We arrive (girlfriend and I) all excited about our weekend trip away to Galway, so we decide beforehand to go all out and get a private room just for two people. We arrive to a excuse for a roof over your head! not to mention none of the locals could tell me where the place was in the first place!... More

I stayed there two nights with a friend. The room was tiny, there was three bunk beds but I don't think 6 people would have been able to stand in the room at the same time, especially if they had any suitcase... The matresses were very bad, you could feel all the bumps in your back, and the beds were... More

We last minute booked a night at the Salmon Weir after our previous booking was cancelled due to renovations. Sally was incredible friendly and helpful during during our stay. Location was great for the reasonable price we paid.

My Husband and I have stayed at this Hostel a few times now, and have always been greeted by the friendliest of staff. The rooms themselves are teenie tiny and may scare off a person who loves space and firm pillows, but here you are paying for the convenience of being right in town. The shared bathroom was tidy and... More

Extremely friendly and welcoming. Facilities were nice and user friendly, the atmosphere was full of fun, good humour, intelligent conversation and the smell of baking was fantastic. I'd... More

It is a not a very comfy hostel, neither it is not so clean, but is very well located and very cheap. We paid 12 euros per person/day during Christmas time without reservation. It was one of the few hostels open in the city, so, in conclusion, a very good price for everything.

Stayed here with my wife and baby on a trip around Ireland. The good news - we found a place to stay on what we didn't realize until way late was the end of the Volvo Around-the-World-Yacht-Race. Hooray! Positives - - Very conveniently located, walking distance of lots to see. When we got there, a big to-do for the New... More

Stayed here in September 2012 because the location is close to the center of town and the price was reasonable but, if I had seen the rooms first I would have paid a bit more to stay elsewhere. The rooms are cramped, have high school style have lockers but, are only mildly clean. The beds and bedding are old, and... More
