Kinlay Hostel Eyre Square
Merchants Road, Eyre Square, Galway, Ireland – Excellent location - show map
I had a lovely stay here! The rooms were clean, modern, and quiet, the staff was INCREDIBLE, and the hostel could not have a better location!! It’s also very safe and secure, especially at night, and everything else was wonderful - wifi, breakfast, and facilities. I will 100% use the hostel if I ever return to Galway!
