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.

Great location
Pros:

The location is terrific the beds are comfortable and the check in is straightforward.

Cons:

We were in room 5 and the light coming in through the thin curtains from the street lights was way too bright. There is also a fair amount of noise from revellers in the street up till around 2 in the morning.
They really need to replace the curtains with much thicker heavier curtains. That will stop the light coming in and also help muffle the street noise.

Great location, quieter area than the Latin Quarter.
Cons:

It's Galway - noisy at night. Also early morning noise from street sweepers and delivery trucks.

Die Lage des Hotels hat unseren Erwartungen entsprochen.
Pros:

Wir hatten unsere Zimmer zuoberst im 3. Stock und hatten daher ein geringeres Lärmaufkommen.

Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal. La vue. La disponibilité du personnel à distance.

Cons:

Le rapport qualité prix. Plus de 200 euros par nuit pour un logement avec un lit minuscule pour deux personnes, plein de poussière en dessous du lit, le savon de la douche devrait être changé car je ne sais pas ce qu il contenait, heureusement j'avais prévu le coup au cas où.
Le confort du lit laisse à désirer. Je me suis réveillée chaque matin avec un mal de dos.
Le bruit constant dès que quelqu'un prend une douche. Ce n'est même pas le bruit extérieur le plus dérangeant mais le bruit intérieur dans l'immeuble, ma mère était réveillée chaque jour vers 6h du matin,... Une douche... Une chasse d'eau et bienvenue le bruit !
Ça ne vaut pas son prix !

To charge over 300 a night for that room is just wrong. There were no events going on and it was a terrible value
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Bed was not what was advertised. When I questioned the size they said it was an Irish King and it was 5 ft wide. I am 5ft and I was taller than the width. Outside the shower the wall was in need of repair so it felt dirty.

Pros:

El bar que tienen abajo que está integrado pero manteniendo privacidad. Los cuartos muy comodos. Recomiendo la experiencia que proveen de whisky

Cons:

puede molestar llevar las valijas unos pisos, pero nada grave. Lo único que si fue una molestia fue no poder dejar las valijas en recepción hasta hacer el check-in, sino que tuve que encontrar otro lugar en el pueblo donde dejarlas ya que no tenían un armario. Muy facilmente mejorable eso pero bueno.
