A fun experience and a great location! It was within walking distance of all the major sites to see in Galway. The bed was a little short for my husband and me (6'2 and 5'7 respectively) so it wasn't the best night's rest but we only stayed one night. I would not plan on there being parking outside the boat. We had to park at the port for 10 euros a night and it was about a 7 min walk to the boat. A little tricky to find the boat at first but after some wandering we did eventually find it.
