I loved the place. It was a great location right in the heart of the Latin quarter. However, others in our group found the the space to be a bit too snug.

So pleasantly surprised by this stay! The rooms are nicely equipped and smart - lots of storage and hooks and useful amenities. It is across from a very lively nightspot/bar but they give you ear plugs. The bed was very hard so the sleep wasn't the greatest, but the location and well-appointed room make up for it.

The room was very small only two coat hangers, and a lot of moths it was good to have air con, but a very small room meant it was awkward for two people, the bathroom & shower were good and the location was in the centre of Galway which was good too.

Very cozy and comfy little room with a nice skylight to wake up with natural light to. Smack-dab in the middle of the tourist area which had major pros, since it was a short walk to everything we wanted to try and a short walk from the bus and train station. Room was well-insulated from the noise and music of the area. Would recommend for any tourists!

The location was great and the staff were lovely--however the room was very small and had to crawl into the bed which made it tough and won't suit people who have mobility issues in terms of getting in and out of the bed. Other than that-given the location I expected to hear noise but it was quiet. I would stay there again .
