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.

Not worth the price.
Pros:

Clean. Easy to access. Close to pubs etc.

Cons:

Very noisy. Roadworks. Tanks of water flowing at night etc. no staff really takes away from any hospitality and also way over priced for what it was.

Loved it!
Pros:

Excellent location and lovely room

Cons:

One very minor thing was that I was there during the heatwave and a top sheet on the bed would have been great instead of a duvet.

Hot spot location
Pros:

Perfect location. Walking distance to pubs, restaurants and markets. Comfortable bed and bathroom. Little balcony overlooking the town below. Prime location for a stay in Galway.

Cons:

No parking on-site however there was parking a short walk away. Beware it is quite pricey.

Pros:

Location was awesome, right in the heart of the city. Room was very nice and professionally made. I liked the views especially. Overall, good room for a good value.

Cons:

It would have been a lot better if there was in room AC. It got pretty hot during the day. Also, since there is no on site parking it was a bit of a pain to figure out and pay for.

Pros:

De locatie was oké en de kamer werd netjes opgeruimd door het kamermeisje.

Cons:

Het was heel onprettig dat we van te voren niet wisten dat er geen personeel zou zijn. Onze navigatie kende geen The Galway Rooms. Op het adres vonden wij The Galway Arms. Ter plekke was er een roze deur waar boven The Galway Rooms geschreven stond maar die deur zat op slot. Daarom hebben wij het telefoonnummer op onze boekingsbevestiging gebeld en na de nodige verificatie kregen we een app met de codes. Eentje voor de roze deur en eentje in de handgreep van de kamer deur. In het trappenhuis rook het niet fris. De kamer en de gangen vonden wij het gepimpte oude meuk met een modern verfje. Wij waren hier twee nachten en na ons vertrek kregen we alsnog een mail met hoe het met die code ging. Na onze reactie daarop werd gezegd dat Booking.com hun mails te laat doorstuurt.

Nice little place with a good location
Pros:

Pretty room with an excellent location.

Cons:

Quite noisy. People moving in the hallway sounded like they were next to you. Also some road work was done under the window. Earplugs were provided by the hotel.

Cute apartment in Galway
Pros:

This was such a cute place to stay in Galway. We were sent our check-in instructions on time, they were easy and the place was super clean. Honestly, we saved money by staying in this part of Galway and everything was accessible by walking. Highly recommend.

Cons:

Only thing was there was a lot of stairs to our room, but not a huge deal

Lovely stay in the heart of the west end
Pros:

Location was wonderful, the eye masks and ear plugs were very much appreciated, and it was everything we needed for the night we were there. Staff were responsive and check in/out were very easy. The room was adorable too!

Cons:

It would be great to have a fan. The air sits, which caused us to have to open the windows, which was a bit loud. We were fine with the noise until a car alarm kept going off. The windows are sound dampening which is fantastic, but if there was a fan in the room, we wouldn’t have had to open the window. Also the tv volume was stuck at 35 (???) which we found quite loud in the space
