The breakfast is not to be missed! The rooms were clean and well equipped. The staff and other guests were very welcoming and friendly - all very down to earth. If you’re a pretentious pain in the behind, don’t corrupt this wonderfully place!

5.0 / 10.0

Good value, very helpful staff and convenient location with adequate parking for a motorcycle. Breakfast was very good value with ample choice of breads cheese and pastries and fresh coffee. Although we vacated the room by the required time of 10am, we were able to sit comfortably in the lounge/dining area while we planned our journey and charged our phones, with no pressure to leave.

6.0 / 10.0

The staff were great! The building itself was super cool & felt secure! Although not in galway city proper, the area was fantastic & would highly recommend exploring & not too far of a walk! The only thing I would say is that the breakfast was a little pricey for what was included.

10.0 / 10.0

Wonderful place to stay in Galway! The staff who greeted us on the night we arrived was kind and helpful. Parked car in the small lot the first night and street the next (Sat) night. I’ll stay again next time I visit Galway.

4.0 / 10.0

The nest was adorable, quirky, and the staff was lovely. Loved the location. The morning coffee for breakfast was the best we had in Ireland. The rooms were tiny but efficient. The bathroom was one of the smallest I’ve ever seen, and I wish the gave more towels for the floor because the shower got all over everything/ toilet and all. But for a hostel, it was completely functional and clean and worked. The walls are thin, bring ear plugs.

3.0 / 10.0

Good location, comfortable, clean, and spacious room. There was no parking available at the property when we arrived and the reception wasn’t that welcoming when we arrived.

6.0 / 10.0

Was a decent hostel, was on the ground level by the door so we heard a lot of in and out noise throughout the night, not ac and was really hot in the room for sleeping with the window open it didn’t help. Room was clean and big, pillows were very thin

5.0 / 10.0

Nice place in a walkable neighborhood with lots of restaurants, access to the beach near the light house

10.0 / 10.0

I’m not a hostel person at all but I had a great stay at The Nest - the staff were friendly and helpful, everything was clean, beds were super comfy, and most importantly it was quiet!

The place was clean, very well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a great deal and food was good. Location was great! Ample street parking. Laundry facilities available for fee with detergent available to use. While still a social place, this hostel seemed to suit the non-traditional hostel goers quite well.

10.0 / 10.0

Great stay, close to water

10.0 / 10.0

This was my first time staying in a hostel and I must say I really enjoyed staying at The Nest, a very funky place, very clean and quiet, parking for my rental car and many shops, pubs and restaurants in walking distance. The ladies I met in the 6 person, women only dorm room were so nice and respectful of privacy and space, but also engaging if you wanted to have a chat. The bunks, mine upper, were cozy, yet roomy with curtains to draw if you wanted privacy, beds, blankets and pillows were comfy. I ordered the breakfast included, which was really good, with a French press for coffee, cheese, yogurt, cereal, toast, fruit etc. The Nest is located in an area over the bridge from the main town of Galway called Salt Hill, buy the water with a beach, Galway is a half hour walk, beautiful on a nice day. Salt Hill has many shops, restaurants and pubs, I wandered over to one for live music, very cool inside. The town of Galway is a must. I would highly recommend the Nest as a great hostel to stay in as a 61 year old woman I was apprehensive, but had the best time!

5.0 / 10.0

Fantastic and affordable. The Nest exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities along with the double room was gorgeous, modern, cozy and clean. Bus stop from town literally at the door step, and the one going towards the city centre only a couple of minutes away. Cannot recommend this enough, would definitely stay again!

10.0 / 10.0

Excellent choice if you want to come to Galway but not be if the more hectic city centre, right by the coast. Space was clean and comfortable and great value for money.
