Snoozles is a great hostel, it reminds me more of a hotel with the reception desk and key card to get in your room. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Housekeeping even came in during the day to clean. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful too. Another thing... More

This hostel was amazing! It was clean, quiet, secure in an ideal location. The staff were very friendly and helpful and very easy to approach. Parking was a bit awkward, the Qpark in the bus station next door was not ideal but did offer a parking rebate. The bathroom of our room could have been laid out better (the shower... More

Dear JustGoingToSouth, Thank you for your positive review and for giving us a 5/5 rating! I’m sorry you found the car park next door to be a little awkward but we feel €5 for 24 hours is better than full price on street parking! We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Ireland and had a safe journey... More

This hostel was great! It's in a perfect location, feet from the bus station and about a three minute walk to the town green. The building is brand new and very clean. The staff was wonderful & the price is great. If you're spending some time in Galway I highly recommend staying here.

This hostel was spectacular as far as hostels go. Clean, very very affordable, quiet, but still fun. There were 5 of us in total travelling together and we were there at Christmas time.

I've been in hostels around Europe quite a lot and this is a wicked one. It's clean, the radiators works really well in the bedrooms, the carpet is not full of staines like in every other hostels. The staff is helpful and there is a lot of tours that leaves exactly 10 meters from the hostel. It is well located,... More

The hostel is located next to the coach station. It's easy to access the main street of Galway. The staff are super friendly. We stayed at the room just next to the lift. It's quite noisy when someone using the lift. The breakfast is simple but it's far enough because it's free.

Snoozles is right next to the coach station, which is the departure point for many day tours to places like the Connemara. There is a well-equipped kitchen, with Tesco and Lidl a short walk away. Shop Street is also a short walk away (across the other side of Eyre Square) for food, shopping and trad music. The 10-bed mixed dorm... More
