5 reasons to stay in a hostel rather than a hotel

5 reasons to stay in a hostel rather than a hotel

When it comes to accommodation choices in the vibrant city of Galway, travellers often find themselves torn between the comfort of hotels and the communal spirit of hostels. Both options offer unique experiences, but a hostel in Galway makes for a compelling stay. 

Here are five factors that might sway your decision.

1. A cheaper stay = more spending money

One of the primary perks of choosing a hostel in Galway is the affordability. Hostels typically provide a pocket-friendly alternative, leaving you with extra cash to relish the city’s cultural offerings, diverse cuisine, and vibrant nightlife. Your stay in Galway doesn’t have to burn a hole in your wallet, and the more money you save on where you sleep, the more funds you have to extend your adventures. At Woodquay Hostel, you’ll find rooms from as little as €22 a night!

2. Embrace the chance to meet new people

For solo travellers or those seeking a more social atmosphere, hostels prove to be an ideal choice. The communal vibe encourages interactions, fostering new friendships and creating an unforgettable stay. Share stories, travel tips, and laughter with fellow guests in the common areas. Hostels facilitate a shared experience, turning your visit to Galway into a shared adventure. 

3. Private rooms are available too 

Contrary to common belief, hostels offer more than just dormitory-style accommodations. Many hostels provide private rooms for those desiring a more personal retreat. Bask in the social aspects of hostel life during the day, and retreat to the solace of your private space at night. Enjoy the best of both worlds, appealing to both extroverted and introverted travellers. At Woodquay, our private spaces start from only €59!

4. Immerse yourself in local culture

Staying at a hostel immerses you in the heart of Galway’s local culture. Positioned right in the beating heart of the city, hostels like Woodquay allow you to experience the authenticity and vibrancy of the town, as if you were a local! Wander through nearby attractions, explore quaint shops, and revel in lively pubs—all within walking distance. Hostels offer an authentic city experience that goes beyond the typical tourist trail.

5. Ideal for large bookings

Hostels are an excellent choice for those planning large group stays. This accommodation option provides the perfect setting for group bookings, ensuring that everyone can stay together and share the experience, without the hefty price tag. From solo travellers to family reunions or school trips, hostels offer the flexibility and space needed for accommodating a significant number of people comfortably. Enjoy the camaraderie of your group in a setting that fosters social connections, making your stay in Galway truly memorable.
