Property was clean and very close to the main shopping areas and pubs. However, it is in a very loud area. I do not recommend it for people who have a hard time falling asleep to noise or are easily woken up.

It was extremely hot in the room. There was on air conditioning just a portable fan. And the window only opens an inch. Way too hot to sleep in there. Thin walls too.

Loved the easy check-in! Accommodations were clean & comfortable. The decor of the place was modern and cool. Location could not be better. Within walking distance of many pubs, restaurants and sights. Only downside was lack of parking. Had to park across the bridge at the church parking lot and carry our bags a bit of a distance. But I know that’s a challenge in Galway. Everything else was great!

Air conditioner was not install, just a portable unit that didn’t vent to the outside. Shower temperature control was very difficult to operate. Most guest would assume it was broken. Also, street facing side was very loud. Earplugs were in the room whe. We arrived.

Great value

Great location and quality of accommodation. Self check in was super quick and easy too. Only issue we found was our window faced onto the bins area, so was noisy and a bit of a smell when we left the window open, plus no view of course. Great price though, would stay again

Great little place! Only complaints are it was hard to sleep because the mattress was hard, and the towels left fuzz all over us when we dried off from taking a shower.

Highly recommend!

Very happy with our stay in Abbeygate Townhouse. The rooms were spotless and fresh. In an excellent location we were only a 5-7 min walk from eyre square. Although this hotel is self check in it is very easy to carry out and when there was a problem with the key card machine there was a lovely man there within 10 minutes who helped us and was very friendly and professional. The beds were like a cloud of air to sleep in. All together a wonderful stay and I would 100% recommend to others. We will definitely be back.

The self checkin process was terrible. They sent me two different door codes to get inside. Then the computer wouldn't take my Expedia itinerary number to check me in. I tired my number and name multiple times and it finally went through. The desk troubleshooting number on the wall next to the self check in no one answered. The walls are so thin I could hear the neighbors drinking their coffee. Safe and convenient but check in and privacy could use work.

Served its purpose for a quick overnight stay. Check-in was a little frustrating as we arrived early and there was no staff on-site to hold our bags- would have been helpful as international travellers with suitcases. We received a code to enter the building and it was incorrect. We had to rely on other guests randomly entering/exiting until we received the correct code hours later. Our room had a bizarre odour that was ?fishy. Around 11pm guests in the surrounding rooms could be heard yelling through the walls. Like I said, it was just okay.

Location was fabulous. The rooms were clean and relatively spacious. We had trouble locating the parking lot affiliated with this property, but eventually figured it out. We also had trouble with the entry process. Both could be better laid out for newcomers. Overall though our experience was good.

Loved Galway!

The location was fantastic, close to all of the shopping, eating and sightseeing, but also close enough to walk to the grocery store. The room is VERY tight quarters so being able to getting clothes in & out of suitcases/getting ready to go out or get into bed was a little rough.
