Stayed here 3 nights. Reaaaally friendly staff! Okay rooms, nice and clean. Close to the city center and railway station. I would recommend this! Only minus was that it was a little bit too noisy on Friday.

Great location and clean, first rate service but very musty room, check to get a room with a window! No wifii in the rooms only in the common area. Excellent security, large and clean kitchen. Laundry service and parking very close. Lots of young people, better for younger people as opposed to families, IMO.

I found this hostel really good because it was clean, the rooms were reasonable size and ensuite, you could have towels for free (which is quite rare) and there was a huge kitchen. The hostel is also quite well situated (5 minutes by foot from the very centre of Galway) and the staff was nice. The only negative point is... More

Just stayed the one night, it's very new and clean, with all the facilities you could ask for. I did find the staff to be a little on the unfriendly side however. Still, for the price i paid that is a small concern.

Overall a good stay, staff were friendly & beds were good. HOWEVER, even though I paid cash upon arrival my bank account was still subsequently debited the whole amount again. I called and was advised that this is to prevent no-shows. Firstly, I thought that's what a deposit is for and secondly I'm quite sure that under hostelworld rules; they... More

Stayed here during the visit of the Volvo Ocean Race in 2012. It was a great find - easy to walk anywhere in the city, good facilities and clean. Wifi in the lounge and kitchen was good. Staff were always helpful and ready to give out good advice on things to do - including things to do in the rain.... More

Nice hostel close to the Galway city centre. Staff is very nice, polite and helpful. We stayed in 8 persons mixed bedroom and it was ok, warm, big enough and with comfortable bunk beds. Bathroom was also ok (clean, only it would be better that it had bigger sink and more place to put your things). Kitchen was well equipped... More

We stayed two nights at the Sleepzone Hostel in Galway. It is a very nice and clean hostel placed at the centre of lovely Galway. The staff is friendly, co-operative and welcoming. We stayed in a six-bedroom mixed, which is ok for a few nights, quite tiny but I think that is just fine with the price. The kitchen and... More

Overall this was a nice hostel, all the basics were covered well enough. The beds were comfy, the the rooms were warm and the kitchen was well equipped. There were only a few things that brought my rating down. To have a shower you had to press a button continually, otherwise water turns off after a few seconds. Also, after... More
