R United States of America

A great location in the heart of temple bar and very convenient. There is plenty of transportation nearby. Clean room and bathroom as well. The staff is nice

Nadia France

Great location. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice rooms, got an amazing view of the river.

Yael Israel

Room was big and comfortable, everything seemed clean. The kitchen was good, had everything you need for cooking including things like oil and salt, and the free coffee, tea and hot chocolate were nice. Location was perfect, right in the center and close to all the bus stations. I literally walked one minute to get to the bus to Galway.

Yael Israel

Location is excellent- right next to everywhere you’d want to be or go to. Bus stops also right in front. Staff was very friendly and the beds were clean. It’s a good place for the money and I wouldn’t mind staying again. It offered what I needed and had a decent vibe.
