    Very conveniently located next to the railway and bus terminals for Galway (Ceannt) - and impeccably well-kept. Had my trousers button sewn back on by one of the staff, and they serve great breakfasts in the morning! Vibes are also immaculate.

    The location was great if you get there by bus since it's located right next to one of the bus stations. The Pubs are just a stone throw away. The breakfast was exceptional for a hostel as they had home made bread, fresh pancakes, over-night...
