Absolutely amazing room! Staff was incredibly friendly- esp Sioban, who called before our arrival to make sure we knew where to park. The bar downstairs was fun as well with a great band and lots of energy . Would definitely recommend!

Property location is PERFECT! In the heart of Eyre Square and all the pubs, restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The Skeff Pub was awsome for any time of the day. Also visited the adjacent coffee shop NERO quite often for early morning and afternoon coffee. Great little spot!

Lovely hotel and staff were wonderful. There was live music that was loud though, and we were hoping for good sleep. Maybe we should have known that Galway city centre is lively. We had never been there before.

The place was great. It’s definitely worth a younger crowd who doesn’t mind a lot of music because the place is bumping at night, but it was so cute. The decor was cute. The people were amazing there. I had a great time my mom not so much lol

Loved our stay!

We loved it! All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We felt immediately welcome. The room was basic but all we needed. Breakfasts were delicious and varied enough to have something different each day. The hotel provide earplugs because of the noise of the bar downstairs but we found the room quiet and slept easily. The proximity to nightlife and sightseeing made it a perfect walkable location.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Basic rooms, but very comfortable and clean. Excellent location for walking the town, and the Skeff Bar is uncomprable in selection, fun, and service.
