Stayed here while at the Galway races. Excellent location close to the bus station and a short walk from Eyre Square, the bars and restaurants. Stayed in a duo studio. It had 2 separate bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchenette. Will definitely stay here again.

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.

City Hideaway is was close to shopping and restaurants. The staff was friendly and very helpful. My only issue was the street and pedestrian noise. Our room faced the entrance to the building. This was out of their control. What they were able to control, was done efficiently.

This is student accommodation, the room was tiny and basic so felt very overpriced at £200 per night! The bathroom was small but okay with a decent shower. Good location to walk into the centre of Galway. The staff were friendly. Would have given a better rating if it wasn’t so overpriced, we were expecting a bit more for £200!

Great location. Rooms small in size and extremely warm with a plug in fan circulating hot air. I understand weather is warmer than usual but it was close to unbearable trying to sleep at night. Beds aren’t very comfortable. Expensive for what it is.
