Very nice hotel but a little noisy at night

The room was very nice and clean. It was in a great location to many of the tourist sites. Room was noisy at night even with the windows closed. I had to use the ear plugs you supplied on the desk. Elevator was out of service the last 2 days of our stay.

Great location to walk around Galway

This was perfect for our 2-night stay in Galway! Instructions were clear and we had no problems with the self-check-in kiosk; room was clean and well prepared for our visit. We chose a double bed plus twin bed room to have extra space (and in case one of us had a hard time sleeping after our long travels). We appreciated being within walking distance of the Latin Quarter, Spanish Arch, and Galway Cathedral. We always found parking in the city lot across the street. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, nice decor

Nice, basic hotel that is close to everything. For my taste, the bed and pillow were too hard and sleep was not uncomfortable. The room is nicely decorated, but there is very limited space for anything. The bathroom has no shelf and just a small sink- so nowhere to put basic toiletries.The room had a strong sewer odor upon check-in. I called their emergency line and they were very responsive. My bigger concern is that they charge hotel rates, but offer no service. The facility is completely unstaffed. When there is a concern, there is no one to call, except their emergency line. We stayed three nights, and the ceramic coffee cups and drinking glasses were never changed. There is no mechanism to clean them, so they were most unpleasant by the third day. I didn’t feel it was worthy of a phone call to the “emergency“ line. Next time, for the same cost, I will stay at a hotel with service or a less expensive AirBnB.

A different experience with no staff on property. Rooms were spotless, walkable to the bar/restaurant area. It was good for what we needed. Rooms are small.

Look good in the pictures

Room has strong smell like dirty gym Sock, or dirty mop water. Shower doesn’t drain water. Impossible to shower mover than 2-3 minutes before it overflows. Took about 1/2 hour for the water to disappear. Bed was nice. Other than the awful smell. The room looked nice. Left windows open with fan. It incredibly load at night with the windows open. They leave 2 packages of air plugs in the room.

The room was very hot and had a window air conditioner that didn’t work/was missing pieces. The shower was scalding hot and we couldn’t adjust the temperature. The room itself was as described. The area was quiet, safe, and walkable. There was a convenient parking lot across the street but the city meter did not work.

Would give 0 stars if I could

With the walls being so thin, we could hear every door slam open and closed, all night long, every 5-10 minutes.This slamming was loud enough for it to make our door and walls shake consistently. No front desk service meant that a rowdy person started screaming and yelling around 23:00, and the police had to come drag him out shrieking almost an hour later. It was very hot, and while the hotel did provide two fans for use, only one worked. We could not open the window due to the screaming happening on the streets. Between the near constant door slamming and the late night disturbance and consequent arrest, we did not sleep.
