The room was located in the perfect area! Very central to most Galway city which was great for our trip. The room was also very clean and the staff was very friendly!
I loved the place. It was a great location right in the heart of the Latin quarter. However, others in our group found the the space to be a bit too snug.
Very cozy and comfy little room with a nice skylight to wake up with natural light to.
Smack-dab in the middle of the tourist area which had major pros, since it was a short walk to everything we wanted to try and a short walk from the bus and train station.
Room was well-insulated from the noise and music of the area.
Would recommend for any tourists!
Very cozy room. If you have mobility issues please be aware that there is no elevator so you might have to haul luggage upstairs.
But this was an incredible place to stay, so close to everything!
The location was great and the staff were lovely--however the room was very small and had to crawl into the bed which made it tough and won't suit people who have mobility issues in terms of getting in and out of the bed. Other than that-given the location I expected to hear noise but it was quiet. I would stay there again .
Very good location close to bars/restaurants/shops. Staff friendly and helpful. A bit noisy at night due to location but this was expected so no complaints.
Our host at the front desk (Rory) was extremely helpful and provided many recommendations for places to visit while in Galway.
The rooms were very comfortable and cozy, right in the heart of the city.

Staff were lovely, small room but cozy, lots of teas and coffees, shower was lovely, great for price
It was exactly what I was looking for, right in the heart of the town and close to everything. Even though the city was lively, my room was very quiet thanks to excellent soundproofing. The front desk staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful with my requests.
Clean room, great staff, centrally located. Do not book a room overlooking the main street or you will have a difficult time sleeping. Chose one further back into the building.

Room was functionally good for our purposes (brief stay). Staff was courteous and always available. Great location, surrounded by nightlife and excellent food.
Excellent property in a fantastic location. They provided slippers and earplugs which were an unexpected perk for the location. I slept very well here. Great feel for the city. Walkable to many restaurants and pubs as well as local attractions. Bonus points for a great shower!

Incredibly friendly staff and all of the rooms amenities were top notch.Perfect central location and great prices.100% recommend.
Nice room and the staff was wonderful. Location was not fantastic as our room is right over a pub that played loud music very late into the morning, not the hotel’s fault, but if I had realized how loud the location of our room would be, I probably would’ve opted to stay elsewhere. Overall, minus sleep, it was a great spot.
A great little micro hotel in the heart of the pub scene in Galway City. Everything was very clean. There were few amenities but for the price of the room and the location we were happy. It does get noisy in the night due to the location, but we packed ear plugs so we did not mind.
