It was exactly what I was looking for, right in the heart of the town and close to everything. Even though the city was lively, my room was very quiet thanks to excellent soundproofing. The front desk staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful with my requests.

Clean room, great staff, centrally located. Do not book a room overlooking the main street or you will have a difficult time sleeping. Chose one further back into the building.

Excellent property in a fantastic location. They provided slippers and earplugs which were an unexpected perk for the location. I slept very well here. Great feel for the city. Walkable to many restaurants and pubs as well as local attractions. Bonus points for a great shower!

Nice room and the staff was wonderful. Location was not fantastic as our room is right over a pub that played loud music very late into the morning, not the hotel’s fault, but if I had realized how loud the location of our room would be, I probably would’ve opted to stay elsewhere. Overall, minus sleep, it was a great spot.

The room itself was very small. However that said, my bed was nice and big and comfy and there was a nice skylight right above which nicely induced smooth and natural sleep rhythms. Bathroom was neat and clean and had enough space to maneuver. The location literally could not be any better! Right across the street from Galway’s most famous pub! Moreover Quay St. is packed full of awesome pubs and restaurants.

A great little micro hotel in the heart of the pub scene in Galway City. Everything was very clean. There were few amenities but for the price of the room and the location we were happy. It does get noisy in the night due to the location, but we packed ear plugs so we did not mind.

We spent 4 days here, yes it’s tiny, but the location and staff make it worth it. When you step out of the hotel you are in the heart of Galway. This was amazing for my friend and I. Everything was super clean and the staff was so kind. They gave us dinner recommendations and ways to spend our days. There aren’t any elevators as a fair warning, and if you plan on having more than 1 or 2 suitcases get a bigger room. We had the smallest one.

The room was snug as the hotel name suggests but very cosy, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for an overnight business stay. The reception staff were amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area with what to see and do, the price was also right and we will stay again as we felt it was in the heart of the action in Galway city, excellent!

Had everything you can imagine on tv from Netflix,Prime tv..Only bad thing was that it had no window and it took me a while to get used to it. Felt Icouldn't breath.Staff was super helpful. Would definitely book again
