It’s a perfect place to stay, a bit overpriced but it’s what we have. Also if you can’t sleep with noise I don’t think it’s a good place since is basically in the middle of the party 🎶 (I’m not complaining) last but not least the mattress were amazing.

Great staff. Great location. Room was very clean. The only negatives were the noise from the street, but we knew about that going in. Its worth staying here for a night just to party in the Latin Quarter.

I loved everything about this hotel. The room was definitely "Snug" but the design layout definitely made the room very functional. The staff was welcoming, with a wonderful sense of humor. The location was absolutely perfect, and allowed us to even enjoy the liveliness of the street below our window. I loved the energy! Note: The hotel has no elevators and is not in a peaceful spot.

I absolutely LOVED this property! We stayed in the duplex and it was incredible. The location is perfect as there are pubs all around and there is a parking garage about a 5 minute walk away which was very convenient since we had a rental car! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would absolutely stay here again!

As the name implies, the rooms are tiny. However, you’re in the middle of everything and so many pubs and shopping right nearby. If I stayed there again, I would get my own room. I traveled with my sister so it was a bit cramped. Outside noise will keep you up if you are an early to bed person. It quiets down around midnight. For our needs, it worked out ok but we stayed just 2 nights.

Great hotel with an amazing location!

This place was amazing! I was a little bit skeptical because of the name, but the location is literally in the heart of Galway, everything is walkable and despite its name the room was excellent and very well laid out.
