Overly expensive for what it is, light sleepers BEWARE
Pros:

Not a whole lot, it's close to the train station so it's an easy walk to get to and from otherwise the property itself was a let down.

Cons:

The place is a dump, it smells musty, was left dusty and dirty, sheets had stains, the orange covers seen in the photos are ever washed. Not to mention the room is incredibly small. There wasn't even room for my carry on to properly fit. The walls are paper thin you can hear your neighbours doing EVERYTHING, even talking at a normal volume and the windows might as well just be open holes to the outside there's zero sound proofing and it's nearly impossible to sleep. From loud street goers until 3:30-4:00 am to then street cleaners at 5:30 am to the constant squawking of the seagulls all day and night there's zero reprieve. The only way to close the door properly to the room is to slam it. You'll hear EVERYTHING. People coming and going, people using the bathrooms, other activities... there's no ac or even a fan, never saw a kitchenette that they speak of. For the price it's worth it to get a real room at a hotel you'll spend the same with proper amenities. The staff is also non existent.

A place to sleep and shower
Pros:

Close proximity to town. Lots of interesting streets with a variety of shops and dining options nearby. It was cheaper than many other lodging options nearby. It was noisy in town at night, since we were close to a club, but it kind of provided us with a cool glimpse of Galway nightlife. Self check-in/out was easy. Parking lot right next door, but was a bit spendy, so bring coins and follow the advice sent in the email for cheaper parking.

Cons:

Teeny tiny room with little space to walk around bed or store luggage. Bathroom shower didn't drain well, but we were happy to have our own bathroom. Spendy for what we got, but much cheaper than other options. It served its purpose for a night before moving on.

Trångt, rent, bra läge.
Pros:

Läget är perfekt.

Cons:

Jag förstår konceptet men tråkigt att inte få heja på sin värd. Extremt litet rum, men sängkläder / WC var rena det är ju det viktiga.

Great location but very small room
Pros:

Location of Hotel was perfect. It was in the heart of the town. It was clean and easily accessible.

Cons:

The size of the room was disappointing. There was not enough room for 2 people to move comfortably. One person needed to be on the bed if another was walking around. Also the fire detection device was broke, the cover was off and did not look safe

Pros:

Stay was good for the price. Private bathroom and a place to stay in the city center.

Cons:

You get what you pay for, small room and loud club next door. Bring earplugs/earbuds and you will be good.
