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!

Great location. It is on a major area for bars, restaurants etc so some may find it noisy - I did not have issues. The compact arrangement does make bed access a challenge for less mobile folks, but I slept well. The bathroom was good. No space for a chair in the room and Very little sitting space in the hotel itself. Kettle etc available, but no fridge. I'm happy with my stay.

The name was a giveaway for the size, number of, and quantity/quality of the amenities - snug. Incredibly tiny room, including an awfully designed bunk bed that caused all 3 adults to repeatedly bang/injure their heads. The room had no bedside tables, poorly placed power outlets and not enough space to place luggage. The bathroom was half the size of the room and spacious. The parking location and size was like the hotel - tiny/snug and dangerously designed. Great location, right on Quay Street, with everything walkable, but makes sleep impossible with the noise - where some other hotels have good sound insulation, this one had none.

Unique and comfortable

our family enjoyed the unique and comfortable style of the room. Most importantly for us we had 2 levels and 2 bathrooms so it was very convenient. We were right in the center of the local attractions and would definitely recommend this hotel.

Positive: good looking space, nice washrooms and great location. Cons: Horrid mattresses - you can feel the individual springs and the hotel has no extra duvets or something to help you pad the mattress. It’s not clear in the description but this hotel is on top of and near many bars - they provide ear plugs to block out the noise. Would be a great stay if not for the mattress - the worst sleep we had while in Ireland.

You simply cannot beat this location. You are truly in thw heart of Galway and step out to all the shops and restaurants. The room are small (hence the name), but are well maintained and have everything you need to be comfortable. There is storage in the room for your personal items during your stay.

Cute small hotel in a great location. That being said, it’s extremely loud, so sadly if you plan on sleeping before the bars close at 3am, good luck. Oh, and no elevator, so pack light.
