My experience at the hostel was overall pretty good. I met many amazing people and formed friendships. Galway is a lovely city that I will truly miss. The volunteer work was easy, but not particularly enjoyable. One downside was that volunteers were often on different shifts, so we didn't get to work together as a group. This made it harder to spend time together. I also occasionally felt that the management didn't fully appreciate the effort we put in, which affected the overall experience.

Bittersweet experience at the hostel in Galway. The city is amazing and the staff and volunteers are lovely. However, volunteers are treated more like free workers than part of a cultural exchange—because, even though 20h a week is fair, the 5h shifts are strict and demanding. Also, safety was sometimes an issue, especially with drunk men, and management often ignored them. Great location to explore Galway, but not ideal for a true volunteering experience.

Working at the hostel's has been a good experience in many regards, whether it being learning all the different housekeeping tasks or doing pub crawls! Aisling is a super kind volunteer coordinator who tries to make every wish possible. The other workers are super sweet as well, making work super fun! The hostel is literally in the middle of Galway, getting anywhere is super easy within minutes. As a woman I can say that I felt save walking around at night, the people in general are so kind. The only problem that might arise is the lack of privacy, but you'll find a spot! Definitely worth a stay!

Good experience. Kindly hostel is situated in the center of Galway, the location is great and the hostel is really clean. Asling, who coordinate the volunteers is great, you can ask her when you want you free day. However, the most part of the work is housekeeping (except if you do the pub crawl shift and night porter shift). In the hostel, I really feel good with the worker, but I have the feeling that the management don't consider us and our work. Except that it was a good experience !

It was an excellent experience, unfortunately I had to leave early because my goal in Ireland was to get a full time job, but this hostel is really a very nice place, clean, the staff is friendly, Brian is flexible. If you are responsible you won't have any problems. 100% recommended

I am grateful to Brian for allowing me to be part of his team. He was always open to negotiation, receptive to suggestions, and flexible with schedules, which I greatly appreciated. He also supported me during a difficult personal time, for which I am deeply thankful. Because of this, I couldn't discuss two issues: some permanent staff treated me unpleasantly, and the bosses were so strict about short breaks. Although I enjoyed the work, this volunteering experience was different—I didn't make friends but socialized with locals in pubs or with guests. The facilities were very comfortable.

I really enjoyed volunteering at the hostel! I met amazing people, acquired experience while doing the chores (which are very manageable and not heavy at all), and to top it off breakfast is great (banana bread and soda bread, yum). The schedule can be flexible, so you definitely can work/travel while volunteering. I have only great things to say about the hostel and the staff. Would recommend 100% and would love to come back!
