ANYONE BOOKING THIS PROPERTY PLEASE READ: The hotel sits on top of a very popular pub that has live music going until 2-2:30am some nights. There is absolutely no sound-proofing (we were on the second floor) so if you are a light sleeper or are bothered by noise DO NOT book this hotel. It felt our room was in a club bathroom, and could hear the music, and lyrics clearly. If you're going to be out partying / drunk all night, this could be a good hotel for you. I think the hotel should have better warnings about the noise. They say it gets "lively" which is a gross understatement. Pricing the rooms that are on the first or second floors at a cheaper rate would be more fair- if it was explicitly stated that you'd be hearing music until 2am. I wish I read more reviews before booking this hotel. The photos on this Expedia listing are also misleading (the show a picture of a cathedral interior) which isn't a part of the property. The street view is also much different. Quay street is congested with foot traffic, buskers, and outdoor dining- which isn't a complaint. Quay street is where most of the action is in Galway and it's a super convenient location, just not worth the price for 2 nights of no sleep.

Avoid room 104 or 102.. it is directly of above bar where music is till 2:00am. When asked what time the music ended on Friday night we were told 11;00pm ish.. and didn’t we read the reviews we did but no one said music would be so loud and annoying.. While website said be for some noise it never said bar was right below us.. Staff very friendly and know they had no control.. they need to say where this hotel sits!! No one would rent here if they knew!!!

Amazing location with parking

Hotel was a bit hard to find but once inside it had a fun, funky vibe. The room was clean but incredibly small and the toilet was not working properly. Parking is right next store and there is shopping and restaurants as soon as you walk out the door.

The shower was very poor. Very slow and never changed temperature really. However, the food in the restaurant was brilliant and the front desk service was great. Area of the hotel couldn't be better.

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Parking is literally next door - great value given the location. Staff are super friendly. And they left a nice note and a box of chocolates when I asked for something special for my gf. Lovely touch and really appreciated. The room itself is lovely, new and clean. Great bathroom and shower/bath. Zero complaints.
