Top Knocknacarra Hotel Reviews

The Snug Townhouse

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent
"Great location right in the heart of the Latin Quarter! The rooms were small (as the name suggests) but well maintained. We were amazed that you couldn’t hear the noise from the street from where we were staying! The staff was also super friendly, helpful, and accommodating and offered great suggestions for things to do in and around the city! I would highly recommend this hotel to solo travelers/couples (or folks willing to get comfy with friends) looking to stay near the traditional pub scene in Galway."
