Depressing hole with no windows
Pros:

Location

Cons:

This was a depressing place to stay and nothing like the pictures. Don't believe those pretty pictures! We got a room smaller than a bathroom with no window, basically a dungeon where you wouldn't know whether it was day or night. The room is much smaller than the images and in the pictures you can see windows or roof windows but there was nothing like that; just an interior hole with not-great acoustic insulation where you would hear EVERYTHING your neighbours did. The location is great though, but this is not a place I'd come back to particularly because it was super expensive at least when we were visiting.

Cute and cozy spot in the center of the Latin Quarter.
Pros:

Location is perfect. In the center of the Latin quarter (expect noise from the street at night but it didn’t bother us even though we had a street facing room). Room was well styled and tasteful. Everything was very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Not necessarily the property but they do tell you where to park which I appreciate since they have a deal with the lots. But there should be a bit of a warning with the Spanish arch lot, it’s extremely tight and I would have parked at the other lot had I known.

A wonderful way to enjoy the Latin Quarter of Galway and to become immersed from day, one of our tri
Pros:

The snug is a Haven on the liveliest Street in Galway Latin Quarter. It is like a secret hideaway in the midst of both local and tourist activity. It’s a treasure.

Cons:

Only small things. The sheets had little stains on them, but were otherwise clean we were in a handicap accessible room, that was well arranged for the most part. But they have some kind of HVAC rumbling noise. We got used to it and they provide earplugs, but probably people should be warned about that when they book that room. The staff were wonderful and so helpful.
