Not everything about my stay at Snoozles was perfect, but they were so gracious about helping us out in the midst of a pandemic that I wouldn’t think of giving them any less than five stars. 

The bad:
Bathroom lacked a working soap dispenser or hand towels
Toilets took a few minutes to refill after flushing and were noisy the entire time
Tiny shower room; hard to change clothes or even turn around
Kitchen and lounge closed at 11 pm, so you could get locked out with food you wanted to put in the fridge
WiFi was only usable inside the lounge, not the kitchen or the dorms
Toaster is unplugged outside breakfast hours
Didn’t get a tour so it took me three days to find the kitchen paper towels

The good:
Nice lounge, if a bit small. Netflix on the TV, guitars, comfy vinyl seats
WONDERFUL staff who went above and beyond to make sure I got home safe
Clean rooms and bathrooms
Safe facilities with a night guard; keyed entry to most doors
Great price
Excellent location on Quay St. Plenty to walk to, including the beach, the piers, Salthill, and even the woods if you brought your hiking boots
Open and honest about any changes or problems that might come up during your stay

Wonderful hostel with wonderful folks

Very friendly like most hostels, the building appears to have been an up/middle market hotel in and earlier life, room sizes are up to four X two tiered bunks with all ensuite facilities, clean and well maintained, breakfast lounge plenty big enough for a full house of guests.  the emergency was that my wallet was stolen on my last night and not only the staff but other guests (one handed me 20(= at reception after overhearing my report to the desk) were very kind and helpful; the people of Galway were also brilliant; the man at the bus depot let me on the bus to Dublin without my (stolen) ticket.  My wallet was recovered with 125(= missing, everything else including 25(= was there and the hostel mailed it all to my home in Oz.

Kind friendly help in an emergency

Very welcoming front desk :) Great location to stay!

Stayed in July as part of a group. Got everything organised with Mark the Groups Manager. Simple carefree process, accommodation was comfortable and the location was just great. Right in the middle of all the pubs and bars. Breakfast was tasty and well received by the group. Would highly recommend for any groups going to Galway. Can't flaw in any way.

Great Group Experience

Location location location ! Do not bother with your big hotels and prices that cpme woith them.  This hostel is clean, offers continental breakfast and easy check in - out.
In the heart of Galway City you are in the thick og the entertainment area.  
Staff very friendly
Will definitely be back.

What a location

Great histel

My friend & I arrived but the booking system had double booked and we didn’t have a space! Ryan went above and beyond for us, and provided the absolute best service! Within 5 minutes he had found us a room in a nearby hostel & was so so lovely. On our second night we came back & stayed at Snoozles in a four bed mixed dorm on the second floor. It was clean & comfortable, the music from the bars below didn’t bother us, even with our window to the street. Great positioning so close to everything you need & the hustle n bustle! Can’t thank Ryan enough for his great service 👌🏽

Great customer service

I had an excellent stay here (2 nights) as a solo traveler. The location is awesome, within about 10 minutes walking of the downtown Galway area, but also near tons of restaurants and pubs. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, the location quiet (they provided ear plugs), and there was even an attached bathroom and shower in the room which were separated so one person could use each at a time. I had a mixed room, and there actually was a mix of genders, which is always a relief. The kitchen is spacious, with a microwave and even refrigerators and cubbies you can use to store food for longer periods of time. Breakfast  in the morning was basic--coffee, toast, cereal--but I enjoyed the community of a bunch of people hanging out there together. A downstairs lounge area with a TV and two computers was also a nice place to hang out for a few hours while I was trying to kill some time. I think this is a great hostel for solo travelers, and people staying at a hostel for longer periods of time. The staff was very friendly, too, which I think is a plus. I highly recommend this hostel; it's probably one of the best ones I've stayed at.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night in a private room overlooking the Main Street and we had a great time! I loved the location and would definitely stay again. Just be aware that it is right next to the bars and shops so it might be noisy depending on what side of the hostel you’re on. We closed our window and had no trouble sleeping.
