The room was snug, cozy, new and clean. The location had us smack in the middle of Quay St - festive & convenient! The challenge was the late night music and the incessant bass beat. We asked to move for our 2nd night and the very helpful, friendly front desk obliged. Much quieter the 2nd night.

Great location in Galway and close to everything you need! Despite the loud noises late at night due to being so close to a pub this was fine if you are aware before you book and do your research and in the end the noise wasn't as bad as we first thought it would be so overall a great trip and great hotel! Would stay again

I would definitely stay at The Snug again! The location is really convenient, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are adorable. Yes, they are truly snug, but they have perfect storage and space for two travelers. Being on Quay street means lots of loud noise outside m, but if you know that going in, it’s really not much of a bother.

Location couldn’t be better the only drawback is the noise since it is next to pubs and restaurants. We stayed a Thursday and Friday, Thursday was ok even tho it was noisy, there were people downstairs eating and drinking but Friday night was unbearable. The music and the boom was so loud I had to take a sleeping pill to be able to fall asleep. It was past midnight. Other than that I loved the location.
