Very small room, but great location

Fabulous location! Was very clean and was able to check in early, which was nice. The room was exceptionally small, like basically a bed and room to open the door and that was it. We also had an issue one night with air conditioning going off and it got insanely hot as we were on the top floor. We are used to small hotel rooms as we travel a lot in Europe, but this was by far the smallest. Not a problem unless you are a bigger person or need more space to move around. We would stay here again just ask for a larger room.

Snuggled up in Galway

Just as the name describes, the hotel room is quite snug. It’s nuzzled in between a small convenience store and burger joint. The location itself, was spectacular. Everything you could possibly want was within walking distance of the hotel. With this being said, you are right in the heart of the downtown bar scene with everything that entails. Which may be someone hosting a drum solo outside your window at 2AM or drunken patrons loudly singing whilst walking back to their own “snug” hotel room. If we were to visit again I think we might opt for a slightly larger hotel room off of the main strip. All that being said, we very much enjoyed our stay and I think it was a great way to experience Galway.

Stay was exactly what you expected it to be. Perfect small comfortable accommodation right in the action of it all. A couple things were broken in the room and it was super loud at night due to the location. Bed comfortable and cool to sleep in.

This was a great location if you wanted to be close to pubs, restaurants and music. The nights are very noisy and the room doesn’t block much out, but that is the price you pay for being in the fun part of town 😊 they do provide ear plugs though.

Loved the street the hotel sits on it’s so festive! The room was tight but I expected that, I appreciated having the space under the bed to store our luggage and a shelf for our phones. The bathroom had a good sized counter to put stuff on and a “closet” space making it easy to get our stuff up and out of the way

Check-in was quick and the beds were extremely comfortable. The best night sleep we had in a week of our travels. The only thing about this property is there is no elevator. We had several suitcases we had to lug up a couple flights of stairs. However, staff did offer to help us up the stairs if we wanted. The property is in the heart of shopping, food, etc. Yet, even with all the activity in the street below us, we did not hear a thing in our room (that was facing the street below). We would definitely stay here again.

The location was lovely. It’s on a pedestrian walkway so parking is not on premise. The rooms are definitely snug. Parking was about an 8 minute walk. The property is close to shopping, pubs, and restaurants. There is no lift so you’re caring your bags up the stairs with the help of the staff.

Be prepared for a very small room, but the bed was very comfortable. No amenities at this property - including no ice machines. The location is so convenient to restaurants and shopping, the lack of amenities can be over-looked.
