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.

The Snug was small but comfortable and ideally located. The only issue was that we had rooms facing the street, making it impossible to sleep at night. The noise from the pub and street revellers went on past 2:30 am, only to be followed by kegs being dragged onto the street for morning pickup and early morning (before 7:00 am) deliveries and street cleaning. I am sure it is excellent if you do not get one of the rooms directly over the street. We are hardy travellers and don't get fussed over much, but I am telling you it was impossible to sleep.

This place is in a renovated 12th century (?) inn, so go in expecting smaller rooms, but they do it with such style and class it’s hard to not be absolutely impressed with this place! The staff is beyond helpful, super sweet, and you really can’t beat the location - within walking distance of everything. There is no parking on site bc it’s in the pedestrian area, but the Spanish arch parking garage is literally around the corner and the day rates are great. The bed is also massive, so plenty of room to relax when you get back from your days of exploration. Recommend static noise when you sleep if you are a light sleeper - they also provide ear plugs if that is more your thing. They also sell Irish plug converters that will fit all plugs except USB/Type C for €6 in the vending machines.

The Snug Townhouse was the perfect place to stay in Galway. As you step out the front door you are greeted by the Bronze Galway Girl. Restaurants, Pubs and shopping literally steps away. The staff had great recommendations for dinner places that were top notch! If you want to immerse yourself into the heart of Galway I would highly recommend this place!!!

It truly is a small space, but is very cute and efficient in the way it is designed. The staff were extremely friendly and flexible. Since it is located in a busy area, there is some measure of noise that transferred through the walls. Ear plugs were provided, but it is good to be aware of the noise should you be a light sleeper.

The Snug hotel was true to its name, our room was very compact, but clean and a comfortable bed for our one night stay in Galway. The location can’t be beat and the hotel staff was very helpful in providing recommendations for the local area. We didn’t have any issues with noise as other have mentioned. It does take a bit of rearranging to have two suitcases open at once as floor space is minimal but there is a space under the bed to keep one larger suitcase open at all times. Also, there is no elevator for those that would need one. It was 4 flights of stairs to our room, which was very manageable. Overall, for a short stay, this was a great place and we would definitely stay again.
