Great location but a very small room for two people and noisy from the surrounding pubs
Pros:

Good location right in the heart of Galway

Cons:

As the name suggests the rooms are tiny almost claustrophobic. No room to store luggage and now window that opens. As you are on the Main Street you can hear the Irish music until the wee hours.

Quirky & in great location.
Pros:

The location was fabulous. The beds were very comfortable.

Cons:

Our 2 bedroom unit was very quirky but only suitable for a short stay. The shower room without toilet or places to hang towels was on the ground floor entry level. The two comfortable large double beds and small ensuites were on the next two levels up steep stairs. There was no storage space or place to sit except on the beds which were situated against walls. It was clean & well equipped & would suit two young couples with no children for overnight stays. We loved the location. Left suitcases in car in nearby carpark.

Pros:

Staff was friendly. Location is very central.

Cons:

The snug rooms are REALLY small considering the price of the rooms. Our room's ventilation didn't work, and as we had a roof window, we tried to open to air and dry the place. Only issue was that the rooftops of other buildings have the ventilation of surrounding restaurants = strong food smells.

Great Location
Pros:

Excellent Location, which is why we booked this hotel. Walking distance from the train (which is how we arrived) and you are in the heart of everything. There were 4 people in our party so we had the larger room, which was basically a 2-bedroom stay, each with their own half bath.

Cons:

Because we had the larger room and it contained stairs, the Emergency light sign next to the steps going down was annoyingly bright and a bit disruptive to sleep. Great Location = noisy streets
