We liked how close this place was to restaurants and pubs. It was even fairly close to Temple bar. What we didn’t like was the parking situation. Had to park in a public garage pretty far away, lots of one-way streets and blocked off streets, pretty hard to get to.

Liked the top room with the window in the ceiling. Convenient for walking around Galway. Was a bit noisey, both theough the window as well ad there must have been some power tool work being done in nearby rooms. Not a huge problem, but if you’re looking primarily for peaceful rooms, maybe look elsewhere
