A great little micro hotel in the heart of the pub scene in Galway City. Everything was very clean. There were few amenities but for the price of the room and the location we were happy. It does get noisy in the night due to the location, but we packed ear plugs so we did not mind.

The room was snug as the hotel name suggests but very cosy, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for an overnight business stay. The reception staff were amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area with what to see and do, the price was also right and we will stay again as we felt it was in the heart of the action in Galway city, excellent!

Perfect location. Room was right in the central zone with shops and bars and restaurants everywhere. The room was super clean. Bed was just perfect. Had everything you can imagine on tv from Netflix,Prime tv..Only bad thing was that it had no window and it took me a while to get used to it. Felt Icouldn't breath.Staff was super helpful. Would definitely book again
