We really enjoyed our stay at The Snug Townhouse. The room was definitely snug, but it was comfortable and surprisingly quiet considering the fantastic location right in the middle of Quay Street. We loved being able to step outside and immediately be in the heart of Galway, with restaurants, pubs, shops, and the waterfront all within easy walking distance. The location really couldn’t be more convenient for exploring the city. A great choice if you want to stay right in the center of everything!

Clean and in the heart of Latin quarter/center of Galway. Good experience other than the property is quite noisy as it is facing multiple bars that are quite lively and don’t close down until 2am.

It’s right in the middle of the action on Quay Street. Earplugs are provided. But a $15 white noise machine blocked out all the noise. The front desk staff is the most helpful I’ve ever encountered.

This place is in a great location with lots to do around you. The room had everything we needed and the shower had great water pressure. We didn't hear the noise from the street at all. The receptionist was very friendly and check-in and check-out was a breeze.

Loved the price, cleanliness, and comfort for the small room for a one night stay to enjoy Galway. Being a step away from Quay street but hearing none of it until leaving the building made the trip a delight to wander and explore.

Conveniently located. Helpful staff. Rooms were clean. Snug is the best description of the room size. It had everything I needed. It was loud at night, but that is the atmosphere of the area. I loved it day and night. If you don’t like the noise, pick another part of the city to stay.

Well, they weren’t lying about things being ‘snug’. They were completely honest and upfront about how small the room was, and we knew that it would be tight, and we were willing to do that for the convenience of being right in the middle of the action, but it turns out that I may be just a bit too old to attempt a pretzel climb over my husband in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and not having anywhere to sit other than a two-foot bit near the foot of the bed is a bit rough. Again, not their fault, and the place itself is clean, secure, and well located.
