+ Il riscaldamento a mille in camera è il top! Insieme ai due regaz della reception.

- La titolare ti manda un messagio via booking che il check in è gratuito fino alle 8 poi lo paghi 10euro x ogni ora di ritardo. In piu ti chiede una cauzione di 10euro per le x chiavi che nn rivedrai mai piu perché se li tiene, son 5giorni che aspetto il bonifico indietro. NESSUNA DI QUESTE INFORMAZIONI SONO PUBBLICHE, perché chiaramente poi verrebbe denunciata. Sta maletta per 10euro? Bah

Translated to English

The heating in the room is top! along with the two guys from the reception. the owner sends you a message via booking that the check-in is free until 8am then you pay 10euro x every hour of delay. in addition she asks you for a deposit of 10euro for x keys you will never see again because if you have them, it's been 5 days waiting for the transfer back. NOTHING OF THIS INFORMATION IS PUBLIC, because then you would be reported. this suitcase for 10euro?

I don't recommend this hostel in Galway if you are travelling with a family or kids. The worst experience in Ireland. No recomiendo este hospedaje si viajas con niños o en familia el servicio es pésimo, el desayuno terrible, el personal 0 amigable y su desayuno un desastre. La peor experencia viajando en Galway.

Abbiamo effettuato una prenotazione in data 28/01/2020, ovvero prima dello scoppio della pandemia, per alloggiare in questo Hotel la notte dell'11/09/2020 . Ahinoi la nostra prenotazione non prevedeva la cancellazione gratuita. Abbiamo comunque deciso di annullare il nostro viaggio e scrivere alla struttura in data 06/06/2020 (quindi con ben 3 mesi di anticipo) se fosse possibile annullare il soggiorno, ma la nostra richiesta è stata rifiutata. Pochi giorni fa anche il nostro volo è stato can...

Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad gebucht. Zuerst das Gute: Die Lage in Salthill an der Promenade ist schön, wenn auch etwas weit ins Zentrum. Das Frühstück für 7,50 war auch in Ordnung und die Bedienung schnell und freundlich. Die Sauberkeit war auch in Ordnung. Das war es dann aber auch schon. Zimmer und Bad waren extrem klein, unpraktisch, keine Ablagemöglichkeiten im Bad, kein Nachttisch, kein Platz für Koffer. Man muss das Gepäck auf den Boden legen, obwohl sowieso schon k...

Went this morning for 2 coffees and 2 toast, they wanted €9 for 4 slices of toast!!!! Went up to the gourmet food parlour and got all for €8.70. How can those prices be justified??

Es ist einfach eine gute Atmosphäre, alle Mitarbeitenden wollen, dass wir Gäste uns wohl fühlen. Natürlich ist es sauber etc. - das erwähne ich nur der Vollständigkeit halber. Das Frühstück ist mit € 8 nicht günstig, aber es ist das wert. Ich geniesse es, im Aufenthaltsbereich zu sitzen, zu lesen, mich zu unterhalten. Die Zimmer haben deshalb keine volle Punktzahl bekommen (obwohl die Betten toll sind, es genügend Locker hat...), weil es keine Haken für die Handtücher und Jacken g...
