I would stay here again for the location and the price.
Pros:

Very close to the city, we walked in multiple times. Right next to street parking and many restaurants. There were towels and laundry available for a fee. There were multiple spaces to enjoy in the building and an outdoor area as well.

Cons:

The check in didn’t open until 10am. The wifi did not reach our room on the second floor.

Heureusement que ce n’était que pour une nuit
Pros:

Proximité avec le centre ville

Cons:

Manque de description pour la réservation. Chambre très petite pas de place pour ouvrir la valise. Impossible de fermer la cabine de douche car les joints étaient tous décollés. Photo du logement avec cuisine, une fois arrivées dans le logement pas de cuisine (il s’agit d’une cuisine commune un peu plus haut à l’étage). Pas de fenêtre. Odeur de cannabis dans le couloir en permanence.
Hôte inexistant n’a pas pris la peine de répondre à un de mes messages une fois arrivé dans le logement.

Pros:

Room was clean. In the center. For 1-2 nights is fine, but for more than 2 days - better no.

Cons:

No window, kitchen little bit dirty.

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.
