Galway is a small town right on the Irish coast. My travels landed me in Galway for a couple of days where I stayed in a charming and warm hostel called the Galway City Hostel. If you’re thinking of staying here as a budget-friendly option during your visit, I suggest you read on!
Location:
Galway is a small town and the hostel is conveniently located right next to the train station. Right across the street are bars and restaurants, although the hostel is on the edge of the town. Despite the hostel being towards the outside, it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the town center, making the location hardly an issue.Eats:
Rooms:
Atmosphere:
Service:
Service here is pretty decent. The people at the front desk are nice but can take their time with checking people in.Cleanliness:
Cost:
The cost will depend on the time of booking and season. During low season travel, costs to stay per night will range from 18-30 euros. If traveling through the summer, I recommend booking ahead of time to get a starting rate of 25 euros/night.Amenities:
Tips for Staying:
Bring your own towel to this hostel unless you want to pay 2-3 euros to rent one for the duration of your stay. I also highly advise a lock to keep your possessions safe and soap/shampoo.For all of you wanting a great night on the town, the hostel offers a pub-crawl that guests can sign up for at the front desk. I believe it is around 18 euros. The pub-crawl goes through 5-6 bars and the fee to join includes drinks and/or a shot at every location.
If you’re looking to strike up a conversation or meet new people, the lounge is a great place to do so!
