Loved the Location and Hot shower!
Pros:

Lovely, tiny room, comfy SNUG hotel! The staff were friendly and helpful. Shower was hot and powerful and the bed was comfy too. Noisy in the Latin Quarter with the Quays pub right outside the window, but we loved the added touch of giving us ear plugs. Using the white noise app on Spotify was also a great help in blocking out the outside street noise. Parking was a 5 minute walk away for a discounted rate.

Cons:

Outside noise but NOT a deal breaker. If you are a light sleeper, It may be a difficult place to stay.

The most perfect location with tiny, cute rooms.
Pros:

Perfect location!! Super cute hotel!

Cons:

The tiniest hotel room ever imaginable, but I’d still prefer to stay here than anywhere else.

Best welcome to Galway’s city life, easy drive out to Connemara if you’d like!
Pros:

Location in terms of how close everything was!!

Cons:

There is a bar and it gets rowdy but we knew that going in! We loved our stay, maybe the room could have been a little bigger but it’s not called the snug house for nothing!

Good location ridiculously tiny capsule like room
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The room was so tiny and because of the shape there was not even room for 2 people to sit on the bed. I had to request a stool for the room as my husband would have otherwise been forced to sit on the toilet. We were offered a slightly larger disabled room but there was no window or natural light in it.

Location made up for how small room 32 is.
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Room 32 was TINY, literally not even room for two of us to stand side by side between the bed and the wall. No window just a skylight. I don’t think the skylight has good insulation as we were kept awake til 3am with the music.
I stayed here before but in a different room with much more floor space and a window and had no issue with street noise.

Pros:

Het is een toplocatie midden in het feestgedruis. Binnen hoor je overigens niks van. Ideaal plekje.

Cons:

De kamer is wel heel klein. Ik had daar ook niet naar gekeken bij het boeken. Op zich ook helemaal niet erg, we zijn niet in Gajway om in het hotel te blijven..

Pros:

Kedves személyzet, központi elhelyezkedésű szállás, tisztaság.

Cons:

Nem csak kuckós, hanem egyenesen miniatűr szobák. Ketten nem lehet benne elférni, valakinek a fürdőszobában kell lenni, hogy a másik le tudja venni a cipőjét. Csak egy fogás van, a csomagot az ágy alá kell tenni. Nem látszik a képeken, hogy ennyire kicsi a szoba.

Pros:

I loved place. It was so cute and cozy. The bed was so comfortable. Hearing music in the street, being able to get a flavor for the city from a safe location, it was better than I expected.

Cons:

The room was small, I had a brief stay so it didn't matter. But for a longer stay having a closet is good.
But for what I needed, it was perfect.

Pros:

La ubicación está genial, justo en la calle principal, lo cual también puede ser un problema ya que hay bastante ruido por la noche (hay un pub justo en frente).
En la recepción dan un ticket descuento para el parking de coche, lo cual se agradece bastante.

Cons:

El ruido exterior de la gente cantando en el pub de justo abajo.

Boa!
Pros:

A localização é impecável, a um passo do coração de Galway e ao lado do estacionamento que indicam, por €12.
Chuveiro bom, cama confortável

Cons:

No nosso quarto não tinha janela. Talvez por isso não precisamos usar os tapa ouvidos que eles disponibilizam, mas me deu um pouco de nervoso e não tinha observado isso quando reservei.

Perfect location
Pros:

Great location, lovely staff, very clean.

Cons:

Snug is the operative word with very small rooms but wasn’t a big deal.
