If you want to see the main area of Galway this is the perfect location! Everything is basically right outside your door including the Spanish archway. We were looking for a famous street where part of the song ‘Galway girl’ was shot and ended up realizing it was basically right on the other side of one of the buildings we were looking at from outside the windows. There is plenty of great food around and just minimal street noise at night. The place could use some updates mostly in the bathrooms but the location is worth it. The beds were pretty comfortable overall and this was one of the only places on our stay that we didn’t run out of hot water.
