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!

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 .

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.

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.
