8/10 Very good

Room was fine and location perfect Food service in the bar was just ok

Cute and quirky hotel

What a cute and quirky hotel! Service was great and bar downstairs was fun. We were warned of noise from the bar downstairs however didn't hear a thing! Hotel even had song lyrics on the ceilings of the rooms- very fun!
Lizanne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for young people going out

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.

Loved our stay!

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.

Best Location and better Customer Service!

The location can't be beat. It is literally on Eyre Square in the heart of Galway, right next to 10 Euro a day carpark and 2 minute walk from the Train station. The breakfast was huge and tasty. I will definitely return. The part that stood out was the customer service! From reception to the dining room to the cleaning staff everyone was so nice and went above and beyond the usual. They didn't just help. They took the time to chat and offer advice. It was so welcoming. WELL DONE TO ALL!

Quiet comfortable accommodation in downtown Galway

Despite being in a busy section of Galway, the room was very quiet due to the double “city” windows. The room was large, the bed comfortable, the dining area luxurious and the staff very friendly.
