It was adequate for our purpose.
Pros:

Great location. Bed was comfortable enough and room fairly clean. Good price.

Cons:

Room was nothing like the picture and description on booking.com. Barely room to move. Even getting in the shower was a challenge. Despite the price I would not have booked this room if I had known how tiny it was. Worked out OK since it was a short overnight but not a place to stay for more than a quick sleep.

If what you need is a clean crash-pad
Pros:

The location is perfect, particularly for those using the bus or train. The space itself was perfectly clean and the water was hot.

Cons:

The room was essentially a cubicle; not enough space for use-able horizontal surfaces, no place to put luggage or clothes, no cup or glass in bathroom, no ability to make a morning cup of coffee. No window....in fact, it appears that the window was walled over. The outside of the building appears to have a window where the space is, so some money was spent to erase the window.

the heating system didn't respond to my efforts to get heat. At one point it did turn on but only stayed on a couple of hours. In the morning the space was colder than the outside.
Why my high-ish review? If what you need is a crash-pad for a day with a reasonable (Galway prices) stay-rate, this may well be the place for you to check out.

The price was cheap and we got what we paid for as a result.
Pros:

The location was easily walkable for central Galway. The price was cheap and we got what we paid for as a result.

Cons:

The room was windowless and the lighting was blinding. There was no hand soap or soap of any kind. We left a day early and when we tried to lock the door, the lock wasn't working, so we couldn't have stayed if we wanted.
