Everything about this property was absolutely perfect apart from the disturbance when the cleaners are cleaning, it sounds like the building was about to come down. If you’re wanting a sleep in, in the morning or an afternoon nap, forget it!

Great place to stay!

The Snug Townhouse is a fantastic place to stay. The location is perfect! The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and well appointed. Check in was very easy and the receptionist was helpful and offered local knowledge. The was easy and reasonably priced parking near by which we were recommended by the team at The Snug.

Amazing location, easy to get to, parking works great, beds super comfy, and even though it’s super close to the bars, we found it actually found it shockingly quiet!!! Loved it. Wished we stayed longer.

spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately right across the street from 2 popular bars. Once the partying stopped the bottle recycling started and then taking the empty kegs out and new ones in. Not a restful sleep. I guess that’s why there were earplugs in the room

Parking is not so bad. We paid to park at a nearby parking lot, I think for each night it was like 12 dollars. The Snug Townhouse is right in the middle of action. You're in a nice part of Galway, and everything is right there for you to access. The staff was great, check in was very fast and easy. The rooms were delightful and the water pressure first class. So, yeah, if you're okay parking a few minutes away, I say the benefits of the property's location is worth it.

Thankyou

Hello unfortunately we couldn’t go on our trip to Galway as we had the biggest storm ever in Ireland/Galway and the rail service to Galway was Cancelled. I did contact the hotel to advise and they understood it wasn’t possible for us to travel by train I also advised that I had no other way to travel I’m would if I could have a refund. As this was the biggest storm ever in Ireland. Thankyou Gary

The Snug House is a great jumping off point for exploring Galway as its very conveniently located. The staff was exceptionally friendly and kind and made all the difference at the end of a long travel day when my room was ready early! The rooms are not large, really just a place to sleep at night, but have thoughtful design choices to accommodate luggage storage. The bathroom was great and the rain shower head was a welcome addition on a chilly day. Only downside is that sound carries quite well, you can hear/feel when doors close on your floor and others. Noisy neighbors made for an unpleasant second night. Overall would recommend!
