I stayed at Snoozles for four nights while exploring the Galway area, and it was always a nice place to return to after a long day. The staff were very friendly and helpful, giving us information on what to do and answering all our questions. The large hallways make it seem more like a hotel than a hostel, and the... More

This hostel is literally right next door to the bus station, which is perfect for travelers coming from Dublin by bus. It's also very walkable from the city center. The reception staff was very helpful and friendly and showed us to our room (private w/dbl bed & en-suite bathroom). The room was clean and was well worth the price. All... More

After staying in a gross hostel in Dublin, I had started to decide I was getting too old for the hostel experience. But nearing the end of a 10 day trip to Ireland, a friend and I wanted to stay near the Galway city centre and couldn't find a b&b close enough (I had a sprained ankle, so we were... More

Snoozles is a great hostel, it reminds me more of a hotel with the reception desk and key card to get in your room. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Housekeeping even came in during the day to clean. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful too. Another thing... More

This hostel was great! It's in a perfect location, feet from the bus station and about a three minute walk to the town green. The building is brand new and very clean. The staff was wonderful & the price is great. If you're spending some time in Galway I highly recommend staying here.
