Sehr zentral und entsprechend weniger ruhig
Pros:

Das kleine Stadthotel ist in mitten der "Partymile" von Galway. Es ist modern eingerichtet. Die Abwicklung war gut. Parkplätze findet man ein paar Strassen weiter in einem Parkhaus. Für das Frühstück gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten in der näheren Umgebung.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer hatte kein Fenster und trotzdem hörte man den Lärm der vielen Strassenbesucher von aussen. Es wird kein Frühstück angeboten.

Busy party area of town.
Pros:

It was clean and spacious.

Cons:

The location was too noisy and there was too much light with no black out curtains and the exit signs. Also not ideal for someone who will struggle carrying a suitcase upstairs. We recommend removing the exit sign on the second floor and adding black out curtains. The mattress was also uncomfortable as I could feel the springs.

Lovely place that's right in the middle of everything! Cozy and snug, as the name suggests.
Pros:

They call it snug and they mean it! We stayed in an adorable little room where the bed took up more space than the entryway, and it was so comfortable. It was our little bird nest for the weekend. We were able to plug our Nintendo Switch into the TV, and the window overlooked the Quays pub with the Galway Girl statue. The pub is quite lively and loud at night, but the room provides complementary earplugs. Would definitely stay again!

Cons:

Definitely bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The Quays pub right across the street gets very loud at night, especially on the weekends. The hotel provides ear plugs, just be prepared for the hubbub and the noise.

Good Location but Tiny Rooms
Pros:

The location was right in the heart of Galway with lots of shops and restaurants/pubs all around it.

Cons:

There is no parking at the hotel and the parking garages were a VERY tight squeeze. The rooms are tiny and many don't even have a window. I booked a family room for my husband, my daughter, and myself and didn't expect a queen bed with a single bunkbed over top of me.

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.
