

The Nest Boutique Hostel offers a majority of double and twin ensuite rooms which have comfy beds, soft linen, power showers, fridges and contemporary Irish art work.

Good location. Just in front of the bus station, beach walking area at the back, small local supermarket nearby, cafe and bakery, restaurant nearby. The hostel has a fully equipped kitchen, I enjoyed buying local foods, cooked there, talked with other guests. The room had a huge handicapped bathroom, and I heard that the hostel used to be a care home. I really enjoyed Galway, want to come back again!!

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 ❤️

Excellent comprehensive breakfast with dairy alternatives and several non caffeine teas. With the name Snoozles, I expected party central, which it definitely was not. Families and all ages there.

Our stay at house number 8 was amazing! It's a beautiful semi detached 2 storeys house, with 2 bedrooms and a large living room including a large kitchen. The beds were very comfortable, the shower was excellent and everything was spotless. We were really impressed by the kindness of the staff, we were surprised to find bread, butter and jam and also milk in the kitchen as a welcome pack. It was so easy to get the keys as there is a reception open 24/7 right across the square. The location is in the city center and the fun is right on your doorstep.
