Not the best or worst stay ever. Was a little disappointed upon first arrival (pictures were definitely professionally enhanced) but the place grows on you... a bit.... It's an old boat and it smells that way. Parking (as they state) can be risky and to nullify the risk it can be an extra cost to bear. We were almost clamped even after paying to park (and after being promised the only parking spot). However, the sound system and proximity to all the pubs and shopping of Galway are a plus. It's quite expense to stay here when you can book a nice room for a comparable cost. But.... if you're looking for an "experience" of staying on a boat, then it might be worth paying for.
