Strategically located in the Galway city, many tour buses stop right in front and Kinlay has their own Galway Tour too. Clean private room and bathroom, thankfully there was a standing fan in the room to beat the sunny summer heat (unusual for Galway).
Complimentary breakfast was awesome, delicious homemade Irish Soda bread, yummy scones that I missed on our last day there. Free flow of water, apples, tea, coffee and hot chocolate making that you could make yourself anytime.
Would come back again, highly recommended.

The service is like the hotel claimed to make 100% perfect. Well maintained, and always clean and cleaning. Front desk is very helpful and happy what they are doing. The is a perfect example for managing a hostel.

Great place that I will definitely recommend to anyone. Location is central, easy to get to almost anywhere. Reception staff are friendly and resourceful, providing informations that you’ll need (such as things to do and places to go in Galway, tours available, and even the best pubs and food areas around) during check-in.
Common area is simply amazing. Room is clean and cosy with comfy beddings. Bathroom is clean and considerably big.
10/10 experience over here!

Kinsay is the thumbs up hostel having the friendliest staff, awesome location & super clean rooms. It is slightly pricey but it includes breakfast and has the strictest security ever. For taller people, choose the upper deck as i keep hitting my head on the lower deck.
I love the pub crawl as a way to meet people and had the most fun ever in Kinlay in Galway!

Hostel is a short walk from the train station and many shops and restaurants. The common area of this property is really nice and they have a guitar and piano for those inclined. They also provide tea and coffee and fruit at no extra charge which is nice. Breakfast was above average and I enjoyed it.
