A good, central place for Galway, easy to get to from the bus and train stations. Everything was fine but the room was quite small especially the bathroom.

We had a great stay. The twin room was a small apartment with two bedrooms leading off a little kitchen/diner. This was great as we had expected one room with twin beds. It was very comfortable. The discounted parking right across the road was a bonus and it was two minutes walk into the centre.

Very clean, up to date, private room with private bath and QUIET! The location couldn’t have been more convenient - 50 meters from the bus station. Highly recommend for solo travelers. <100 Euros/night is great deal and better than a hostel.

This is a great place if you don’t mind the dorm like feel. They don’t have a restaurant but it’s close to restaurants and convenience stores and all the tourist attractions in Galway. Also close to the train and bus stations.

Very basic room, good to spend the night on a business trip, too bad I could not sleep well for all the cars noises from the street below. It’s way too expensive for what it offers.

Excellent location right next to the bus station and 2 minutes from train station. Area felt safe and easy and short walk to main part of town. Room spacious enough with plenty of room for storage. Bathroom large and updated. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that having a TV in the room would have been nice.

The hotel is in a great location. Minutes from the bus station, minutes to the square a few more minutes to the Latin Quarter and all kinds of great shops. The rooms are nice but a comfortable chair would have made them great. The shared amenities are great. They have a book exchange so bring an extra book to leave behind if you’re able to.

Were given a key card to an occupied room. Staff was very helpful in finding us room, but it took some time. The room was not clean by any means. Weird substance on the couch - so we did not use it. This is a student residence converted to a hotel, and feels that way.

Interesting place to stay. Felt young again being in student housing. Very comfortable common area to sit downstairs. Perfect for singles. In the unit my cousin and I had, the doors to the bedrooms were fire doors so automatically closed and locked. (I did end up, locking myself out.)

The pros: location and the staff were excellent. Cons: The water pressure in the shower so low I can’t even come up with a g-rated description that captures it. I really don’t know how they kept it so low - while still having something come out. And what came out was cold. There was not hot water at all. The good news - it was the hottest day in Galway and the room was as hot as outside (no a/c) but thankfully - I could sit in front of the provided fan after my freezing dribbley shower and cool off.

This was a hostel type “hotel” with no daily room cleaning. Rooms are smaller than pictured. Floor very dirty and shower was small with light water pressure and mildew. Location is great and they provide a fan for warm nights. Our room was quiet, faced away from main road. Staff helpful with extra towels and pillows
