10/10 Excellent
"I was so impressed by this Amazing Hostel! The location is walking distance to the cutest beaches and town offers every type of food and bar option. The Hostel is extremely warm and welcoming and clean. They have amazing twin size beds with the most comfy and spacious shared rooms. They offer an amazing breakfast and have a Coffee Bar located inside. Staff was amazing! The bus stop is at the front door of the hotel made transport so easy! Bring your bathing suit because the promenade is a few minutes walk up the street! Would recommend 1000%. Just stay away from the laundromat in the corner at the gas station it’s way too pricey and didn’t dry my clothes plus it’s outdoors (made for a funny two hr story)"

"There are too many stairs and no elevator. Some rooms do not have AC. The hotel is on Galway Bay and the grounds are beautifully kept with walking trails to the rocky beach. It is about 7 miles from Galway which could be an issue for some without their own transportation. We would stay there again."

"What an ideal home for our family of 14! We were a bit concerned about the distance from Galway but proximity to the sea, hiking, quaint towns and restaurants more than made up for it. For a 200 year old home, it was well furnished and equipped so met our needs."
