Rooms are modern but often small, with some reports of worn mattresses, weak showers, and no air conditioning leading to warm or stuffy nights. Cleanliness is generally solid, though a few guests noted musty smells or tired carpets. Parking is off site in nearby garages with tight spaces, and the entrance can be easy to miss. Overall, expect a lively base for exploring the city on foot.

This hotel is excellent. Right in the heart of the busy tourist section of Galway, but it is like a sanctuary. The hotel has a restaurant and bar that is excellent. The rooms are stylish and comfortable. If you are looking for an experience , then I really recommend this place.

Excellent location in heart of pub & touristy shopping district. Note that the hotel is located directly above popular pub M.Fitzgeralds - secure a room on the 4th floor unless you plan to stay out until 1am. The hotel has agreements with 2 car parks - definitely use Hynes which has much wider spots than Spanish Arch but a bit farther walking to hotel. Entrance to hotel is easily missed so watch carefully.

This was a lovely hotel in the heart of Galway! It made walking around the city and dining so easy. The Spanish Arch car park is not for the faint of heart. If you have a big car or aren't comfortable driving, use another car park. The front desk staff had great recommendations for places to see and eat. Yes, you can hear the music from the bar downstairs. We didn't find it a problem, though.

The room was comfortable and clean. It was in the heart of Quay Street where all the hopping bars are located. It can be a little loud outside the hotel so probably not for someone who wants a quiet stay. But the location is otherwise in a prime area. The staff were really wonderful. They were super friendly and accommodating. There isn’t much of a lobby area, but the bar 1520 next door provides a nice place to hang out.

This hotel was one of the biggest disappointments in our 4 week trip in the British Isles. It is located on a very busy and loud walking street, making it difficult to access and loud outside until around 3 am. The elevator smelled, the coffee maker leaked and didn’t work and the shower water pressure was non existent. The room was over $300 Euros per night - too expensive for its shortfalls.

This eclectic hotel was in a great area and very walkable to most of what you’d want to see. Check in was super easy and the desk attendant was friendly. There’s no air in the room, which was mostly fine because the windows opened and the temps were great. However, the room had a musty damp smell as a result, which was less than desirable.

This property is in need of a complete overhaul. The carpets are very smelly, stained, and have not been cleaned or replaced in many years. It is not clearly marked and not easy to get to. We unloaded bags and had to navigate garage floors, then we were dropped in a cross with a few Alley ways. Not at all easy. The room had no Air Conditioning and the window opened a few inches for air. They had a fan that was loud and very old. This place was very inconvenient a huge disappointment. I will be pursuing a refund. Total sh*t show and should not be listed on Expedia!

Older hotel in a great location. There is no onsite parking. Very noisy, even on weekdays. We heard loud music and yelling well after midnight. Trash cleanup and trucks starting at 6 am. No AC. Clean room and friendly staff. Surprised by the overall rating. People must really like the location. Hotel is just okay. Solid 6 or 7. Not a 9/“wonderful”

This hotel is in the middle of the city center and there is a lot going on. If you need complete silence, this is not the hotel for you. My room was on the first floor and I could hear music from the bar until quite late, but it wasn’t anything earplugs or headphones couldn’t mask. The room is small (like 2 people would have been too many kind of small) but the bed was very comfortable and they fit a lot of amenities into a small space (kettle, coffee maker, safe, tv, work space with solid WiFi connection, etc.) Every staff person I interacted with was amazing, and the pub attached is great.

Would only recommend for young partiers as just a decent place to crash after a night out, but not for a family/kids or anyone wanting a nice retreat. The pictures are deceiving. 1 star for the misleading photos/description. We had trouble finding the place and after asking several people, we were directed to a small door placed between two restaurant patios. No wonder they didn’t post pictures of their entrance. The first gal to greet us was friendly and she’d get 5 stars, but the other 2 people we dealt with for questions and check out were pretty miserable. The place is old and kind creepy but it was clean. Our room was tiny, didn’t have television to watch (could only cast apps from your phone but we didn’t have those), got 3 tiny twin beds pushed together, no toiletries in bathroom, coffee maker with no cups…it honestly felt a bit like an upscale hostel. Now this wouldn’t be so bad if it was a cheap stay- but it was nearly $300 for a weeknight! I expected more with that price. The location is great if you want a fun street side atmosphere or plan on going out because you are literally in the middle of a bustling walkable street. The bar/restaurant attached was fun and a cool atmosphere. If youre there for the nightlife, have at it. Otherwise book elsewhere.

The location is ideal but not if u have lots of luggage (I.e traveling around Ireland and this being the last stop). The parking is off site and u have to carry luggage up the first flight of steps. U have to wheel luggage down a cobblestone street the lift it up a few steps into the smallest lobby I’ve ever seen. After staying at other locations in Ireland this was the least favorite for us. Definitely focused on city location and not amenities or service. I also left a few clothing items. When I realized it the next day I called and the staff said they’d mail them back to me. Yeah . . , that never happened. So the cost of the room was then doubled by losing $300USD in clothes. The room was hot in July and had no air. There was a fan. Windows had to be open and it sits on the busiest street in Galway. So that wasnt ideal. Noisy. Because it is in walking distance of some great attractions I gave it 2 stars. Otherwise I would have given It zero.

Hotel is located on Quay Street which has a lot of shops and restaurants with live music. Our room was interesting as we had 3 people (my daughter, my husband, and myself). If you have 3 people your room has 3 twin beds. One for each person. The bathroom was nice. They provided 2 fans which was nice. The staff were nice. We did have an issue getting back into the hotel one night. We had dinner late and got back to the hotel around 11pm and the front door was locked. We rang the doorbell multiple times and knocked. Eventually a staff member opened the door and apologized for the delay.

Note that the hotel is located directly above popular pub M.Fitzgeralds - secure a room on the 4th floor unless you plan to stay out until 1am. The hotel has agreements with 2 car parks - definitely use Hynes which has much wider spots than Spanish Arch but a bit farther walking to hotel. Entrance to hotel is easily missed so watch carefully.

Great stay with reception staff going the extra mile to ensure our stay was organised. Recommend the pub downstairs for food and music but get in early or you will miss out. The room can get a bit hot but use the fans supplied, they do a great job! Overall the Residence had everything we were wanting from our stay which was fun and ease.

This hotel is excellent. Right in the heart of the busy tourist section of Galway, but it is like a sanctuary. The hotel has a restaurant and bar that is excellent. The rooms are stylish and comfortable. If you are looking for an experience , then I really recommend this place.

Great location. Food was great. The only complaint would be no ac in hotel and it’s very loud being above the bars/restaurants. Bring your own shower cap, bar soap, shampoo/condition. Would stay again just in a back room not street side.

Loved the front desk staff! Rooms were very nice and clean. Very comfortable bed. Great restaurant/bar connected to the hotel. We were on the first floor and could hear music from the bar, but we turned up the tv a bit and could no longer hear it. Had no issues sleeping as the noise is not that loud.

This place was great! There's a restaurant/bar with live music downstairs, and it's right by a plethora of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful.

The shower was very poor. Very slow and never changed temperature really. However, the food in the restaurant was brilliant and the front desk service was great. Area of the hotel couldn't be better.

The size of the rooms was decent, loved the in room coffee pot and you can't be at the location BUT the pub below was BLASTING music well past 2am and even with 2 sound machines and closed windows no sleep was to be had. Staff were polite but not friendly and with no breakfast service available we'll make a different choice on our next visit to Galway.

Located right in the heart of Galway, literally 3 steps out the door, you’re in the middle of the lively street. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were very clean, but they were pretty small. However it was so centrally located it evened out. The only downside was no air conditioning. I know that a lot of Europe doesn’t have air conditioning but fans were provided, however, you had to keep the windows and drapes open to get the outside air, which then made sleeping very difficult.
