The location was great and the room was nice. There is no staff on site, so we weren’t able to get help when the wifi was down for the duration of our stay.

Room is spacious, modern, and well-designed. We never saw another person in the hotel, staff or guest, which was eerie. But virtual check-in and checkout was smooth, thanks to the clear instructions provided

Property was clean and very close to the main shopping areas and pubs. However, it is in a very loud area. I do not recommend it for people who have a hard time falling asleep to noise or are easily woken up.

Central Galway

The location was great for exploring Galway, central and walkable. There is a car park for hire just across from the building, which was very convenient. We didn’t realize the check-in was all automated (no staff onsite) so that took a little longer than expected as the required email wouldn’t load. Good to be aware of so you can have the booking code handy when you get there. Other than that, small but comfortable room with a great shower. Clean and well-appointed.

It’s a basic kind of place that will meet your needs but provide few amenities beyond that.

Air conditioner was not install, just a portable unit that didn’t vent to the outside. Shower temperature control was very difficult to operate. Most guest would assume it was broken. Also, street facing side was very loud. Earplugs were in the room whe. We arrived.

It was extremely hot in the room. There was on air conditioning just a portable fan. And the window only opens an inch. Way too hot to sleep in there. Thin walls too.
