Lonely Planet Guide 2013 rated us the 'Top Choice' in Galway and said, 'Overlooking one corner of Eyre Square, Kinlay House has recently been taken over by new owners who are elevating this modern, brightly lit place to even higher standards while retaining a fun, friendly and secure atmosphere.' (Catherine Le Nevez, Lonely Planet author)

This newly refurbished hostel reopened in January 2012 after extensive renovations. With 20 years experience in the hostel business, we know how to look after our guests!

Our multi-award-winning hostel is located in the heart of the city centre, on the corner of Eyre Square.

Whether you’re visiting Galway on your own or as part of a group, you’ll feel perfectly at home in Kinlay!

Please note that large groups may be required to pay a security deposit upon check-in. This deposit is fully refundable upon checkout once all house rules and other guests have been respected.
