    Our room overlooking the fun zone was awesome. The fish restaurant next door was the best. This was exactly what we were looking for in Galway. The town was super fun & friendly. We wish we had stayed another night. There was so much to do & only a few hours.

    The first night we only had a fan on a very warm evening. Second night we moved rooms to a very quiet and air conditioned excellent room.

    Great location.

    If you are a light sleeper and are staying on the weekend, be aware it can get very noisy from all the pubs in the vicinity

    The location is great and is right in the middle of Quay Street. There is live music and a bar attached downstairs to the hotel as well as many other choices within walking distance. You will need to utilize the parking garage steps away which is easy and gets you a discount on the price. Our room was very comfortable.

    Shower water stream was weak and took 2 minutes to get hot water. Parking per night was 16 Euro. The music from the next door pub was heard until 2 AM (not very loud)

    The hotel is in a very good location, on a street of pubs and restaurants, with not traffic. The room is very nice. Parking is right next to the hotel. The night reception person and the morning reception person - both nice and practical

    As the information explains the music from the neighboring bar below runs until about 2 am on the Friday, Saturday, and the eves of bank holidays.

    The location of this property is perfect. You are right in the action of Galway with fun bars, restaurants, and shops a few steps away.

    Location was not only beautiful it was unbeatable, right at the start of the most heart of Galway. Shared a wall with a pub with trad music, coffee shop a few doors down- everywhere you turned there was iconic historic attractions just outside the door. The rooms are large and lush, as are the bathrooms. The bed was big and comfortable with floor to ceiling windows. We loved our time here, and the staff was warm, accommodating and friendly!

    I have done my fair share of travelling & this was by far my favourite hotel! The room was stunning! The bed was extremely comfortable! I loved all the lighting and the tv. The bathroom was also gorgeous with a bath included. The location is extremely central and you get can everywhere by foot. Would definitely recommend and stay again. The lady at reception was also extremely friendly!

    Even though there was secondary glazing you could still hear the noise from the pubs and the streets. Ok if you use earplugs.

    Great location as right in the heart of the Latin Quarter
