Great location and comfy for one night.
Pros:

Right on key street where all the action and restaurants are… given we were at the back of the hotel in a small cube like room with shower, NO window, it avoided any noise from the street Nd music goers…

Cons:

No window but as it was for
One night and you don’t expect to stay in your room unless I’ll, it was fine.

Pros:

Location couldn’t be beat, and there was no sound bleed into the room (except for seagulls)

Cons:

They’re not lying when they say “snug.” It was good for a couple to share for a few nights, but we would have struggled being there longer.

Pros:

Struttura in pieno centro di Galway. Accettabile il rumore dalla strada affollatissima, meno quello dall’impianto di condizionamento (o di aspirazione) di un locale adiacente .

Cons:

Rumore e il bagno con doccia completamente aperta. Si bagna dappertutto.

Comfortable stay in downtown!
Pros:

Central location with great staff and comfortable rooms! We appreciated the team’s 24/7 attentiveness and being able to use baggage storage. The air conditioning was a plus.

Cons:

There is no elevator, so be prepared for possibly climbing several flights of stairs. The air conditioning was dripping water and would occasionally make a loud buzz before resuming.

Very nice staff …. But in the center of busy bar action .
Pros:

The staff was very accommodating and very friendly . Bath was well appointed and a good shower . Bed was comfortable. Location great for theater and restaurants etc…. If that’s why you are there .

Cons:

If you are there to party it’s ideal . It’s in the heart of the bar restaurant area so the noise ,if on the street side , can be distracting. Earplugs were supplied which helps . Snug is the right name … for one person it was fine … for two it might be cramped . But that was just my room . Not sure about others . Otherwise it’s a nice basic hotel but I felt a bit expensive for what it was .
