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.

Great
Pros:

Central and nice room / decor. Easy to access.

Cons:

Heating and cooling was poor. Unfortunately lots of road noise however provided ear plugs which was helpful.

A due passi dal quartiere latino
Pros:

Posizione eccellente, praticamente in pieno centro.
Stanza molto ampia e pulita.
Abbiamo apprezzato molto la macchina per caffè con capsule compatibili Nespresso.
Non abbiamo avuto alcun contatto con il personale della struttura, si svolge tutto online. Sono comunque gentilissimi e le informazioni sono chiare e dettagliate.

Cons:

Il bagno è davvero molto piccolo e un pò datato, andrebbe sicuramente ristrutturato. Sarebbe utile mettere almeno la doccia mobile invece di un unico soffione a parete.

great loctaion and comfy stay
Pros:

loved the quirkiness of the building and the little touches in the room (blindfold and earplugs next to our beds). Really comfy beds and extra beautiful, soft blankets if needed.

Cons:

having to walk my suitcase up the 2 flight of stairs but I did know this was the situation before hand. also it would have been nice to have a unit or stoll in the bathroom to place clothes or make up bags on. there was enough space to have this.

Pros:

The room was very big with a lot of space. The location is perfect just minutes from the town, with nice views from the windows. Very modern rooms and good amenities.

Cons:

There is no luggage storage available at the property and the stairs for the 3rd floor can be quite lengthy. TV is small, but no big deal.
