We spent two night in a 6 bed female room. The hostel is super central, right on Eyre Square and close to the station. Many tours also leave right from the hostel. The staff was very friendly and we received a warm welcome from Valeria! Padlocks, adaptors and towels available both to buy and rent (with a deposit, nice option!) The breakfast (mostly sweet) is included and it's very rich with vegan and gluten-free options. Tea and coffee are available 24/7 in the common room, which was a nice touch! The common spaces are very nice and well kept. The room was comfortable, bright and clean. The lockers under the bed are very useful and quite big, but it can be tricky to open them. The shared…

Guest reviews
Kinlay Galway averages 4.5 out of 5 across 1,006 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Everything was very clean and nice, the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was also good (porridge, cereal, soda bread, raisin scones, butter, cheese, yogurt, various seeds, jams, even options for those with gluten intolerance, plant-based milks, juices, coffee, cocoa and tea). The kitchen area for preparing your own meals was very pleasant as well. The location was excellent, close to the train station and the main street. The price was great for everything you get. Definitely recommend.
I had a fantastic stay at this hostel!! We were with a large group and I was in a 6 person room with a total of 5 girls. The beds were big enough, there was an outlet, a light and a curtain in each bunk. There was more than enough space to store your things. The shared bathroom facilities were clean enough and well maintained. The breakfast was great, with quite a few options, and the kitchen was amazing as well. The common areas were cozy and spacious.
