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.

I’d stay again. Great price, excellent location, clean room.
Pros:

I loved the ease of getting into the facility and the cleanliness of the room. The location is great. I ate at two restaurants and drank in two pubs right on the block. I didn’t have a problem with noise, even though it’s on a crowded street.

Cons:

Nothing

lovely time! really appreciated the tea and biscuit in the morning.
Pros:

We loved the location. Lots of parking in the lot nearby and great shopping/pubs so close! Such a nicely decorated room. Good hot water in the shower.

Cons:

The pillows could have been a little thicker. A bit difficult for a side sleeper

Nice but wouldn't stay here again
Pros:

The decor of the room. Comfy bed and very clean

Cons:

Could hear everything out on the street. Even people just talking. Everything was loud. Plus there a noise in the room every so often and during the night it was like a generator running or something. Very loud and annoying. Kept us awake
