One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at - Kinlay just gets so many things right! Dorm beds are comfortable with privacy curtains, light, power socket and USB. Showers are very good, with hooks for hanging items and shower gel provided. And finally a hostel that doesn’t charge or require a deposit for towels - fantastic! There is a large and pleasant communal area, with a pool table and piano. The kitchen is large and has everything you need, plus there are lots of fridges and freezers. Free tea, coffee and some fruit is available 24/7 which is just brilliant, and there are even some free daily afternoon biscuits. The free breakfast is very good. The hostel is very clean throughout with everything well-maintained. WiFi is excellent. Staff are very friendly and super helpful. Note that Kinlay Hostel is operated by the same people as Snoozles Hostel, which is also superb. I strongly recommend both.

I had a great stay at the Kinlay! Staff were friendly, the hostel was clean, great kitchen facilities and lots of opportunities to socialize with others if that is what you are looking for.

4.0 / 10.0

Great loccation, close to pubs and the Latin Quarter, the hotspot for a night in Galway. However, breakfast wasn't so good, with only a few options. Also, cleaning service of the room was not automatic, I guess you had to ask for it? So all in all, it's a good hostel, but a bit expensive for what it offers.

Arrived early and was able to leave luggage in the secure room. The lovely lady at reception helped me find all the best spots and gave her personal recommendations for the city. The hostel was mostly clean, apart from the showers which I think was more down the to guests rather than them. There were great facilities and a nice communal area. Bedrooms were comfortable with a privacy curtain on each bit, always a huge plus in a hostel! Each bed had its own light and plug/usb socket to charge overnight. Basic breakfast provided the next morning. Definitely would stay again

Awesome hostel. More of a hotel than a hostel. We had a private room for 4. The rooms were clean, smelled fresh, the beds were on the firm side and comfortable for us, the pillows weren't flat but nice and comfy. Everything smelled and looked new. The breakfast had a lot of variety and very good. Parking is a block away and not free but discounted.

Friendly staff, right in the heart of Galway and just steps from trains, busses and rental car offices, perfect as a hub to explore the west. Also easy walking distance to shops, dining and tourist sites such as the Spanish Arch.

The staff are very helpful and kind. There's a luggage room you can use too although be warned: you may need to play Tetris squeezing yours in. There were a ton of luggages in place. But the room itself was serviceable, but highly dependent on who you get as per usual hostel rules. Not great procedures if you're trying to avoid getting sick. I wore a mask to sleep once I heard 2 people coughing and I only had the curtain to shield myself. Breakfast options were fine. You get a good enough option to be happy to go about your way.

First time staying in a hostel/shared room, the experience was rather pleasing. The only downside was that no towels were provided, towels cost 2€ at the front desk. Overall cleanliness was good, the service exceptional! Breakfast was included, very diverse and tasty. Another great thing was the Kinlay Pub Crawl, would definitely recommend participating – met a lot of great fellow travellers and had a great great time!
