“Great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2012 NEW

Loved this hostel! It's very well located in a quiet area with shopping and bars close by. I was immensely impressed with the staff when they handled a group of 10 drunk guys coming in and sorting through who pays what and how much. The staff was incredibly patient. I would have kicked them out as they were quite loud and obnoxious! The beds were good and I slept very well. Rooms are very clean. The shower works well but is energy efficient - you need to keep pushing the button for water to continue to flow. Kitchen is fantasic. Lots of room for all the people making meals and very, very clean. Lots of room in the common area for WiFi. I stayed in the 6 bed mixed room and there was plenty of room. Laundry facilities are good. The dryer was not working so they allowed me to use the staff dryer. Great for solo, friends or family travel.

“Looks fancy but at the end of the day, slept poorly and had an awful shower”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2012 via mobile

The place is centrally located and very modern so looks nice. But staff were quite gruff and not particularly welcoming nor helpful. WiFi only works in the common areas. The kitchen is large and there are a few siderooms to try find quieter space to hang out.

We stayed in an 8 bed which the 4 bunk beds filled up. No space to put luggage and no safes in the room (there are ones at reception). There were individual lights by the beds which was great, but only 2 sockets. There was a shower and toilet ensuite in the room...lucky as the girls bathroom was along a hallway, through a few doors and down a floor! The showers in the girls bathroom had see through doors and no room for you to dry off without being in the open.
You have to press a button to turn the water on in the shower...which turned off after 20 or 30 seconds which got frustrating. Had a bad sleep from uncomfortable bed and noisy room mates.

“Best hostel ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2012

This has been the best hostel I ever stayed in! As I'm working in the hospitality industry myself I had high expectations to the sleepzone and they have all been met without any exceptions! I was amazed how clean the hostel is and all the facilities they have. Even it was the Easter weekend it was still very good value especially for what they give you and where the hostel is located. The staff is extremely friendly and helpfull. The hostel is very well run by Paraic, a great manager! The hostel will get even better as they will rebuild the kitchen area in a few months time! Also a plus for the hostel is the free wifi. I'm already now looking forward to returning there!!!

“Great hostel! Clean and modern”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

Sleepzone is one of the cleanest and more modern hostels I have stayed in.
We stayed in a double ensuite which was very comfortable and clean although it was a bit cold in our room.
The kitchen/lounge area is great! Free wifi and plenty of space to prepare meals and eat as well as quite zones with couches and chairs.
All the staff were friendly from the day we arrived and were more than happy to help with advice and recommendations.
Will be recommending sleepzone to anyone who is going to Galway :)

“Cleanest and Spacious”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

Had a good time in Sleepzone. The place is extremely clean (apart from the foul smell, couldn't figure it out from where but not that bad and it came occasionally.) Good value for money. Big enough space in the kitchen to cook and big space for dining. Cosy corner with sofa for reading and stuff like that. Friendly staff, who helped me to call the laundrette before I went over, to check if it opens.

Overall, it is a good place to stay. No doubt about it. Worth for your money.

Room Tip: I didn't get any wifi from my room 14, coz it was all the way to the end of the building. If you...
