This comfortable, modern hostel is set in the centre of Galway, just 100 metres from Eyre Square. The Dawson Galway City offers a free Wi-Fi zone and a large outdoor terrace.

The Dawson Galway has a 24-hour reception and offers currency exchange and a large luggage room with lockers to store all belongings. The location was great, but my absolute favorite was the kitchen size. Even when everyone was cooking, there were 3 different stovetops. Most hostels don't have such roomy dining rooms. Also, free breakfast was appreciated. The other travelers were also friendly just like the staff.
