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.

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.

Loved the easy check-in! Accommodations were clean & comfortable. The decor of the place was modern and cool. Location could not be better. Within walking distance of many pubs, restaurants and sights. Only downside was lack of parking. Had to park across the bridge at the church parking lot and carry our bags a bit of a distance. But I know that’s a challenge in Galway. Everything else was great!

The self checkin process was terrible. They sent me two different door codes to get inside. Then the computer wouldn't take my Expedia itinerary number to check me in. I tired my number and name multiple times and it finally went through. The desk troubleshooting number on the wall next to the self check in no one answered. The walls are so thin I could hear the neighbors drinking their coffee. Safe and convenient but check in and privacy could use work.

I would’ve preferred to have two room keys (maybe I missed something when checking in via the kiosk?). Shower was terrible - flooded the bathroom floor and leaked down to the floor beneath us (room 206). Apart from that, lovely room in a lovely location.

Served its purpose for a quick overnight stay. Check-in was a little frustrating as we arrived early and there was no staff on-site to hold our bags- would have been helpful as international travellers with suitcases. We received a code to enter the building and it was incorrect. We had to rely on other guests randomly entering/exiting until we received the correct code hours later. Our room had a bizarre odour that was ?fishy. Around 11pm guests in the surrounding rooms could be heard yelling through the walls. Like I said, it was just okay.

Great value

Great location and quality of accommodation. Self check in was super quick and easy too. Only issue we found was our window faced onto the bins area, so was noisy and a bit of a smell when we left the window open, plus no view of course. Great price though, would stay again

Highly recommend!

Very happy with our stay in Abbeygate Townhouse. The rooms were spotless and fresh. In an excellent location we were only a 5-7 min walk from eyre square. Although this hotel is self check in it is very easy to carry out and when there was a problem with the key card machine there was a lovely man there within 10 minutes who helped us and was very friendly and professional. The beds were like a cloud of air to sleep in. All together a wonderful stay and I would 100% recommend to others. We will definitely be back.

Location was fabulous. The rooms were clean and relatively spacious. We had trouble locating the parking lot affiliated with this property, but eventually figured it out. We also had trouble with the entry process. Both could be better laid out for newcomers. Overall though our experience was good.

The shower water was scalding. It was impossible to take a shower. There was no parking included in the stay. Parking across the street was an additional 20 pounds for the day. The person above us- room 102 had heavy feet. The walking started at 12pm and went on. Perhaps they could walk lighter if ppl are below. The location was great.
