The breakfast is not to be missed! The rooms were clean and well equipped. The staff and other guests were very welcoming and friendly - all very down to earth. If you’re a pretentious pain in the behind, don’t corrupt this wonderfully place!
Wade, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely staff and facilities, and great value

Good value, very helpful staff and convenient location with adequate parking for a motorcycle. Breakfast was very good value with ample choice of breads cheese and pastries and fresh coffee. Although we vacated the room by the required time of 10am, we were able to sit comfortably in the lounge/dining area while we planned our journey and charged our phones, with no pressure to leave.
Chris, 1-night trip

Galway stay over

The set up was a little strange and cramped. We had issues locating the hotel through GPS. We did appreciate the parking space

I’m not a hostel person at all but I had a great stay at The Nest - the staff were friendly and helpful, everything was clean, beds were super comfy, and most importantly it was quiet!
Philippa, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were great! The building itself was super cool & felt secure! Although not in galway city proper, the area was fantastic & would highly recommend exploring & not too far of a walk! The only thing I would say is that the breakfast was a little pricey for what was included.
Emily, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful place to stay in Galway! The staff who greeted us on the night we arrived was kind and helpful. Parked car in the small lot the first night and street the next (Sat) night. I’ll stay again next time I visit Galway.
