Totally recommend for a trip
Comfortable room, convenient location, with easy walking access to nearby attractions like the Latin Quarter and Spanish Arch. the staff was friendly and the pub experience vibrant, especially with the busy crowds we encountered for the Halloween festival.
Absolutely nothing to criticize.

The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the
heart of Galway. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. However, the noise from the nearby pubs was a bit disruptive at night, but it was manageable for the vibrant atmosphere it offered.

Unboxing my experience
The pub atmosphere thrives here! Breakfast was a delight, with attentive service. Perfectly located near shops, but be ready for some noise from the lively bar below. Earplugs are a thoughtful touch for light sleepers. Friendly staff made our stay enjoyable, despite a few wear-and-tear signs in the rooms.

Cool spot, but the noise was rough
Had a pretty nice time! The location is spot on, right near everything you wanna see. The staff was super friendly, and the bar had some good vibes. Only problem was the music getting too loud at night. Couldn’t sleep well with that thumping bass. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, just wish it was a bit quieter.

Amazing live music atmosphere in the bar.
My recent stay was rather disappointing. The noise from the bar was unbearable, even with the earplugs provided. I struggled to sleep due to the loud music and the drunken patrons outside. It became increasingly frustrating as the nights wore on, and by the end of my stay, I felt exhausted and regretted my choice of hotel.

great location but room needs a refresh
The spaciousness of the twin room was impressive, allowing us to feel comfortable during our stay. The complimentary bottles of water were a thoughtful touch that added to our overall experience and are rare to find these days.

would like to stay there on the next trip
Location was perfect, just across from Eyre Square. The twin room had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with great toiletries. Breakfast offered freshly baked pastries and local options, enjoyed in a beautiful room. Live music created a fun atmosphere in the bar below. Super friendly staff were always ready to help.

A delightful pub experience
Woke up to the enticing sound of live music from the pub downstairs. The staff's warmth made us feel at home, and breakfast with a view was unforgettable!
Unfortunately, the shower in our room drained slowly, and the pillows left much to be desired. It took some getting used to, but we still enjoyed our stay.

Oh, the breakfast was a feast! Freshly baked goods, and the bar downstairs served up local bites that had me swooning. The location? Perfect—just a hop away from the Aran Island Ferry dock! Loved the friendly atmosphere at the bar too.
We scored two rooms. my partner and I were in a tiny one with a dodgy carpet while my sister-in-law enjoyed her spacious digs. A bit of a head-scratcher, right? Still, the charm of Galway kept us grinning!

great proximity to eyre square and galway's landmarks
during my stay, I loved being just a few steps from Eyre Square and the beautiful statue of Oscar Wilde, which made my city strolls so easy and enjoyable. The restaurant on-site was incredibly charming and the staff were all genuinely friendly, adding to the wonderful experience of exploring Galway's vibrant streets as a single traveler. however, the noise from the bar downstairs could be a bit disruptive if you're looking for an early night's sleep.
