Really welcoming, warm and well presented hostel. Clean and spacious bathroom in female dorm and room also had a table/bench for doing hair/makeup which is a nice touch. Bunks have privacy curtain and nice linen. Some parking is available onsite which is awesome.

The Nest Boutique Hostel is clean and quiet. The staff are very helpful and it was great to have a laundry as we'd been travelling for a while. The room and bathroom are huge. The parking in the area is very limited. It is in easy walking distance to restaurants and cafes as well as the beach.

Great boutique hostel. People of all ages were stating here, not just for a young crowd. It’s been quiet and comfortable. The room was clean. I’d recommend staying here even if it’s your first time at a hostel.

Great value … medieval Galway is walkable, or transit passes right by the hostel if you prefer. Salthill area has good shops and pubs/restaurants. Limited parking on site, but plenty on surrounding roads. Common area and kitchen were quiet and clean - the smell of fresh baking at breakfast time was devine!

Parking on street was fairly easy if parking spots were taken. All levels need tap in with the key and felt really secure. Great area to walk up to a few pubs and restaurants and if you’re up for a good walk it was easy to get to central Galway.

Great room and we enjoyed both the cafe and tea/coffee anytime. Convenient location for exploring Galway. Parking is not always available, and street parking may be equivalent of a couple blocks away, so drivers should be prepared not to have the car near. We had a nice time here!

No frills
First time staying at a hostel. Very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Even let me use their personal phone when mine couldn't make a local call. No frills, but that's expected. Very good breakfast offering. Bed was hard, but sleep-able.
