I've stayed at Snoozles Hostel, Galway on a number of occasions...
I often ask if they have a private (single/ double) room rather than a dorm... and if they have one available, I usually get it for 1 or 2 nights at a very reasonable price (subject to "off-peak" time of the year and more likely during the week rather than at the weekend...)
The staff are very friendly and helpful, the place is kept very clean and tidy... everything about it says... professionalism!
Yours, John Hopkins
