10/10 Exceptional

Definitely stay again and recommend

Awesome location, fantastic staff
Kim, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is located above a bar that has live music. If you're looking to get a good nights sleep before 2am, I'd recommend staying somewhere else. Good walk to all location and clean/newer rooms.
Kimberly, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place , would recommend to anyone
Graham, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location in heart of pub & touristy shopping district. Note that the hotel is located directly above popular pub M.Fitzgeralds - secure a room on the 4th floor unless you plan to stay out until 1am. The hotel has agreements with 2 car parks - definitely use Hynes which has much wider spots than Spanish Arch but a bit farther walking to hotel. Entrance to hotel is easily missed so watch carefully.
Joette, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is excellent. Right in the heart of the busy tourist section of Galway, but it is like a sanctuary. The hotel has a restaurant and bar that is excellent. The rooms are stylish and comfortable. If you are looking for an experience , then I really recommend this place.
Arne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was friendly and welcoming :)
Belinda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location if you love to be in the middle of things. However, it’s above a very fun bar so if you sleep with the window open it’s very loud and if you close it the room can get a bit stuffy (no ac).
Caroline, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel right on the main street of the Latin Quarter!
Charlotte, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Rooms was smaller than description. Good location. But too small of a room. No room for two people to pass each other in room

Amazing location. Will always recommend.
Kieran, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very central and has all the mod cons you need for a short stay.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Food was great. The only complaint would be no ac in hotel and it’s very loud being above the bars/restaurants. Bring your own shower cap, bar soap, shampoo/condition. Would stay again just in a back room not street side.
Yolanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is unique as it is right on the main street of the Latin Quarter. Restaurants and pubs are steps from the door. The hotel staff are amazing- kind and thoughtful, ready to help as needed 24/7. They treated our group as treasured family. We love this hotel.
Kristina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place for a night or two. Water pressure was not great.

Great Hotel for City People

This hotel is in the middle of the city center and there is a lot going on. If you need complete silence, this is not the hotel for you. My room was on the first floor and I could hear music from the bar until quite late, but it wasn’t anything earplugs or headphones couldn’t mask. The room is small (like 2 people would have been too many kind of small) but the bed was very comfortable and they fit a lot of amenities into a small space (kettle, coffee maker, safe, tv, work space with solid WiFi connection, etc.) Every staff person I interacted with was amazing, and the pub attached is great.
Abigail, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super location!!!! It was in the middle of restaurants, bars, shopping, train station, and all the attractions!!! We had a great time.
Ivonne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is the best, right down in the historic quarter near Spanish Arch, where the buildings are hundreds of years old. You feel like you are walking the road of history. The staff was so friendly and helpful, so we stayed an extra day. The bed was the best we’ve had this trip, so we caught up on our sleep without taking extra time for it! I would definitely stay here again.
Cheryl, 1-night trip

I loved how easy it was to get everywhere. The restaurant and bar were great!

Roman, 3-night trip

Conveniently located. Close to restaurants, pubs and shopping. Average room. After parking in the incredibly small Spanish arch car park, we opted to park several blocks away in a larger car park.
