A place to sleep and shower
Pros:

Close proximity to town. Lots of interesting streets with a variety of shops and dining options nearby. It was cheaper than many other lodging options nearby. It was noisy in town at night, since we were close to a club, but it kind of provided us with a cool glimpse of Galway nightlife. Self check-in/out was easy. Parking lot right next door, but was a bit spendy, so bring coins and follow the advice sent in the email for cheaper parking.

Cons:

Teeny tiny room with little space to walk around bed or store luggage. Bathroom shower didn't drain well, but we were happy to have our own bathroom. Spendy for what we got, but much cheaper than other options. It served its purpose for a night before moving on.

Trångt, rent, bra läge.
Pros:

Läget är perfekt.

Cons:

Jag förstår konceptet men tråkigt att inte få heja på sin värd. Extremt litet rum, men sängkläder / WC var rena det är ju det viktiga.

Great location but very small room
Pros:

Location of Hotel was perfect. It was in the heart of the town. It was clean and easily accessible.

Cons:

The size of the room was disappointing. There was not enough room for 2 people to move comfortably. One person needed to be on the bed if another was walking around. Also the fire detection device was broke, the cover was off and did not look safe

Pros:

Stay was good for the price. Private bathroom and a place to stay in the city center.

Cons:

You get what you pay for, small room and loud club next door. Bring earplugs/earbuds and you will be good.

Pros:

Le lit est la sale de bain sont. Super l’emplacement est très bien positionner.

Cons:

Le bruit de la route ainsi que des passant surtout en soirée peu rendre pour les moins gros dormeur difficile la nuit, après nous y somme aller un samedi soir je pense que en semaine le bruit des passant ( qui était pour la plus part sortie des bar ) doit être moins important

Pros:

If you are simply looking for somewhere cheap to crash after being out at night then this place is perfect, but do not expect a cosy or cute place. Bathroom was clean and shower is nice.

Cons:

The window is thin so you hear everything from the street, bring ear plugs. Also the room was cold in January so we set the heater to be on while we were out so that it was warm when we came back.
