Fine hotel, just a bit dingy and dated
Perfectly fine hotel, a little dingy and old/gloomy but works - bit expensive for what you get

Eyre Square Short Stay
A very good option for a short stay in the city centre; this place is no-frills but everything is clean and comfy and it’s good value for the incredibly convenient location.
The staff are very friendly which always helps

Quaint hotel in a great location
Quaint renovated hotel nicely located in the center of Galway. Street parking only, which was relatively easy to find and free overnight from 6pm to 8am. Friendly and helpful checkin staff. Walkable to all the top attractions and main drag. Lots of good restaurants nearby

Good sleep!
One night, just to sleep. Small room, but all needed was around. Staff was very friendly, they helped us taking care of our bags the next day, and they were very communicative before our check in, very responsive. Location was very convenient close to the train and to the bar/restaurants area. All in walking distance.

Small hotel near everything! Walkable to all pubs/shops and the train station is 2 min walk. No added extras like a gym… and front desk closes at 9 but the rooms are clean and updated.

Made a mistake with this ‘hotel’. A hotel, to me, has a lounge, a bar, a reception area, parking, etc. This place had none of these and I failed to check before booking. The room was very small (there are references to this in other posts, but I didn’t realise how small the rooms were). It’s more like a glorified hostel. If this is all you want then the place is fine, clean and tidy. Not for everyone. Wasn’t happy about the dog in the corridor during our stay either!

Small rooms and way too hot
The room was very small and was boiling hot when we got there. There was no air conditioning and our only option was to keep the window open but the noise from outside was extremely loud all night.

Raj on reception was exceptional. He went above and beyond for us. Such a lovely, warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. He even enquired the next day about my father who was in Galway for a medical procedure. Great asset to the hotel.

It was very close to the train station. Our tour pickup spot was minutes away. The area around is so walkable. It was such a perfect location. The hotel itself was super cute. The room was spacious enough for us to move around. The bathroom was a decent size. It had character. We loved it! There were so many food places right there. Check in and check out was seamless.

I had a snug room, perfect for one person i would say, cosy for two. Absolutely spotless, comfy beds, little bit of noise hearing doors from other rooms so if a light sleeper may need ear plugs if easily disturbed. So so clean, friendly staff. Hotel is positioned between coach station and rail station it is absolutely perfect where it is, right in the heart of Galway. Would highly recommend.
