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.

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.

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!

An ideal location for a social weekend in Galway. Everything is within walking distance & you are amongst the hustle & bustle, looking out over The Quays Bar, yet the room itself was not noisy (very good windows). The room was lovely and clean & the staff were very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

The duplex was absolutely perfect for my son and I! We enjoyed our own space in the convenience of one booking. Each floor was more spacious than previous reviews indicated…but then again we don’t bring huge suitcases when we travel. There are cubbies under the beds to tuck away baggage, and the top floor was fairly spacious, as you can see in the picture. My son took the middle floor, and it was a bit smaller, but still sufficient. They do street sweeping or keg wrangling very early, so take advantage of the provided earplugs if you’re easily roused. The location is right in the heart of town, and was an easy (maybe 10 minute?) walk from the coach station if you’re coming from another west coast town (we traveled from Donegal town). Highly recommend, and I would gladly book this location for a future visit!

Found this place on Instagram and it turned out to be the best hotel I could’ve picked. It was in the perfect location, so many things all around it, so close to the Christmas festival in the train station. Really enjoyed staying the night here. 10/10 recommend for solo travelers.
