Important information:

Hey there, lovely guests!

First thing's first: stairs! Your bedroom is accessed by stairs - how many stairs depends on whether you're on the first, second or third floor.

We're all about cozy vibes and good times here, but we've got a few ground rules to keep the peace:

Noise curfew at 10 pm: Let's keep it chill after dark. No loud music or karaoke marathons, please. Our security team is on standby, and any disturbances come with a fee.

No parties in the rooms: Take the fun to the streets! Let's keep our neighbors happy and the CCTV quiet.
Smoking's a no-go: Main Street's the spot for a smoke break.
Keep it quiet after 10 pm: We're all about that serene vibe, even at night.
Check out by 11 am: Time to say goodbye to our cozy digs.
And if you ever find yourself locked out or in need of a helping hand, there's a number to call and a call out fee for that too.
Let's make some memories and keep the good vibes flowing! Welcome to our Galway getaway.

A Hidden Surprise.
Pros:

This is a hidden gem. The hotel is centrally located, so easy to find and move around from. It was spotless. Great bed. Easy bathroom facilities. Coffee machine and tea.
The self checkin, is easy, and instructions clear.
While my room was small, but as I was only using it for sleep and shower and keep my bag safe. I recommend this place.

Cons:

The only complaint, and it's minor, there is no lift (and being an old original building, that was never going to happen). My room was on the third floor. My aging body had to have a rest half way up 😂😂😂.

The location was great. Check in and out was seamless.
