Excellent location and really Comfy rooms!!!
Jamie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location. Food was great. The only complaint would be no ac in hotel and it’s very loud being above the bars/restaurants. Bring your own shower cap, bar soap, shampoo/condition. Would stay again just in a back room not street side.

Ivonne, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very central and has all the mod cons you need for a short stay.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Conveniently located. Close to restaurants, pubs and shopping. Average room. After parking in the incredibly small Spanish arch car park, we opted to park several blocks away in a larger car park.
jodi, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room was very clean and looked recently updated but very small. Staff was amazing. It was very loud late at night and early morning making it difficult to sleep well

Great service!
Dave, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved how easy it was to get everywhere. The restaurant and bar were great!
Sydney, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Amazing location with parking

Hotel was a bit hard to find but once inside it had a fun, funky vibe. The room was clean but incredibly small and the toilet was not working properly. Parking is right next store and there is shopping and restaurants as soon as you walk out the door.
Jessica, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

A bit noisy with the pub downstairs. Better to request a room in the higher floors.
Kathy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

In the middle of Galway. Best location
JOSEPH, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location and amazing staff!
Roman, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice hotel except you’re above a bar that plays live music until 1am. Bring earplugs.
Tamra, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our stay here was dantastic. The location was oerfect for sightseeing, food, and nightlife. It is loud at night due to the nightlife in the area, but we expected that.
Jeanine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

PERFECT location if your looking for easy shopping and dining options. Relaxed nightlife on Quay street just steps out the door.
Cody, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Parking is literally next door - great value given the location. Staff are super friendly. And they left a nice note and a box of chocolates when I asked for something special for my gf. Lovely touch and really appreciated. The room itself is lovely, new and clean. Great bathroom and shower/bath. Zero complaints.
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Ah, Galway! If you want to be in the heart of music, pubs, and shops- and stay at a fun, hip and comfortable place, look no further.
Peter, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Hotel was fine, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The noise was far worse than we could have imagined. We were kept up until 2 am when the music stopped. Discount on parking was not as described. We were charged full fee and when we asked the parking employee we were blown off that we had already paid so nothing they could do. Our bad for not doing more due diligence on the hotel. Great location if you aren’t concerned about sleeping.
Paul, 1-night trip
