The hotel is right in the heart of Galway and provides a great home base for Galway escapades. Our room was cozy and comfortable. It was appointed as pictured and small as other reviewers have indicated, but it worked fine for us.

The sounds of Galway's bustling nightlife certainly make their way into the room. We were there on Friday and Saturday nights. Friday was much louder when there was a band in the bar next door. But we actually retired earlier both nights, and slept well. If you need super quiet, it might not be the right spot for you, but we rather liked feeling like a part of the city.

Staff was friendly and generous. The night porter in particular seemed to be really watching out for us. And my daughter lost a much-loved necklace there. We were delighted to get an email from Hazel indicating that they had found it and offering to send it to us. So sweet and unexpected!
