"Nice hotel and a good location. The only thing I really don't like was the shower was not very good. It was very short. The water pressure was low and the glass partition to block the water was not very long and so the bathroom got all wet."

10/10 Excellent
"Room was small but absolutely perfect for three nights. You simply cannot get a better location to be right in the heart of the Latin quarter. Yes it can be a little loud, but we knew that by reading reviews beforehand and they also gave us earplugs. If youโ€™re a light sleeper this isnโ€™t the place for you maybe, but the location is absolutely perfection and the staff was amazing. Will absolutely always choose this place when in Galway"
