Chill out with fellow backpackers at this fantastically located abode. Ensuite dorms and private rooms are sparkly clean, and the price of your bed includes continental breakfast, all day tea and coffee, city tours, discounted tour tickets and organised weekly events - go surf for yet more super duper offers. A well-stocked lounge (we're talking DVDs, foosball and board games) make for a homely retreat. And don't worry if packing ain't your forte - hairdryers, adaptors and even alarm clocks are among the hireable essentials. The 24hr reception and no curfew positively demands nightime exploration of the neighbouring warren of pub and club-strewn streets. And if you're galloping to Galway, check out their sister hostel. Free Wi-fi available or 15 mins free access on public computers.
