Staff friendly, quick check-in, small room but clean and modern, good shower, lots of storage for luggage, air conditioning, great location for the city or bus and train station for day trips. Ideal as a base for a short trip or onward journey.

Room was very clean, location was hard to beat, 5-10 minute walk to anything and everything. We visited during a warm couple of days so the lack of air conditioning was a little tough but bearable.

Budget friendly plush backpackers lodge
Stay was good, the room was a bit noisy and although the keycard worked on all doors required to get to my room, it didn’t work on the entry door, but overall it was an enjoyable place to stay and I will stay again.

A nice surprise
A very comfortable hotel. The beds are quite small, but that’s the only complaint. Extremely reasonable rates. A nice garden courtyard. Friendly staff. Great location.

The front desk staff at the time of check-in were lovely. They were so kind and welcoming. We would recommend having fans in each room as the temperature was a bit warm.

close to eyre square, and city center. Parking at the facility on the other side of the street, get your ticket validated at the hotel and it is 12 EUR a day.
Very nice staff !

The staff who work there are very sweet. The bedrooms themselves are very basic but there is laundry on the premises and it’s very walkable. Pay extra for parking but you get a discount. Not luxurious but gets the job done for a fair price.

Property was very clean and staff was exceptional. The bed was ok but not great. No waste basket in the room or bathroom which was strange.

The staff was very friendly, and the room was clean, with a very nice bathroom. The mattress was a little bit uncomfortable, but nothing unmanageable. It was also very loud, with people slamming doors well into the early morning. Otherwise it was a lovely place to stay, and I would visit again

Overall a great time. We had a studio so we were able to make some light food but also enjoyed the local restaurants. The staff were very friendly. The room was quite stuffy and hot (summer booking) but they had fans available for us and that improved the air flow nicely. I have mobility issues and the elevator had issues our entire stay and was out of service the day we checked out. Luckily they were accommodating and let us check out later when it was fixed. Really lovely staff!

If you’re ok with a dorm room this place is for you. However, the large open area next to check in was a nice place to go. The price was right, the front desk people very friendly and accommodating. We needed a fan and a hair dryer and they quickly provided them. The biggest problem was that the bed was up against a wall so the inside person had a tough time getting in and out. Storage was plentiful, but no tv, refrigerator, or any way to make coffee. But, like I mentioned above, the common area worked for us. So I gave it a three but overall, it was a good stay and according to most prices in Ireland, well worth the money

The hotel, while at a great location, was lacking in several areas. For one, when we first entered the room, it was clear that room service didn’t do a thorough job as there were crumbs in several locations and there were hairs on the bathroom floor. We don’t understand why room service only came in to fix our bed but not other cleaning the bathroom properly along with dealing with the sink drainage issue. The AC was not working and the room and the hallways leading to it were very hot. We had to request a fan to help cool down the room. Also, the bathroom sink had a drainage issue that was an annoyance the whole time we were there. I would recommend this hotel if you want a location close to the downtown Galway and to the tour pick up spots and able to overlook the cleanliness.
