Great central Galway location
It was a great location to get everywhere in Galway and a quick hop out of the city for day trips too. The staff were great and welcomed us.

Hard to find, literally down an alley. Tiny room. Awkward bathroom with totally open shower - no curtain or glass - bathroom gets soaked. Very noisy outside with hundreds of kids in bars, puking everywhere.

Great location, very clean hotel. We parked in the lot next to the hotel with the $12 (1/2 price) rate. The room was small but very tidy. We had a handicapped room which was fine except the bathroom floor gets VERY slippery when wet. More floor mats would have been helpful.

A very nice, small but charming hotel. Tucked away down a narrow alley, it had a lovely little lobby, elevator access, and very friendly front staff. Check in was easy and the room was on the small side but bright and airy with slanted windows and a very nice bathroom. The bath products and shower were great after a long voyage. No onsite front desk staff at night, but easy access with a fob to let you back in after a night out. Great location to access central Galway.

Such a gem in the heart of Galway. A short walk to the bars and restaurants. Raj was so helpful, and had good recommendations for the nightlife. Quiet, clean and perfect for our one night stay!

I liked that it was close to Shop Street and Eyre Square, but removed enough that we didn’t hear the crowds too much at night. No breakfast provided, but there are really close options that are inexpensive and tasty (Jungle Cafe & Scon). The man who checked us in was really friendly and gave us great recommendations for eating. Room was just big enough for our purposes and had a fridge. Park @ City Park/City Center off of Fairgreen nearby. The Lane will discount daily parking cost.

Nice little place tucked away from the hustle and bussel of the city center, but only a few steps away from the city center. Room was lovely, but the bathroom had paint chipping on the ceiling. Would stay again, only if on sale. Prices are a bit steep.

The rooms certainly didn’t look like the photos in Expedia. Our room was bright but so small. I couldn’t open my suitcase as there wasn’t any room. Also hit my head on the beams which caused me to see stars. The hallways were so darkly lit. Not my kind of boutique hotel. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Tiny room
Hotel is tucked into an alley, and the whole place felt more like a speakeasy. Room had a window that didn’t open and the window had a frosted film over it so you couldn’t look out. Room was extremely tiny, no closet, just a 1 foot pole and a few hangers. Shower was too complicated for my girlfriend, but I liked it. Good pressure and temp. Hotel parking was very tight, but convenient.
