Great location
Location amazing.
It is loud as the bar is open until 2am across the street but the leave ear plugs in the room for you.
Easy to walk to from the bus station.
We had the family room so lots of space, the other rooms may be very snug.

Great hotel with an amazing location!
This place was amazing! I was a little bit skeptical because of the name, but the location is literally in the heart of Galway, everything is walkable and despite its name the room was excellent and very well laid out.

Lovely staff and property, would definitely stay here again! Loved how it was right amongst the hustle bustle of the town, but also cozy and quiet within the walls.

Think carefully
The front rooms are unbelievably noisy, so insist on a room away from the street. The rooms are small. The place is clean and well located. This is a place with no lobby, no elevator and no extras. It was not inexpensive.

If you love being close to everything book here!
We had a wonderful experience at Snug. Perfect location, directly across from the Quays bar and restaurant, right in the Latin quarter and a fun environment. Our room was pretty quiet but I always use ear plugs. The man at the reception was so friendly and helpful. Great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Comfortable stay
Very comfortable. Spotlessly clean. A bit of a musty smell in the room. The bed was very comfortable (I appreciated all the pillows!), but would be difficult to get in and out of for anyone with mobility issues. You climb in at the very foot of the bed. There was some noise from the pub below when they had music playing, but not enough to keep me from sleeping (even without the earplugs The Snug provides).

Comfy and close in town
Our original room was not accessible for us, and the management happily changed rooms for us. Comfy and clean.

I was not expecting the room to be quite so small but everything was very clean , modern and wonderfully located in the heart of everything. Don’t plan to spend any time in the room but a great place to lay you head.

Wonderful modern and efficient design of room. Attentive staff. Lively neighborhood made for a noisy night, which was a problem only because we were leaving on a ferry early the next morning. Otherwise it was an enjoyable area
