The room was really clean and new feeling. Staff was great! Check in was easy. However, the room is small and the TV didn't work. Overall a great spot for a 1 or 2 night stay.

What a little gem this hotel is. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were so happy to be in the heart of the Latin quarter. It was noisy as hell, but they gave us ear plugs so we slept very well!

Crazy convenient, and well run with helpful folks at the desk at all hours. The room was tiny, but they made good use of the space. Warning: if you're sleeping with a partner, there was only one way in and out of our bed, so if somebody needs to get up in the middle of the night, it wouldn't be ideal. I don’t know whether other rooms are like that.

The Snug offers a “pod” for sleeping - contemporary decor, clean and central to pedestrian centre. Slightly awkward sharing space, logistics had to be considered!! Staff very helpful, no breakfast so comparatively expendive.

Great place to stay. It's right on the main drag street with tons of restaurants and outdoor seating. We even had a room with windows on the side with the street and we didn't have a hard time sleeping! We were shocked!

This property is adorable with wonderful, welcoming staff. It's in a busy, vibrant area right in the thick of things in Galway (but they give you ear plugs 😉). Note: bring your USB plug; there are no ports in the rooms. Other than that, perfect.

Great hotel with an amazing location!

This place was amazing! I was a little bit skeptical because of the name, but the location is literally in the heart of Galway, everything is walkable and despite its name the room was excellent and very well laid out.

Wonderful modern and efficient design of room. Attentive staff. Lively neighborhood made for a noisy night, which was a problem only because we were leaving on a ferry early the next morning. Otherwise it was an enjoyable area

Clean and cozy room with a comfy bed and a spacious toilet. Very conveniently located in the Latin Quarter just a short walk from Eyre Square and Ceannt Station. You step from the door into the center of Galway’s vibrant nightlife with shops, restaurants, and pubs (replete with live traditional music) immediately outside. It’s the first hotel I’ve seen that offered earplugs along with a hair dryer (perhaps because the walls and ceiling readily transmit sound) but I had no problem falling asleep. The staff is friendly and willing to offer useful advice.
