Reviewed Sep 14, 2026Il punto forte dell'hotel è senz'altro la sua posizione centrale, comodissima per spostarsi e girare la città. La struttura si trova al terzo piano di un palazzo. Le camere sono piuttosto strette e l'ambiente generale risulta alquanto datato, sia negli arredi che nei servizi. Nel complesso è una soluzione accettabile per brevi soggiorni senza troppe pretese, ma con un rinnovamento degli spazi potenziale e vivibilità migliorerebbero notevolmente.

The price was a bit high. It would be nice to have an included breakfast or a bit more space for the price. But I loved my stay and had a very nice time.

Reviewed Aug 24, 2026Het hotel is gelegen in het centrum van Galway. Alles is dichtbij. Er zijn voldoende zaken in de buurt met de mogelijkheid om te ontbijten. De kamer was voorzien van airco, maar die hebben we niet nodig gehad. De kamer was akoestisch goed geïsoleerd, we hebben goed geslapen.
We hadden de kamer voor mindervalide personen. Dat was een pluspunt, want daardoor hadden we een grote badkamer en een grote slaapkamer. De badkamer was heel ruim, er was echter geen rekje of haakje om je spullen op te plaatsen of kleren op te hangen, enkel een klein tafeltje. Maar dat is maar een heel klein minpuntje.

No es un hotel realmente. La habitación es mínima. Olvidate de quitar la ropa de las maletas. No hay donde ponerla. La TV además de pequeña no es ni siquiera Smart así que si no tienes cable olvidate de plataformas. El baño, aunque limpio y nuevo es tambien muy pequeño. En fin mini habitaciones muchas de las cuales dan a patio trasero.

Reviewed Aug 9, 2026The hotel was in an excellent location, right next to Eyre Square. Plenty of bars and eating places in the immediate area. A very short walk to shop street and the Latin Quarter. The lane the hotel is situated in is very secure with a gate that locks in the evening. We booked a double room and although it was a bit on the small side they made the best use of space. It was spotlessly clean, the bed was very comfortable and it had a great shower. It also had air conditioning which was a bonus. Staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful.
it would have been useful to have somewhere to hang towels in the bathroom.

Reviewed Aug 5, 2026Great central location and very friendly staff. The room was equipped with a Nespresso machine and original capsules, and the AC was available if needed.

Reviewed Aug 4, 2026Les points forts sont la situation ( à proximité de la zone piétonne où tout est concentré) et le parking qu’il faut réserver à l’avance . Les chambres sont jolies , propres et climatisées .
Comme cela a déjà été commenté la chambre est petite et il n’y a rien pour pendre les grandes serviettes dans la salle de bains et il n’y a pas de vue sympa . Mais je ne regrette absolument pas mon choix d’hôtel pour 1 /2 nuits à Galway c’est un choix tout à fait efficace par rapport à ce qui est proposé dans le secteur .
