Great location and a quiet room. A non hosted hotel has distinct disadvantages but that is part the of the price. We only had scalding hot water in our shower and I did not particularly want to complain to the bots. Otherwise, the room was clean and comfortable in a location that could not be any better.

Check in went well, we obtained our key cards via the machine without problem. The location was excellent, close to the Latin quarter with the lively shops and restaurants. We slept well in the bed, very comfortable. The one complaint concerned the bathroom. Every time we used the sink, we were overwhelmed with a sewage smell which lasted and lingered throughout our stay (3 days). We had to keep the bathroom door closed and the bathroom fan on for our entire stay in order to manage the unpleasant odour. We advised the property manager who did have staff come to cover the smell with chemicals. However, as soon as we used the sink, the smell returned. We wouldn’t stay here again.

- The room was clean, but lacked any air conditioning appliances. We were lucky enough to borrow a fan from our friend who had two in his room.
- The window could open but would not close all of the way.
- We wanted to stream some shows from my laptop and tried connecting to the different inputs on the TV but they would not work.
- The parking is not onsite and the lot across the street has some conflicting messages about overnight parking. We were able to park for 2 nights and paid for a full daily parking which was about $30. The spots are not guaranteed however and fill up very quickly.
- WiFi is available but you will need to use WhatsApp (which ironically uses data/wifi) to contact the property for the password to the non-Guest Wifi.
- No staff on the property was no issue as they were prompt in response with WhatsApp

It's a good walking distance to the port and to downtown. There are plenty of eats and bars around but it's far enough away that you won't be disturbed by the night crowd too much.

Hotel is located in a perfect location for Galway! It is a few blocks away from the strip of bars so you aren't hearing too much loud noise at night. There is a car park right across the street from the hotel which is great. Checking in was super easy and convenient. At night there is a security guard to make sure no strangers come into the building which made us feel safe. Only complaint was rooms were a little small for 2 people and their bags. It was fine for us for 2 nights.

I have never left a poor review before but unfortunately there were too many issues with this stay that I am leaving my 1st poor review ever. The hotel is self check in which is totally fine, except that no info was given for a code to use the keypad to unlock the front door to get inside to use the self check in! We were lucky someone was coming out so we could get inside the building to check in. Other guests who arrived after us had the same issue even though we were all checking in during regular check in hours.
The rooms are modern and nicely done, a bit on the small side which is not a problem for us. The cleanliness was slightly questionable as there was someone else's hair on the bathroom floor, some dried food and a food stain on the duvet cover as well as pubic hair. The Nespresso machine only filled the mug 1/3 full of coffee, the rest drained into the pod collection basket, so it took 3 pods to make 1 cup! Some of the milk provided was sour. One side of the mattress was completely sagged and bulging out at the edge, making for an uncomfortable sleep. Lastly, there is a a very loud pub across the road, you need to wear ear plugs to sleep. Thankfully I travel with earplugs just in case as they only provided 1 pair despite there being 2 of us on the reservation.
The plus for this property is that it is in a central location.

This was perfect for our 2-night stay in Galway! Instructions were clear and we had no problems with the self-check-in kiosk; room was clean and well prepared for our visit. We chose a double bed plus twin bed room to have extra space (and in case one of us had a hard time sleeping after our long travels). We appreciated being within walking distance of the Latin Quarter, Spanish Arch, and Galway Cathedral. We always found parking in the city lot across the street. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, nice decor

Nice, basic hotel that is close to everything. For my taste, the bed and pillow were too hard and sleep was not uncomfortable. The room is nicely decorated, but there is very limited space for anything. The bathroom has no shelf and just a small sink- so nowhere to put basic toiletries.The room had a strong sewer odor upon check-in. I called their emergency line and they were very responsive. My bigger concern is that they charge hotel rates, but offer no service. The facility is completely unstaffed. When there is a concern, there is no one to call, except their emergency line. We stayed three nights, and the ceramic coffee cups and drinking glasses were never changed. There is no mechanism to clean them, so they were most unpleasant by the third day. I didn’t feel it was worthy of a phone call to the “emergency“ line. Next time, for the same cost, I will stay at a hotel with service or a less expensive AirBnB.

Would give 0 stars if I could

With the walls being so thin, we could hear every door slam open and closed, all night long, every 5-10 minutes.This slamming was loud enough for it to make our door and walls shake consistently. No front desk service meant that a rowdy person started screaming and yelling around 23:00, and the police had to come drag him out shrieking almost an hour later. It was very hot, and while the hotel did provide two fans for use, only one worked. We could not open the window due to the screaming happening on the streets. Between the near constant door slamming and the late night disturbance and consequent arrest, we did not sleep.

We had booked two separate nights over a weekend in early July. The keyless access is terrible. The guesthouse did not send the correct date's confirmation code and we could not access. I emailed and it took them 3 hours to get back to us. They refused to refund the nights' accommodation though I had to book another hotel and was very lucky to get a room at the last minute. I'm all for efficiency but not when you cannot address an issue and nobody answers the emergency number!!!

The stay was okay. We were clear that this was a basic hotel stay, but they really mean, basic. The kitchenette is only a kettle and coffee machine with a limited amount of coffee/tea/milk.
The building and room were clean with a few minor areas that were dirtier than the norm (beside the toilet, the side table had chips out of the material etc…). There are a few hangers for clothing, no knobs or hooks in the bathroom though.
The area is relatively quiet until the middle of the night when the parties are returning home from the pubs. To be expected anywhere! But it felt dingy and dirty and unsafe. We would not have gone out at night to have to return there.
It was about a six to eight minute walk to the square or bus/train and other happening areas.
