Very central and has all the mod cons you need for a short stay.
Mark, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Rooms was smaller than description. Good location. But too small of a room. No room for two people to pass each other in room

8/10 Very good

Great place for a night or two. Water pressure was not great.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is unique as it is right on the main street of the Latin Quarter. Restaurants and pubs are steps from the door. The hotel staff are amazing- kind and thoughtful, ready to help as needed 24/7. They treated our group as treasured family. We love this hotel.
Kristina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Food was great. The only complaint would be no ac in hotel and it’s very loud being above the bars/restaurants. Bring your own shower cap, bar soap, shampoo/condition. Would stay again just in a back room not street side.
Yolanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a great time , staff was great , friendly, and very helpful Hotel was clean and beautiful
Mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Conveniently located. Close to restaurants, pubs and shopping. Average room. After parking in the incredibly small Spanish arch car park, we opted to park several blocks away in a larger car park.

Our stay here was dantastic. The location was oerfect for sightseeing, food, and nightlife. It is loud at night due to the nightlife in the area, but we expected that.

MATTHEW R, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazing location with parking

Hotel was a bit hard to find but once inside it had a fun, funky vibe. The room was clean but incredibly small and the toilet was not working properly. Parking is right next store and there is shopping and restaurants as soon as you walk out the door.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was great! There's a restaurant/bar with live music downstairs, and it's right by a plethora of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful.
William, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What an amazing place with fun decor. Thanks to Erin for our very warm welcome and suggestions for food and entertainment. An really enjoyable hotel close to all the action in Galway

8/10 Very good

Small rooms in the latin quarter. Very convenient parking.
Michelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

You are right in the middle of a lot of action at this hotel! Made it so easy to explore. Parking is at the garage a few buildings down, but it was easy. Highly recommend!!
Abigail, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A bit noisy with the pub downstairs. Better to request a room in the higher floors.
Kathy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location, friendly staff, spotless rooms, super clean. Noisy street all night through, we barely slept but nothing hotel would have a control over

debra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

If you're a party person this hotel is for you ;)

The size of the rooms was decent, loved the in room coffee pot and you can't be at the location BUT the pub below was BLASTING music well past 2am and even with 2 sound machines and closed windows no sleep was to be had. Staff were polite but not friendly and with no breakfast service available we'll make a different choice on our next visit to Galway.
Dorothy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is located on Quay Street which has a lot of shops and restaurants with live music. Our room was interesting as we had 3 people (my daughter, my husband, and myself). If you have 3 people your room has 3 twin beds. One for each person. The bathroom was nice. They provided 2 fans which was nice. The staff were nice. We did have an issue getting back into the hotel one night. We had dinner late and got back to the hotel around 11pm and the front door was locked. We rang the doorbell multiple times and knocked. Eventually a staff member opened the door and apologized for the delay.
