Fun place to stay with excellent location, convenient walk to lots of attractions. Bathroom was like new. Would have been nicer if we could open the windows.

Lovely hotel and staff were wonderful. There was live music that was loud though, and we were hoping for good sleep. Maybe we should have known that Galway city centre is lively. We had never been there before.

Property location is PERFECT! In the heart of Eyre Square and all the pubs, restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The Skeff Pub was awsome for any time of the day. Also visited the adjacent coffee shop NERO quite often for early morning and afternoon coffee. Great little spot!

The place was great. It’s definitely worth a younger crowd who doesn’t mind a lot of music because the place is bumping at night, but it was so cute. The decor was cute. The people were amazing there. I had a great time my mom not so much lol

Adjacent to Eyre square. Room had aircon, plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. A little difficult to find if you are driving. Traffic in the area is atrocious. You can just hear the bass from the pub band so, not too good if you are a light sleeper. Reception was great and showed me on Google maps how to get to the validated parking. Enjoyed my stay there.

Staff was excellent! Loved the music. The ONLY thing was the bed. WORST MATTRESS on our entire trip. It was hard and thin.

A great hotel for young people partying in Galway, for families doing tours or exploring probably better to go somewhere else. The attached pub downstairs has music until 2am Thurs-Sat, 12am Sun-Wed. Staff is very friendly, but the description should make that clear so people know.

Staff are amazing and our room was quiet despite a lot going on in the pub downstairs. I appreciated the parking validation too. Cut the price of parking more than in half!

We loved it! All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We felt immediately welcome. The room was basic but all we needed. Breakfasts were delicious and varied enough to have something different each day. The hotel provide earplugs because of the noise of the bar downstairs but we found the room quiet and slept easily. The proximity to nightlife and sightseeing made it a perfect walkable location.
