This is a very nice, small property. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We found it very walkable to see the restaurants and shopping. The self check in was easy enough.

Hotel is located in a perfect location for Galway! It is a few blocks away from the strip of bars so you aren't hearing too much loud noise at night. There is a car park right across the street from the hotel which is great. Checking in was super easy and convenient. At night there is a security guard to make sure no strangers come into the building which made us feel safe. Only complaint was rooms were a little small for 2 people and their bags. It was fine for us for 2 nights.

The room was great with several upgraded amenities - the weighted throw, the Shark fan, the lit mirror, etc. the room was larger than we expected and the location was excellent. Check in was super easy at the kiosk. We would love to stay here again.
