The Snug is a cute property, ideal for singles or couples who want to be near the Latin quarter. It's in a great location for what Galway has to offer.

Perfectly located! Everything was super clean. AC in rooms worked perfectly. The rooms are extremely small which we knew ahead of time but just in case for travelers deciding. It being so centrally located and clean and a decent price made it a perfect stay. It’s also right near all the bars and restaurants - like right on top of it so if you need quiet, maybe not for you. 10/10 would recommend to my friends.

Cute hotel with nice design. It's located on a very busy street with popular shops and pubs so expect some noise at night (though they do include earplugs in the room!) I don't mind the noise so I slept fine. Other than that I would caution any elderly folks or those with movement disabilities as the building is old and there are a lot of winding, often narrow stairs and halls to access the rooms. Overall, great stay and would recommend

It’s exactly as represented. Small room for a bed and wash room. That’s really all you need since you will be out enjoying the beauty of Galway! It truly is in the heart of everything! Surprisingly very quiet.

The location is RIGHT in the heart of the Latin Quarter--directly across from the Galway Girl sculpture. If you're an early riser (and therefore an early to bed person), you might need to alter your sleeping plans on Friday and Saturday night! Galway is a fun town and the Snug is at its epicenter! But with the windows closed and the AC on, the room is rather quiet considering its location amid the revelry. Super clean, super helpful staff, and super snuggly!

Shower was downstairs which was not convenient. Emergency lighting was too bright at night. The worst was how loud the street noise from the pubs at night. It was very difficult to sleep. The inside stairs were quite steep. Very limited space for something called a duplex. No place to sit other than the beds. Beds were very cramped for 2 people sharing and beds were placed where you had to climb over one another.

Snug is an understatement. The room was small but also had no window. Toilet ran all night, shampoo/body wash dispenser in shower didn’t work, walls thin so you can hear your neighbors, doors opening and closing all night. The ONLY positive was the location. Person at check in and same at check out was extremely unhelpful with the 2 questions we asked. Feel extremely ripped off for what we paid.

Very cozy and comfy little room with a nice skylight to wake up with natural light to.

Smack-dab in the middle of the tourist area which had major pros, since it was a short walk to everything we wanted to try and a short walk from the bus and train station.

Room was well-insulated from the noise and music of the area.

Would recommend for any tourists!

The location was amazing, and the concept and rooms themselves are cute and cozy. The blind on the window was terrible, and the room had a musty (wet) smell. There is no coffee machine (only instant coffee and a kettle) and there are no cups or wine glasses available. The door didn’t lock so was a little concerning and no safe. Comfy bed and the noise was not an issue at all, despite being right across from the Quay!

There was no head room and a slippery, metal ladder. Was not what we expected.

Friendly and helpful staff, clean room, great location. The only issue would be the outside noise with this place being located essentially right in the heart of the entertainment district. The staff does provide you with earbuds in your room, and honestly those do help if the night is still going on.

If you're a light sleeper or not taking part in the festivities it may not be ideal for you. Beyond that though, this place is a good choice - very central to just about everything in Galway.

They call the hotel \"snug\" and they're not joking. The room is so small that you have to go outside to change your room. The bed was tugged in among three walls, with a shelf right next to it. The bed was kinda lumpy and very hard to get out, and you have to crawl on top of the person next to you to go to bathroom at night. There's no place to move around. However, the room was clean, the staff was nice, great location in the middle of the city center. But I think this is the room for one person. They do have bigger rooms and we probably do that if we ever go back.

Excellent location and a nice tiny room. On a very busy street, so be prepared for some noise at night.

This property is right in the heart of everything.
Rooms are real Snug but had what we needed.
The one thing I would say is if you need to use the bathroom or get up for any reason at night, it's hard to crawl over your partner.

Location was wonderful and the staff very friendly. Our room was simply furnished and the bed was comfortable. Was all we needed since we spent our days out in Galway City. Restaurant recommendations were also great - will definitely return someday!

The room was Snug as expected however it is right in the middle of the Latin Quarter making it an ideal place to stay. The staff were extremely courteous and very helpful. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is not for you. Otherwise, I would stay here again .

This hotel is located right I. The middle of Quay street close to all the activities. In fact it’s directly across from the Quays Bar which is convenient but also noisy. The bar opens late so the noise doesn’t come down until after 2 AM. Our room faces the street and we had to use the provided ear plugs. Other rooms not on the Quay street may be quieter. Our room was simple but was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly too. Would stay again and ask for a quieter room.

Right in the Latin Quarter. Very noisy at night and in the morning we listened to the conversation of the couple right next to our room. Note there is no elevator and we were up 3 staircases. Reception did offer to help us with our suitcases. No parking on site but was close by. Parking lot was super tight to get in and park but you get a discount so only 12 euros for 24 hours. Hard to pull suitcases across cobblestone. Tiny room but clean and well organized.

Look, the rooms are small. Don’t expect a ton of space but the hotel is literally named “snug” so. On another note, it’s clean, comfortable, and everything a solo traveler would need.

Clean room, great staff, centrally located. Do not book a room overlooking the main street or you will have a difficult time sleeping. Chose one further back into the building.

Paid for the ‘roomier room’ it was still quite small. Ok for one night. Midweek so street noise was ok.

The room itself was very small. However that said, my bed was nice and big and comfy and there was a nice skylight right above which nicely induced smooth and natural sleep rhythms. Bathroom was neat and clean and had enough space to maneuver. The location literally could not be any better! Right across the street from Galway’s most famous pub! Moreover Quay St. is packed full of awesome pubs and restaurants.

Was right in the middle of the action if that is what you are looking for. Close to everything. They even supplied ear plugs since right on the street of pubs. The space was roomy & comfortable but a fresh coat of paint would make a huge difference in this place!

They weren’t kidding when they named it the SNUG Townhouse. The room is SMALL. As wide as the bed and then just a bit longer.

We spent 4 days here, yes it’s tiny, but the location and staff make it worth it. When you step out of the hotel you are in the heart of Galway. This was amazing for my friend and I. Everything was super clean and the staff was so kind. They gave us dinner recommendations and ways to spend our days. There aren’t any elevators as a fair warning, and if you plan on having more than 1 or 2 suitcases get a bigger room. We had the smallest one.

It was exactly what I was looking for, right in the heart of the town and close to everything. Even though the city was lively, my room was very quiet thanks to excellent soundproofing. The front desk staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful with my requests.

Our room was very small. There was a bed and the room surrounded the bed. If you are staying with another person, there is no space to sit which was especially hard because my husband and I wake up at different times.

Our room at the Snug House was incredibly snug. More like being in a trailer. The only sitting options were the bed or the toilet. That said, we were aware of the room size, just not prepared for actually existing in it. Also, late night/early morning party sounds emanated up to us until about 2am. They did supply ear plugs. Location was ideal for partying at the many, many pubs on the street. Most of the sound came from the pub below. If you’re aged 18-40 it might be ideal

Excellent location, easy checkin . Very clean. I would suggest that it strongly note that the townhouse for four people requires a lot of stairs which would be impossible for anyone with a disability. Overall for us it was great

Perfect location, very walkable. The hotel is older and there is no elevator and no one to help carry your luggage up. We were on the 3rd floor and it was a challenge. Also, the rooms in the photos must be their very limited more spacious room because our room had no floor space- which is fine, but unexpected. The rooms definitely live into the name, it was perfect for the pricepoint.
