All the staff where unbelievably helpful and welcoming. The location is superb, and as we were staying there with a 1 year old, everything was so close by. Tad noisy yes, but we knew it would be, and they put us on the third floor, so it was grand. Staff couldn't have been kinder to us and our son, so we'll definitely be back

A good place to stay while in Galway. A quick walk to everywhere. However, because it is in the Latin quarter be ready for it to be loud at night.
