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.

Stunning rooms in a perfect location
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful rooms in the heart of Galway - stunning location, I had a room with a few onto the river, the room and the interior was gorgeous, clean and spacious. I was visiting in February and during the work week, so I didn't have any issues with noise. Overall very, very happy with my stay there.

Cons:

Nothing, all good.
