10/10 Excellent

Beautifully appointed room close to restaurants and bars. Very clean and very comfortable. Would highly recommend it as the place to stay. Wish we stayed longer.
Joanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quick self check in. Walkable area.
Denice, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We absolutely loved this property - so convenient to everything in Galway - easy walk to Latin Quarter and Shop Street, Eyre Square and the West End! Only wish there was a small mini-fridge - otherwise a perfect room, beautifully decorated and a fantastic shower with the best water pressure in Ireland!!
The museum - definitely worth a visit
The museum with the Spanish arch to the right
West end - across the street from Galway Bay Tattoo
Fantastic place for organic soaps etc.
Heather, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Fantastic little restaurant right next door. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A fully self-service hotel.
Stan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location in the heart of Glway
Kathryn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The location was great and the room was nice. There is no staff on site, so we weren’t able to get help when the wifi was down for the duration of our stay.
Kate, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Located near major car park
Parminder, 1-night trip

Loved it modern and clean !
RUSSELL, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s a basic kind of place that will meet your needs but provide few amenities beyond that.
Lauren, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Room is spacious, modern, and well-designed. We never saw another person in the hotel, staff or guest, which was eerie. But virtual check-in and checkout was smooth, thanks to the clear instructions provided
Phyllis, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very noisy at night even with windows closed and ear plugs couldn't sleep at all
Eduardo, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Liam was very helpful. He answered all of our questions quickly. The room was clean and very nice. Walking distance to lots of things!
Leslie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We had major water problems that ranged from no water at all to super hot water. Called for service. They came, but were not able to correct the problem. We left the next day. No good showers for us.
M, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The rooms were fine. What I didn’t like is that there was no staff on sight . Only a telephone number to call
Meg, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good location, the thermostat was broken and the temperature was very high while we were trying to sleep.
Katherine, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We had booked two separate nights over a weekend in early July. The keyless access is terrible. The guesthouse did not send the correct date's confirmation code and we could not access. I emailed and it took them 3 hours to get back to us. They refused to refund the nights' accommodation though I had to book another hotel and was very lucky to get a room at the last minute. I'm all for efficiency but not when you cannot address an issue and nobody answers the emergency number!!!
Kathryn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

No AC on hot days!
Garry, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The housekeeper and manager were really nice. We were delighted with our stay. I recommend this hotel.
Camille, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The electronic check/in and no staff on hand was off-putting. The shower was difficult to control water temperature. Overall a nice place to stay
Kelly-Lynn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The stay was okay. We were clear that this was a basic hotel stay, but they really mean, basic. The kitchenette is only a kettle and coffee machine with a limited amount of coffee/tea/milk. The building and room were clean with a few minor areas that were dirtier than the norm (beside the toilet, the side table had chips out of the material etc…). There are a few hangers for clothing, no knobs or hooks in the bathroom though. The area is relatively quiet until the middle of the night when the parties are returning home from the pubs. To be expected anywhere! But it felt dingy and dirty and unsafe. We would not have gone out at night to have to return there. It was about a six to eight minute walk to the square or bus/train and other happening areas.
Keri, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The property smelled like such a strong floral perfume I had a headache as soon as we walked into the room.
Macy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the easy check-in! Accommodations were clean & comfortable. The decor of the place was modern and cool. Location could not be better. Within walking distance of many pubs, restaurants and sights. Only downside was lack of parking. Had to park across the bridge at the church parking lot and carry our bags a bit of a distance. But I know that’s a challenge in Galway. Everything else was great!
Kerri Lynn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was extremely hot in the room. There was on air conditioning just a portable fan. And the window only opens an inch. Way too hot to sleep in there. Thin walls too.
Courtney, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Air conditioner was not install, just a portable unit that didn’t vent to the outside. Shower temperature control was very difficult to operate. Most guest would assume it was broken. Also, street facing side was very loud. Earplugs were in the room whe. We arrived.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Easy check in and helpful staff
