8.4/10 Very Good! (135 reviews)

We absolutely loved this property - so convenient to everything in Galway - easy walk to Latin Quarter and Shop Street, Eyre Square and the West End! Only wish there was a small mini-fridge - otherwise a perfect room, beautifully decorated and a fantastic shower with the best water pressure in Ireland!!

Even though it was like a secret code to get through several doors the room was wonderful and the best night’s sleep I’ve had on my weeklong trip through Southern Ireland.
