My experience at the hostel and the related hostels has been great! The work is easy and varied, with enough time to enjoy Galway and the surrounding area. The volunteer manager, Aliasing, has always been very kind and flexible with the work schedule. Also, the other colleagues and volunteers have been really friendly. It felt quite like being at home. Thanks for everything!

I adored my time at the hostel/Galway City Hostel. More than anywhere in the thirteen months I've been travelling I feel like I became part of the community in Galway, going to open mics and making local friends everywhere I went. All the staff and volunteers are lovely, and I was invited to different events and happenings in their lives. I hope to return one day!

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.
