As the name implies, the rooms are tiny. However, you’re in the middle of everything and so many pubs and shopping right nearby. If I stayed there again, I would get my own room. I traveled with my sister so it was a bit cramped. Outside noise will keep you up if you are an early to bed person. It quiets down around midnight. For our needs, it worked out ok but we stayed just 2 nights.

A little Snug but did the trick

The name of the hotel describes the rooms - snug - but you are not in Galway for the room. The location and service are excellent.

I loved everything about this hotel. The room was definitely "Snug" but the design layout definitely made the room very functional. The staff was welcoming, with a wonderful sense of humor. The location was absolutely perfect, and allowed us to even enjoy the liveliness of the street below our window. I loved the energy! Note: The hotel has no elevators and is not in a peaceful spot.

Great staff. Great location. Room was very clean. The only negatives were the noise from the street, but we knew about that going in. Its worth staying here for a night just to party in the Latin Quarter.

It’s a perfect place to stay, a bit overpriced but it’s what we have. Also if you can’t sleep with noise I don’t think it’s a good place since is basically in the middle of the party 🎶 (I’m not complaining) last but not least the mattress were amazing.

Great location

Location amazing. It is loud as the bar is open until 2am across the street but the leave ear plugs in the room for you. Easy to walk to from the bus station. We had the family room so lots of space, the other rooms may be very snug.

The room was snug as you would expect but was cleverly designed so everything you need - hanging space, tea and coffee, storage for luggage - was available. Air conditioning was good especially as our room had no windows. This hotel is ideal for a short stay, right in the centre of town.

Our room was lovely but unfortunately stank of wet dog. It was a Saturday night and super loud as it’s above the pubs although they did provide earplugs. Wouldn’t recommend if you aren’t going out as you won’t sleep well but if you are it’s in a great location

Staff was amazing and very helpful that said drunk locals stood outside and yelled trying to wake guests and banged on doors after bars closed. Lastly, the Back Alleyway that you had to walk through To get to room was filled with overflowing garbage bins.
