If location is key, this is the place. Right in town and walkable to everything. The city center is small compared to Galway and Dublin of course yet that is what we were looking for-no tourist trap here. Bed was comfortable although Small compared to our American standards. Kitchen was simple yet had everything one might need. We did not use it. The bathroom was ample as well. As far as noise, the street noise was minimal compared to the upstairs tenants. Would recommend and would stay again .
