The Snug Townhouse

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms great staff. The only downside was there was no lifts or elevators so it was a maze to get up to the upstairs room especially if you have luggage is so something to note. The noise is quite significant at night time because it is right across the pub but they do offer earplugs if needed"

Flannery's Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room, clean and comfortable"
