Room was very clean, location was hard to beat, 5-10 minute walk to anything and everything. We visited during a warm couple of days so the lack of air conditioning was a little tough but bearable.

Dorm apartments converted to hotel rooms for the summer made it possible for our young adult kids to have some privacy on vacation. Rooms were small but functional. Not fancy but a decent place to stay

Galway Stay

This place exceeded my expectations! The room is quite small (which is to be expected for a budget stay), but there was plenty of storage space. Our room was clean upon arrival and stocked with towels and toiletries. Rooms are cleaned every 3 days, but you can request additional towels and toiletries whenever. I definitely recommend this place!

Very warm inside the building and rooms, little airflow. Quite noisy at night. In a convenient area to the Latin Quarter - within walking distance to many pubs and stores.

A nice surprise

A very comfortable hotel. The beds are quite small, but that’s the only complaint. Extremely reasonable rates. A nice garden courtyard. Friendly staff. Great location.

The front desk staff at the time of check-in were lovely. They were so kind and welcoming. We would recommend having fans in each room as the temperature was a bit warm.

Property appears to be a rental for the summer months. Its a school dormitory but very quiet and safe. Washer and dryer at location for small cost. Room was small but comfy for what we needed. Bathroom was inside the room.

Budget friendly plush backpackers lodge

Stay was good, the room was a bit noisy and although the keycard worked on all doors required to get to my room, it didn’t work on the entry door, but overall it was an enjoyable place to stay and I will stay again.
