Great place in the heart of Galway. Be mindful that this place is on top of a pub. So the music can be heard in the rooms till 2AM. But they do provide earplugs, which is nice. Great location does come at a cost.

A good hotel in a lively location

We had a good experience when we stayed for 5 nights in late July 2025. The location is superb, right in the centre of Galway's vibrant Latin Quarter. Our room was somewhat small, but clean and modern. Adequate for our needs and good value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, if you're considering a stay at the Snug Townhouse I'd like to make you aware of a couple of things; First, this hotel is in a lively, noisy location. Pubs adjacent to and opposite the hotel are busy until the early hours of the morning, so is the street outside. Our room was on the first floor facing Quay Street. The noise didn't bother us, but may well keep more sensitive guests awake at night. Secondly, the Spanish Arch carpark is very convenient. A short walk from the hotel and always has spaces (best value for us was a weekly ticket for 50 euros). But it is narrow and tight. I'd recommend you only enter if you have a small to average sized vehicle. Those with medium+ size cars were struggling to manoeuvre and squeeze into the small parking spaces.

Dont stay here if you want a quiet night. The ear plugs should have been the first clue. Close to many bars and restaurants which is nice and the room was spacious enough. The noise was too much though. Parking was very close but a very tight squeeze to get up the ramps.

Snug is the key word! Our room was very snug! But we were right in the heart of Galway. Despite staying in such a central area, our room was very quiet.

This townhouse is in a perfect location, right in the middle of eyre square. It can be a little noisey but that’s to be expected considering its locations. The room also has air con which is great because opening the window can lead to more noise. Great area location to stay in if you plan on hitting the bars! 10/10

Great room and location! We had room #9, right across from the Quay, and could hear the music and people each night. We managed with earplugs, but if you are a light sleeper, make sure you get another room. We needed a bigger space to relax in, so it was perfect for us. You step right out and you are in the best part of the downtown! Staff were also great. Thanks so much!

If you love being close to everything book here!

We had a wonderful experience at Snug. Perfect location, directly across from the Quays bar and restaurant, right in the Latin quarter and a fun environment. Our room was pretty quiet but I always use ear plugs. The man at the reception was so friendly and helpful. Great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

I wasn’t aware that this was a micro-hotel when I booked the room. It is VERY small. My partner and I couldn’t even find floor space to open our bags. I ended up keeping mine on the windowsill in the bed nook area. The hotel is clean and the staff were friendly enough. The area is very fun, but much louder than anticipated. Parking was also a bit

Comfy and close in town

Our original room was not accessible for us, and the management happily changed rooms for us. Comfy and clean.

Do NOT stay here if you want to sleep before 2am. The rooms were so so loud from the street music up until 2am both nights. We even moved rooms once and could still not sleep. This is a bare bones hotel you’re staying 100% for location only if you’re into drinking and bars. Tried to get out of our stay due to the noise but they wouldn’t let us cancel. Avoid this hotel.

The room was really clean and new feeling. Staff was great! Check in was easy. However, the room is small and the TV didn't work. Overall a great spot for a 1 or 2 night stay.
