My stay at the Lane felt so indulgent. The bed was so comfortable, and I loved the little details like the pretty coffee cups snd the giant towels. The staff were very helpful snd went out of their way to accommodate me needs. The location could not be better. I would stay at the Lane again in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed the small boutique hotel tucked down a little lane. It was very quiet yet convenient to walk to Eyre Sqaure and the Latin Qtr, High Street, Quay Street and everything you want from Galway. We upgraded to the King Deluxe room and it was spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom, hair dryer, modern (usb) power. All was perfect for our 1 night in Galway.

Quaint hotel in a great location

Quaint renovated hotel nicely located in the center of Galway. Street parking only, which was relatively easy to find and free overnight from 6pm to 8am. Friendly and helpful checkin staff. Walkable to all the top attractions and main drag. Lots of good restaurants nearby
