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.

Pros:

Great location to step out for a walk around the town; bars and restaurants are all within walking distance from this location. It is on a busy bar street, but the noise was not really noticeable once the window is closed.

Comfy enough for two nights in Galway
Pros:

Excellent location near the Latin Quarter. The Macnas parade went right by the hotel! Though there is no inside staff they are very responsive to requests.

Cons:

Room was a bit small for three people, especially the bathroom and shower.

Pros:

Great location. Clean room with comfortable beds and a good shower. We had a nice little balcony. Coffee and tea supplied. It was really nice and I would stay again.

Cons:

My only suggestion is that I wish housekeeping would automatically check to replenish coffee pods. You have to remember to put a sign out if you want them and they are only there between 11 and 3. Not a bit deal, but when you are travelling, you don't always think about those things.

Mysig lägenhet nära allt. Tydliga instruktioner vid incheckning. Mycket trafik och glada rop från pubarna. Precis som de
Pros:

Nära till centrala delar. Rent, praktiskt och smakfullt inrett. Snabb och tydlig återkoppling på frågor.

Great location
Pros:

The location is terrific the beds are comfortable and the check in is straightforward.

Cons:

We were in room 5 and the light coming in through the thin curtains from the street lights was way too bright. There is also a fair amount of noise from revellers in the street up till around 2 in the morning.
They really need to replace the curtains with much thicker heavier curtains. That will stop the light coming in and also help muffle the street noise.
