Yes, the staff was very helpful. The room was clean.
A great little micro hotel in the heart of the pub scene in Galway City. Everything was very clean. There were few amenities but for the price of the room and the location we were happy. It does get noisy in the night due to the location, but we packed ear plugs so we did not mind.
The room was snug as the hotel name suggests but very cosy, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for an overnight business stay. The reception staff were amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area with what to see and do, the price was also right and we will stay again as we felt it was in the heart of the action in Galway city, excellent!
An ideal location for a social weekend in Galway. Everything is within walking distance & you are amongst the hustle & bustle, looking out over The Quays Bar, yet the room itself was not noisy (very good windows).
The room was lovely and clean & the staff were very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
Found this place on Instagram and it turned out to be the best hotel I could’ve picked. It was in the perfect location, so many things all around it, so close to the Christmas festival in the train station. Really enjoyed staying the night here. 10/10 recommend for solo travelers.
