Cramped with extremely small rooms.
Pros:

The location was fantastic.

Cons:

The rooms were extremely small. Just a bed and a bathroom and you had to crawl into the bed.

Great Location, Just Get the Right Room
Pros:

The location in the Latin Quarter is very convenient for enjoying the best of Galway. Staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The property is very clean and well maintained. We ended up with a room at the very front which was very loud in the late evening with the pubs right there. If your there for late night pubs (till 2am) no worries - if not ensure you get a room that is set back from the front if the building.

Compact but efficient space near everything.
Pros:

This was a great location and we really liked how close it was to everything. The staff were so kind to write to tell me that I had forgotten something in the room.

Cons:

Just know that there is no lift but the man at front desk was kind enough to carry our luggage for us.

Location is amazing, staff is helpful and rooms are snug as described.
Pros:

Staff was very helpful upon check in, offering a map of the area and pointing out several suggestions for food, sites, etc. Location was fantastic, we didn’t have a car and being in the pedestrian area was great! Room was as described.

Cons:

Didn’t love the mattress. Though we were fully aware of the size of the room, not having a place to sit aside from the bed wasn’t ideal for my husband. Though the sound didn’t affect me (I sleep with noise cancelling headphones) know that the great location comes with the noise, ear plugs were provided by the property.

Pros:

Great location for sight seeing around Galway- right in the middle of it all yet didn't hear any of the noise in our room.

Loved the Location and Hot shower!
Pros:

Lovely, tiny room, comfy SNUG hotel! The staff were friendly and helpful. Shower was hot and powerful and the bed was comfy too. Noisy in the Latin Quarter with the Quays pub right outside the window, but we loved the added touch of giving us ear plugs. Using the white noise app on Spotify was also a great help in blocking out the outside street noise. Parking was a 5 minute walk away for a discounted rate.

Cons:

Outside noise but NOT a deal breaker. If you are a light sleeper, It may be a difficult place to stay.

The most perfect location with tiny, cute rooms.
Pros:

Perfect location!! Super cute hotel!

Cons:

The tiniest hotel room ever imaginable, but I’d still prefer to stay here than anywhere else.
