    The hotel didn’t provide any facilities, it was just a room, which was quite small, and basic

    The Hotel was in a great location with easy access to the main part of the city

    Shower water stream was weak and took 2 minutes to get hot water. Parking per night was 16 Euro. The music from the next door pub was heard until 2 AM (not very loud)

    The hotel is in a very good location, on a street of pubs and restaurants, with not traffic. The room is very nice. Parking is right next to the hotel. The night reception person and the morning reception person - both nice and practical

    As the information explains the music from the neighboring bar below runs until about 2 am on the Friday, Saturday, and the eves of bank holidays.

    The location of this property is perfect. You are right in the action of Galway with fun bars, restaurants, and shops a few steps away.

    Location was not only beautiful it was unbeatable, right at the start of the most heart of Galway. Shared a wall with a pub with trad music, coffee shop a few doors down- everywhere you turned there was iconic historic attractions just outside the door. The rooms are large and lush, as are the bathrooms. The bed was big and comfortable with floor to ceiling windows. We loved our time here, and the staff was warm, accommodating and friendly!

    I have done my fair share of travelling & this was by far my favourite hotel! The room was stunning! The bed was extremely comfortable! I loved all the lighting and the tv. The bathroom was also gorgeous with a bath included. The location is extremely central and you get can everywhere by foot. Would definitely recommend and stay again. The lady at reception was also extremely friendly!

    Even though there was secondary glazing you could still hear the noise from the pubs and the streets. Ok if you use earplugs.

    Great location as right in the heart of the Latin Quarter

    Rooms are above a lively bar in a great neighbourhood in the heart of Galway - if that's not your thing, find alternative accommodation. Parking was a bit tricky but, one we figured it out, really convenient.

    Rooms were comfortable and clean. Temperature was too hot and climate control in the rooms did not work very well. Staff were great.

    There was a group of 3 of us down for a weekend, the location is right in the middle of the main streets, car park is a minute walk beside the hotel. We were a front facing room onto the street, was still very comfortable and not too noisy. The staff were really friendly and couldn't do more for us! We will be back :)

    Minor: but there isn't a mini fridge (which doesn't seem common in the area) - so it's hard to keep leftovers or personal beverages cold. Also, maybe not ideal for light sleepers but we didn't notice any issues.

    Excellent location for those who love music and lively streets. It sits on top of an amazing, historical pub with great musicians. The artwork and style of the room were creative and had a hint of luxery without compromising comfort.
