Customer Reviews Galway - Sleepzone YHA
| 16 Jan 2012 Natalie, USA | 97% | |
| Wish there would have been breakfast and the shower didn't stay on for more than a minute at a time, but other than that, we had a very good stay. It was very nice that they have cards with discounts to restaurants and cafes, so we didn't need to spend too much on money. The staff was great and very helpful. | ||

| we cancelled our reservations at the Galway Sleepzone due to rain and stayed in a Dublin hotel instead for our last two nights of our vacation. | ||

| Good hostel but busy & with that number people the kitchen area is barely big enough. | ||

| I'm glad to be able to comment on the Galway Sleepzone because I really enjoyed my time there. The place is run very efficiently - it is wonderfully clean and well equipped. The staff were informative and genuinely hospitable. I arrived without a towel but two were provided without charge. All my questions were answered and there was a bank of self-locking little safes for valuables and they also were free of charge. I liked the no smoking, no drinking, no food upstairs rules as it meant that I was guaranteed a smoke/alcohol/food free room. Thank you! | ||

| I did not get refund of €2/night for my YHA membership. Manager think its available only on the rack rate. Though I did get the same discount at my stay in Dublin Youth hostel and was promised the same for Galway as well in my booking. | ||
