Booked the best room - cost £250 - view of a concrete wall and massive air vent.
Mirror next to hairdryer angled down on sloping wall so either had to be a tiny person or dry hair without mirror.
Shower poorly draining - almost completely flooded the floor .
Also felt like a hospital shower room .
Annoying intermittent clicking sound from somewhere in the bathroom all night
On the plus side , air conditioning, coffee and clean . Close to the centre .

The location here was the best. Everything was close, and the city bus station is right next door. The hotel room was clean . the staff were friendly. I forgot the name of the man working at the front desk, but he was Malaysian. He was so kind and tried his best to help, so I was very grateful. If you were booking a tour or looking for best location I would prefer this hotel.

Staff was very kind & the whole room was clean. Awesome location as well. There is occasionally a very cute dog who will be with reception, he loves a good belly rub. The rooms are smaller but thats super common in europe, especially if its not a chain like marriott or hilton (but the big chains dont have nearly as much character as the independent/ boutique hotels) 100% recommend staying here!

We absolutely adored our stay here and wish it was longer. It’s located on a secure alleyway with a desk managed 9am to 9pm. They’ve really thought of everything in terms of access after hours - they even leave a phone at the front desk with the after hours contact number. We booked the snug room and were surprised to find it bigger than we expected. Really lovely amenities in the room and bathroom. Would definitely stay again and recommend. It was very affordable and centrally located, especially to the bus and train stations.

The location of the hotel is great, only a 3-minute walk from the train station, and the staff at the front desk was super kind! The building is overall really nice, but the rooms could probably use some updating and small maintenance (e.g. peeling plaster on the bathroom ceiling, marks on the walls, etc). They also don't offer a breakfast option. Nonetheless I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel, it's a good value for the price and there are plenty of great pubs and cafes nearby!

Check-in was definitely not what we were hoping for, which was obviously disappointing. We arrived super early, but we knew the hotel didn’t have staff until 9 AM once it was 9 AM. We went to the hotel and attempted to check in early. Obviously our room was not ready and we understood that, so we went back out on the town, left our bags and asked them to give us a call whenever the room was ready, hoping that they would get us in before 3 o’clock (especially after they heard that we arrived at 4 AM) we went back out to explore the town and again checked back in around noonish. Still, the room was not ready but they assured us they would call us as soon as possible. At around 3:30 we went back to the hotel and thankfully our room was ready, FINALLY! What was frustrating was no one had called us, like they had said they would and it was after the check-in time. In addition, they never asked or shared information about the parking that they had available at the hotel, until we inquired about it, after I read the pamphlet in the room. The room was fine obviously tiny but because it was so tiny it definitely made it seem as though they could’ve had it ready prior to 3 o’clock, especially knowing that we had arrived so early and check out is at 11.

Beautiful Boutique Hotel with Fantastic Location

Excellent location, service, and quality for a reasonable price. The room was described as “snug” at the time of booking. It was small, as to be expected in a city, but the design made excellent use of cubbies, shelves, and drawers to maximize storage and necessities. Very happy with our stay. Charlie and Oscar (very friendly dogs) made for an extra special welcome.

It was very walkable in Galway. Room was a little dated and dingy. Staff was friendly enough. The plumbing is LOUD and the walls are thin so you hear every noise from the other rooms. Room was very very small, good enough for one POSSIBLY two.

Nice welcome!!!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The Hotel is in a quiet spot, but is also in a walkable distance to the old town and main attractions. Although the room felt cramped, the bed was comfortable but unfortunately, the pillows were thick and hard. We loved the open shower accessible to a wheelchair. The downside is that it left the entire floor wet, which made it slippery and we had nothing to wipe it off other than our only bath towel. The comforter being extremely thick and warm, a second linen sheet would have been nice for a more comfortable sleep.

The rooms were tiny, amenities very unimpressive, just not the best boutique hotel experience. Was more motel-ish.

My stay at the Lane felt so indulgent. The bed was so comfortable, and I loved the little details like the pretty coffee cups snd the giant towels. The staff were very helpful snd went out of their way to accommodate me needs. The location could not be better. I would stay at the Lane again in a heartbeat.
